How To Redeem A Gift Card On The Google Play Store
Users can easily redeem Google Play gift cards, gift codes or promo codes on the Play Store app and website with a few clicks or taps. Whenever a card or promo code is redeemed, the funds are credited into the Google Play account and appear as part of the Google Play balance. Users can then spend that balance to buy anything on the Play Store, including apps, movies, books, subscriptions and more. Users can also use cards and codes to make in-app purchases.

The company has also made publishing apps on the Play Store harder. As of March 2022, there are still over 2.5 million apps on the Play Store, per Statista.
