    Did anyone have problems with not receiving there bonus shards? I bought a $50 dollar gift card but did not receive anything in game.

    Just redeemed my cards and got NOTHING!

    Did you get it from Walmart?

    nope, didn't see this until after
  • Is anyone else still having issues redeeming the rewards? I bought a $50 for my main and a $25 for my alt. The 50 rewards cleared fine, but the 25 shows redeemed, but I have not gotten anything in the game.

    You have to redeem the card using your goggle app. If you missed the rewards go to your goggle play acct into settings, click my acct, & then find and click on rewards. Any rewards you have not accepted yet are put there, just click and accept

    You found the rewards in the Google play app?

    I can confirm that this does work in Canada. Just need to buy US Google Play card from Walmart.com.

    Did you have to change your google account address to use it?

    I simply added a US payment method with account settings of Google Play.

    How do you add a US payment method? (I'm also from Canada and want in on this offer)

    Had the same problem. Just contact them, CG, and they'll fix it (the Google Play guys couldn't help)

    Yes, I hit redeem, and as I said, for my main account, everything worked fine. For my alt account (different Play accounts), it shows redeemed and I did not receive anything

    The post doesn't explicitly say you have to be an android user, so I guess someone at work is getting a google gift card for Christmas

    Full Rey + 3000 crystals with 50$ google from Walmart

    DEV Response

    We are always on the lookout for programs with our platform partners to share Galaxy of Heroes with new players everywhere. The “Scavenger Rey” promotion with Google is one such opportunity. It is currently available at Walmart and Walmart.com for players in the United States. Over the course of the next few weeks the promotion will be available to all players who purchase a Google Play gift card in any of the participating countries, regardless of retailer. Each offer can be redeemed up to three times per account. We will be sharing more information about this program in the very near future so stay tuned!

    Hi @CG_Kozispoon,
    Will we get an update which countries are participating when it's rolled out? Thanks.

    Edit: just reread that it's regardless of retailer.

  • In a multiplayer game which has implemented competitive elements, and especially this game where IOS users and Android users, US users and Rest of the World users play on the same shards mixed together. A promotion that gives clear advantage to only a small % of the player base and clearly gives them an advantage over the others, is unacceptable and development team or publisher that cares for their game or game balance should never allow such to happen, even if they get paid for it. Clearly this is not the case here but even greed should have it´s limit (also looking at the current data packs). It´s also sad to see that some of the player base here actually supports such practices. Its mind-boggling to see the comments such as "blame apple" even if its the case you could support your fellow gamers that are not on that platform and are not getting the benefit, but noooo you just have to grind it in their face don't you, the lack of unity between players is just disgusting. To see such a beloved franchise such as Star Wars to be the tool of Corporate greed and player division is just sad.

    If shards would be region and platform locked I wouldn't have a problem with this promotion.

    Oddly enough this is tied to my account, not for purchasing the promo. As the gift card doesn't have to be spent on SWGOH, it's a missed opportunity.

    My son has an Android phone. I could have bought the promo, let him buy some new games and then get credited for my account in game for participating.

    Instead of that I now spent 7.99 EUR to get Minecraft to his iPad instead.
  • So what's the deal here? Even though the original post says "retailers across the world" we are confident it's ONLY the US and ONLY Walmart? Did I buy a bunch of GooglePlay gift cards for no reason at all? I still have no rewards in my google play account and no rewards in GoH. I feel like the wool was pulled over my head and I was punched in the face!

    This suggests to me that sometime in the next few weeks it will work worldwide just not atm. My guess is walmart paid for a period of exclusivity.

    I agree with a lot of what you said here. The fact that android users (not all obviously) feel the need to gloat and rub it in the face of iOS users doesn't show the community coming together to make the game better. It's those few selfish folks that only care about getting ahead of you so it makes them happy they get the deal and you don't.

    I definitely agree that if this was setup for droid to be on a shard, iOS to be in a shard and to have regions on a shard, these types of deals wouldn't matter at all. Everyone is getting a fair shake. But the way it's setup now is that so many people continue to fall behind bc of some of these deals. Droid users may say it's not a lot... but it's still something.
  • I have an android. Its pretty awesome!

    The store near me doesn't have any googleplay themed cards... so I tried to order online a few times but it seems to not matter what payment method I use, they keep canceling my orders. I hope you have better luck than me.

    They don't have Google Play cards? That seems odd...they usually have in the Electronics department or the gift card department. It doesn't have to be the SW themed cards.

    Well if that's the case then why didn't the gift cards I got from another retailer not give me a reward?

    Because it needs to be from Walmart.
