Nexus 7 25 dollar and movie "bug"?

[jaguar10301]

I feel kinda bad posting this, but maybe someone will report it and get them to close up the loophole. I didn't do this intentionally but....

I originally set up our Nexus 7 for my wife because it's going to be hers in a bit but I get it for right now. Anyways I wanted to make sure she got the movie and the 25 dollars. No problem done. So tonight I unlocked and rooted it and set it up for myself. I get it up and running and see in my library I have the movie. I was like, no way it will run, it ran... I thought, can't be, let me check the play store and buying something. Yep 25 dollars.

So all you have to do is factory reset your account and then link a different account to it and they get the credit and movie too.

If this really works you should have made a video showcasing how this is done and titled the video `` loophole found of potential unlimited credit of ?15`` im sure a few websites would have had an entire article about it looool

Let's hope Google are able to fix this quick. Don't want them getting in trouble with there content partners!

haha well it's not unlimited, each account should still be limited to only one 25 dollar credit, but i thought each device was limited to only giving one too, so who knows...

I don't think it's a bug. But if it is it'll be fixed pretty quickly because it's been reported on some other Android news sites.

When you try buying something from the play store it has your credit listed and the amount you have left, so you go to the play store, pick something you like and when you click on buy before purchasing it it will show you your credit remaining.

Nope does not work.

You can check your credit by going to buy something in the store, then click the drop down. It should default to your Credit. It'll show your credit along with all your credit/debit cards that are listed on your account.

It shows up as a giftcard there.

You aren't trying to do it to the same google account are you? I got the credit on two different accounts and i wiped the device for the other account to get it. Other people have gotten it... I just can't believe they didn't check this first.
