A little over a year ago, the rewards program Google Play Points, which allows us earn points with each of our purchases that we can then exchange for discounts, coupons or special items in certain games.
good now google play goes even further and started to accept ‘Play Points’ to purchase in the store so to speak another way to paythus improving the benefits offered by this loyalty program.
Play Points as payment method
The program game points he allows us earn points for every euro spent Depending on your level, our level is Bronze ($1 = 1 point), Silver ($1 = 1.1 points), Gold ($1 = 1.2 points) or Platinum ($1 = 1.4 points), and these points can be converted into cash. One point equals one euro cent.
So far to be able to pay with Play Points a previous step had to be done. First it was necessary redeem points for Google Play credit to add them on sale, and the available credits are $1 (100 points), $2 (200 points), $5 (500 points) and $10 (1000 points).
In the latest version of Google Play Store the store began to display directly in the checkout window a new section for use Play Points to pay, avoiding that we first have to exchange the points for the balance. And best of all, it leaves pay with exact points. In other words, if an application costs 1.19 dollars, you can pay with 119 points. Before, you could only use 100 points to exchange them for one euro and pay the remaining 0.19 dollars with a card.
With this novelty, Google gives more visibility to its game points, because in addition to informing the user of the number of points he will earn with the purchase, it reminds him that he can use the points he has accumulated to pay. However, it seems that not all of this functionality is available to everyone. It started to activate today.
