• Google Gives Free Play Store Credits To Customers Stranded At Home

Google has a nice surprise for Google One subscribers who are self-isolating to avoid catching or spreading Covid-19. The company sends out free Google Play credit coupons that can be redeemed for anything in the store. Gifts are sent via email, and while Google doesn't explicitly refer to the coronavirus, now is the perfect time for anyone stuck at home looking for entertainment. There's a Catch Not all Google users receive store credits, only Google One subscribers, those who paid for additional storage for Gmail and Google Drive. At least one TechRadar writer received an email from Google about their Google One account in the UK, and was pleased to find that they had received a free €4 credit. Android Police also reports that subscribers in the US receive a €5 credit and that emails are also sent to India. Other territories may follow in the coming days.

Take it while you can

While the prospect of free money (essentially) is attractive, don't wait too long before applying for Google credit, otherwise it will expire. You need to make sure you add the credit to your Google Payments account by June 29, and then you need to spend it by September 29. Once you've added credit to your account, you can use it to pay for some or all of your apps, games, movies, music, and books; in fact, everything you find in the Google Play Store. Enjoy!
