- Users can now use “Gift Cards” and “Google Play Points” sold through the “Google Play Store” app—an Android content store—to receive discounts.
- As before, users can purchase “Gift Cards” using payment methods such as credit cards registered in the “Google Play Store” app. Additionally, they can use their accumulated “Google Play Points” to purchase “Gift Cards” or buy them at a discounted price.
- To support the use of “Google Play Points” for discounts on “Gift Cards,” a new “Gift Cards” section has been added to the “Use (Shop)” tab on the “Google Play Points” page.
About two and a half months ago in late August 2026, digital gift cards went on sale within the Android content store “Google Play Store” app.
Starting from early to mid-November 2026, it has become possible to redeem and use “Google Play Points” for discounts on these gift cards. Specifically, while users can still purchase gift cards using payment methods registered in the Google Play Store app like credit cards as before, they can now also use their accumulated “Google Play Points” to purchase gift cards or buy them at a discounted price.
The number of “Google Play Points” required varies depending on the gift card plan.
Along with the introduction of Google Play Points discounts for gift cards, a new “Gift cards” section has been added to the “Use (Shop)” tab on the “Google Play Points” page, making it even easier to purchase gift cards.
