However, until October 19th, you can save up to twenty percent on gift cards when you buy them through the Google Play store.
There are a variety of discounts and retailers available, including 20 percent off $50 at Barnes and Noble, 20 percent off $100 at REI, and 10 percent off $100 at GameStop.You don’t need an Android phone or tablet to save, but you’ll need to sign up for a Google Play account if you don’t have one already. In addition to the gift cards, Google is offering discounts on subscriptions like Calm and DuoLingo, as well as bonuses on in-app purchases in games like Pokémon Go and PUBG Mobile.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Brad BourqueDealsGadgetsVerge ShoppingMost PopularThe Tesla Roadster could have stayed vaporwareI tried out Apple’s HomeView smart displayHoney, Xbox shrunk its controllerThe Ocarina of Time remake feels remarkably modern — and surprisingly terrifyingThe Alexa Tablet 12 Pro is almost the Android tablet we neededAdvertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad
