First time Google Pay users in select countries can get $10 Google Play credit after making five purchases

After rebranding Android Pay to Google Pay, the company is looking to get more people to use its payment platform by offering $10 Google Play credit. There are a few things you need to know, though. One is that it’s only open to users in Canada, the US and UK, and Australia. Two, you need to make five purchases, which doesn’t have a minimum amount required to be counted. Three, it’s only available to new Google Pay users. Four, it was initially supposed to last until May 14^th but according to Android Police the promo has been extended to August 31^st.

Google is combining multiple mobile payment solutions under Google Pay

Just like it has too many messaging platforms, Google seems to have too many payment services. The payment part is changing today as the company is integrating Android Pay and Google Wallet into a single service called Google Pay.

"With Google Pay, it’ll be easier for you to use the payment information saved to your Google Account, so you can speed through checkout with peace of mind. Over the coming weeks, you’ll see Google Pay online, in store, and across Google products, as well as when you’re paying friends," Google explains. the service is already integrated into a number of apps includingAirbnb, Fandango, HungryHouse, Instacart and others. No news yet of Canadian uptake but Google Pay should work wherever Android Pay was accepted.
