Play Store Google Play balance & gift cards
Hi all,
We've noticed a lot of questions about Google Play gift cards on the subreddit lately, and we want to help! To address your concerns and provide some clarity, we've put together this guide on some of the most common gift card topics.
What you need to know about Play gift cards
- To top up Play balance, Play Store users can redeem gift cards which is a form of payment available in several countries.
- Google doesn't sell directly nor refund Play gift cards. Users can purchase from authorized retail partners. Keep the physical or email receipt.
- The Play Store country must be correct, matching the users location. Learn more in Google Play gift card and Prepaid Play Balance Terms of Service.
- If anyone asks to buy and share gift codes, they are likely a scammer. Be careful not to be a victim of a scam.
How to redeem gift cards
- Google Play gift cards aren't eligible for underage user accounts nor to be used as a family payment method.
- Google Play gift cards must match the user's country or region.
- If a user moved to a different country or region, they should update their Google Play country.
- If the Play country is correct, but there’s a “This card can only be used in country X” error, contact Google Play Support.
- To fix the “Can’t redeem your gift card. Send us more information” error, the user should fill out the form linked in the error message. They must use the same Google account that’s used to redeem the card. Pictures of receipt and gift card must be attached to the form. A reply will be sent through email typically within 2 business days. Learn how to Fix problems when you redeem a gift card.
Spend Play balance in Play Store
- Play balance can be used to purchase items in the Play Store.
- Because of local legislation, users in some countries or regions can’t purchase books with Play balance.
- Play balance can’t be used to top up Google Pay or added to Google Wallet.
- Users who temporarily travel to another country or region may not be able to use their Play balance.
- Users who permanently moved to another country or region should update their Google Play country and redeem gift cards that match the new currency.
If the Play country is correct but there are still Play balance errors, users should contact Google Play Support.

Can't change my mind at this point.
I'm convinced everyone who says they won merch or high points from Play Perks is google staff. Been running those without missing a week since it was a thing back in 2019 and have NEVER won even more than 15 points. The statistics just don't match up.

Books Wrong Multiplier on Books
Google advertised a 15x play points boost on books this weekend as part of Play Fest, but now I see it's only set to 5x 😶. I was planning to actually buy a book to help push me to diamond since I would actually use the book, but I'm not willing to do it on 5x.

Apps Google Play app suspended after a DMCA claim. Can it be restored?
Today my app was suspended from Google Play after a DMCA complaint filed by a competitor with a similar app.
What’s strange is that his complaint mentions that our apps share the same core idea and mechanics, as if those alone are copyright infringement. Some of the 3D assets involved are also publicly available for free.
I’ve already submitted an appeal to Google Play.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Is there a realistic chance of getting my app restored? How long do appeals usually take, and what should I do if mine gets rejected?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Music Apple Music charged me ₹139 through Google Play, but the subscription was never activated
I purchased the Apple Music Individual Offer for ₹139 through the Apple Music app on Android and paid using UPI. The money was deducted successfully, and the purchase appeared in my Google Play subscription and order history.
However, Apple Music still shows “Subscribe Now” instead of recognising my subscription. I tried requesting a refund through Google Play, but my refund request was rejected.
Has anyone experienced this issue? How did you resolve it, or is there another way to get a refund when the purchase is recorded in Google Play but the subscription remains inactive?
I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

Google Play Points Quest not updating
I can't figure out why this last Quest task won't pop. Surely I am logged into my Play Games account if I have earned the other achievements? I've poked thru settings for the game itself, my Google Play and Play Store settings, nothing works. I have already waited 24+ hours.

Play Store Banned from both angry birds and 8 ball pool
This is the third time I'm getting banned on these games like seriously what are they doing. Smh I don't think I will ever participate in these quests.
Is it because I never spend money and trying to get points through this or what.

Games Play League has disappeared from my Google Play Store.
The first image shows my other account in normal status, and the second is my main account. I checked the website, and my account hasn't been blocked. However, checking the real-time rankings in this state is just too troublesome.

Google Play country
Trying to subscribe to an app with Google Play credit, but keep getting error message saying I need to be in the same country as where I purchased the credit. As I haven't left the country I live in for about 10 years I'm a bit confused! I've contacted Google but wondered if anyone else had experienced this and if you managed to resolve it?

Play Store For a leading tech company, the user interface and visibility of the play store is BAD
For years i despise the design, its really hard to find NEW games like you can on steam.

What the hell
Why have they made it so you have to select each individual app you want to update instead of what they had before - update all. What nonsense is this
