Google Play Offers Up to 20 Percent Off Gift Cards From 30 Retailers
Google Play offers up to 20% off gift cards from 30 retailers through Oct. 19, including Barnes & Noble, REI and GameStop.
The retailers taking part span categories including books and technology as well as food and travel, The Verge reported. The gift card discounts are available through the Google Play store. Shoppers do not need an Android phone or tablet to use the offer, but anyone who does not already have a Google Play account will need to create one. The promotion runs until October 19.
In addition to the gift cards, Google is offering discounts on subscriptions such as Calm and DuoLingo, along with bonuses on in-app purchases in games including Pokémon Go and PUBG Mobile. The Verge noted that meaningful savings on gift cards are uncommon because the cards can be used for essentially anything the retailer sells.
