I got some google play credits that are expiring soon and have no idea what to spend them on.

    So, I have no idea what your patterns, habits, and just general life is like, but I actually use it for some subscriptions. I currently pay for Sync for Lemmy using it, and also for a mass texting app.

    Are there any mobile games you like? You can use it for some iAP’s :)

    If there is an app that you’ve been eyeing but it is a little more than you’d like to spend, maybe use your credits on that!

    That’s how I paid for 1Password 7 a few years ago lol

      Whoa! How do you generate enough play credits to pay for some subscriptions? Please share the wealth of knowledge 🙏

        I’m not the person you asked, but I find that making searches within YouTube generates a few (relatively high value) GOR surveys. I also get them when I walk near shops, but much lower value, especially as I usually didn’t go into the shops it’s asking me about.

        In total, I’ve earned £134.39 since 2014 - not loads, but enough to mean I rarely pay real money for an app.

    Traditionally it was my hard budget for in-app purchases, but that’s dropped off and I’ve been buying movies. I’ve found that I can buy a movie via Google Play, share it with my Movies Anywhere account and then share it with my Vudu account. Movies on Vudu simply look and sound better, they run at a higher bitrate. They’re still not as good as UHD Blu-rays but they’re real darn close.

    I used the credit on a Google One subscription. It gives me additional Google Drive space which I can share with my family.

    I have an iPhone so it goes to my PayPal balance, which I used to pay for a lot of different online subscriptions so it just goes into the pot. It’s $2 once every couple of months so I’m not exactly getting rich off it. When I had an Android I got a lot more surveys and I used it for premium features in Play Store apps.

    I would mostly spend them on in-game purchase (mostly for arcaea) but you can buy apps/games with it.

    I buy books and TV shows. If you haven’t seen The White Lotus I highly recommend it. I have a million book suggestions too if you like.
