Does anyone know when they're shipping out the tablets? 4 weeks after the end of the contest or sooner?

It's actually March 31, 2014. And the credits don't expire once you redeem them. Just means you have to redeem the code by then.

Wrong, the terms say you have to redeem credits by end of January 2015.

The language is a bit unclear.
All Instant Win Prizes must be claimed on or before 12:00:00 PM ET on March 31st, 2014, and must be redeemed by January 31st, 2015.
Does that mean you have to redeem the code by Jan 31/15 or use the credit? I'd be surprised if google put an expiry date on account credit.

From Android KitKat Contest Full Contest Rules and Regulations:
"Entrants who have been selected to receive an Instant Win Prize will receive a “win” message including a Prize Claim Code on the Entry Confirmation Page."
"All Instant Win Prizes must be claimed on or before 12:00:00 PM ET on March 31st, 2014, and must be redeemed by January 31st, 2015."

My understanding:
The Prize Claim Code expires, can not be redeemed on or after 12:00:00 PM ET on March 31st, 2014.
When you redeem a code, you get a $5 Credit in you Play Store account.
This $5 credit expires, can not be used after January 31st, 2015.

It is best to speak to someone at Google to find out why the Play Credits expires, maybe its for accounting purposes.

Yeah I guess promotional Google Play credit does expire. Surprised it doesn't just "mix in" with purchased credit which surely, by law, doesn't expire.

For the people who have won a tablet - are you allowed to enter again towards the same address? I did not see anything specific about 1 prize per household.

So that makes three of us for today? I thought it was only one per week?

What? There's 1000 tablets in total being given away until December 31st, 2013. How would one a week work? That would be like 16 tablets in total if it was 1 per week.

There are 58 winners drawn every week and in the final week there will be 72 winners drawn.
