You probably have Google Play points you can turn into gift cards - how to check
I had seven years' worth of points I didn't know about, and now I have a Starbucks card to show for them.
Google Play points, earned through various purchases and subscriptions, can be turned into gift cards for popular stores. Many users are unaware of this feature, potentially leaving unused points sitting idle. Each purchase, such as apps, in-app purchases, digital books, movies, or streaming subscriptions, contributes to the points balance.
Retail gift cards are available through the Google Play Store for $5 (750 points), $10 (1,500 points), and $20 (3,000 points). Unused points expire 12 months after the last activity, resetting each time a point is earned or used. After checking her Play Store account, one user discovered over 1,000 points amassed since 2019, which could be redeemed for a Starbucks gift card.
The Google Play Store also offers weekly giveaways and the option to boost points through Google Pay or other challenges. To check the points balance, users can open the Play Store app, find the balance at the top, and access the Earn and Use tabs for more information.
