If you\u2019ve received a <\/span>, or considering it as a gift for someone, it\u2019s handy to know what you can buy with it. Here are our suggestions for spending your Google Play credit.<\/p>\n

1. Pay for subscriptions with your Google Play gift card<\/h2>\n

You might be surprised to learn that you can pay for your YouTube Premium subscription using your Google Play gift card. To do that, just <\/span>redeem your Google Play gift card directly on YouTube<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not all. Your Google Play gift card is essentially a payment method. Like any debit card, credit card, or <\/span>, you can add it to your Google Pay account. All you need to do is redeem your gift card. Its value will then show in your Google Pay profile as Google Play balance.<\/p>\n

Use this balance to pay for many subscriptions that accept Google Pay. YouTube Premium is just one idea. Or, you could get an upgrade of your personal Google account to Google One. Possibilities are endless. Dare to think beyond the Google Play Store.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good to know: <\/b><\/span>Your Google Play balance is a payment method, but it\u2019s not cash. And it can\u2019t be converted to cash. That means it won\u2019t work for all payments via Google Pay – e.g. you can\u2019t use it in physical shops that accept Google Pay. The best way to know if it works for a specific case is to try. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Buy or rent movies with your Google Play gift card<\/h2>\n

You can use your\u00a0Google Play gift card\u00a0to get the latest movies or TV shows from the Google Play Store UK. If you\u2019re not in the mood to buy, you can also rent them. Rental periods may vary, though. To be sure, check the\u00a0Additional Information<\/span>\u00a0section of your movie or show before you finalise your rental.<\/p>\n

Our tip:<\/b><\/span> Share your purchased or rented content with up to 5 family members by signing up for Google Play Family Library. It works via your Google Play Store App. Just tap Menu, then Account > Family > Sign up for Family Library. You’ll need to create a family group if you don’t have one already. Either way, you\u2019ll be ready to share the fun in a few minutes. <\/span><\/p>\n
