I totally agree - The payment process wasn't great for me, either. I paid on 9/29 using Google Payments/Wallet; it wasn't obvious in checkout what card would be charged (I've got a credit and debit in my account). There wasn't a place in the ordering process to specify WHICH card I wanted to use, which is nuts since for a lot of people, the card you use for a $0.99 app might not be the thing you want to use for a $500 purchase (which mine was by the time I added tax+protect to my 32GB 5x). Turns out my debit was charged, and I'd have much rather had my credit since that's a decent chunk of miles. I've been in touch with support; who admitted that the process was confusing, and one guy actually tried to see if he could change payment methods - no dice. It's especially bothersome since Payments still lists the charge as 'pending' and the preauthorization is gone. My options are to keep it on the debit, or cancel and start again (which I didn't want to do since I ordered like half an hour after the end of the keynote on 9/29).
Also, FWIW: The Google Play method says my black 32GB N5x is "leaving house by" Oct 20.
You may be able to talk your CC company into giving you the points. When there was an issue and I couldn't use my Capital One card to purchase a Moto X, they gave me the points despite me having to use a different card. Worth a call.
