Thanks for the 'heads up'!

I am not too sure though about the first qualification though, which says, and apparently only applies to: "Nexus 7 purchased by October 29th, 2012".

Are they trying to cut out folks who waited for the new 32 GB version, I wonder?

Edit: I have just checked... I ordered mine on the 30th which presumably means that I am excluded!

Edit 2: It looks as if they have to have been purchased from the Asus on-line shop also!

haven't had much luck registering my serial number on the asus site.

haven't had much luck registering my serial number on the asus site.

Likewise... thought I might as well register mine anyway, but having eventually work out that the Device Type is Eee Pad, it refused to accept my serial number also!

Isn't it a slowwww website though!

 

[deadite66]

seemed to have better luck keeping the letters to lower case.

 

[Montala]

Have tried both lower and upper case, without any success.

The only character which could be suspect is an 'o' or an '0' but in both cases it tells me that serial number is incorrect!

 

[Skully]

Won't accept my serial even though it's quite clearly correct :/

It's so people who bought theirs before the price cut don't feel so bad about buying early.

 

[POB]

My serial number on the Nexus status screen is not the same as the sticker / box

Worked in the end.

CSSN or SSN?

CSSN automatically identifies the device for me but doesn't work.

On the box. SSN works. (mine is 12 characters)

 

[deadite66]

The SSN worked for me.

 

[muon]

On the box. SSN works. (mine is 12 characters)

You sure that will work though? CSSN is the one which shows up on the device.

The fact SSN worked might just mean any number would work as it isn't automatically finding the device?

edit:

okay anything doesn't work, so it's safe to say it still checks. SSN worked for me.

 

[POB]

The SSN was also on the sticker on the back of the device I peeled off.

On the unit the SSN said SN:

Just done this and got the email with the link to send a copy of my receipt. Will be great if it comes through!

 

[warren_1979]

What the hell does Reseller name mean? Am I just being dumb??

 

[RuMp3l4$k1n]

Just done this and only got the 1 email through with a 10% discount. Shouldn't the request for my receipt come at the same time?

 

[warren_1979]

Not accepting my SSN

 

[warren_1979]

Woking now. Had to log off and log back in again and the SSN worked fine.

I only got a email with 10% off. How do I get my coupon??

 

[Biz.Kid09]

I got the 10% code and then a few minutes later the email asking for my receipt. This news has spread very quickly so Asus have probably crashed , look at their website I doubt it gets more than 10 people a day usually!
