Google Financing option...

[sassmk2]

I am curious for the people who used this option...do you have to wait to use the account? I am approved but they're telling me I have wait 7 to 10 days to use the card?

What doesn't make sense to me...can someone who was approved let me know if they have to wait or can use it right away?

Thanks in advance!

Same here, used it right away. Also interesting note was that I applied using my wife's credit info {with her consent of course, after all, she's the ones who ruined my credit} and still used it right away connected to my Google account.

I have no idea why they say I have to wait...I have the card number and it is just says invalid when I try to add it as a payment in checkout and also tried adding to my Google payments account. I have contacted both Google and synchrony and they have no idea why it won't work. I even logged into the account to verify the funds are available. All there.

Thanks for you comments. Appreciate it very much.

Its a card with the account number on it in the mail. Says wait 7 days to get after 10 days if you don't get it call. The card is just the number so you can have it if you need to pay a bill. Like the amazon store card same bank

It took a few minutes, but once it was approved, when I went to the store it told me it was available to use for the purchase.

I did not have to add it as a payment option.

I also had called synchrony, they gave me the number over the phone, and told me it was available for use right away.

Yeah, it was never added to my payment account so I'm starting to think that there is a problem with the account. When I try and use the card number it says invalid so it obviously isn't working. Lol

Thanks for the reply.

I would totally check on it. Try and contact Synchrony directly? Mine was not only immediate but I was able to see the actual account via the Google Store showing balance, available credit, account number etc.

Makes me wonder if you did not get "click jacked."

Sounds like Google's site doesn't see the account at all!

are you by chance using a different email for synchony than your google store account ?

 

[sassmk2]

Google and Synchrony can't seem to figure it out. They don't have any idea why my Gmail account isn't showing my credit card from them. They are escalating the issue higher up to see if they can find out where it went wrong.

At least the phone I want is still out of stock!(I was trying to pre-order on the 4th too, been almost 10 days). [emoji35]

I am not same email I just chatted with Google and they don't even see my application or account at all. So I am going to contact Synchrony and see if they can fix that otherwise the Google rep told me to reapply?

I went for the Google Financing option for my pre-order of a 32gb at Project Fi.
But I haven't gotten any communication from the credit card company Google is using.
What is ya'll experience?
I went to use it to buy a Chromecast but the option wasn't there.

My experience: ordered 32gb silver xl through synchrony in 10/13. On 10/14, got email that 128gb was in stock. Canceled 32gb and ordered 128gb silver. Card was being declined so had to call synchrony. They said there was a hold on it as they wanted to confirm the purchase for the 128gb since the price was higher. Confirmed it. Hour later, got an automated call to confirm the purchase again. So all in all 2 contacts.

Google store does not show my card. I also have not setup my account with synchrony online or anything. Also not showing anything in payments.google.com. However orders page shows cancelled 32gb and preordered 128gb. shipping est Nov 23ish. Also got all the emails for everything.

Quick questions:

1. Is it possible to get the monthly payments billed to an existing credit card?

2. did you all just sign up at check out of your order to get the financing option?

3. should I being applying for the Google financing while waiting for the variant I want to come back in stock (to avoid possible chance of it going out of stock again during the application process)?

1. Maybe? But it would go through synchrony. Unless you just buy it with credit card.

2. Signed up during checkout

3. Signed up while phone was on backorder and trying to get order in. Ended up signing up the day before I actually ordered. When I actually ordered, store credit was an option.

Just wanted to let everyone know that my issue was my wife was signed in to my email when she never uses my PC. So I applied for the financing under her Gmail account!

I felt really dumb for not checking that but she never uses my computer so that is why I never thought of it.

So, all is resolved on my end. So the problem is now that the Pixel XL is on back order I just ordered from Verizon and will be receiving it tomorrow! (I wanted to get from Google for the unlocked bootloader) but the phone will have everything I want(I want root for adaway mainly).

Thanks for all the replies.
