- Google is updating its Play Points system to make accrued points much more useful in a variety of ways.
- It’s also debuting Super Weekly Prizes to possibly earn you free gear, including Pixel hardware.
- The company is also partnering with San Diego Comic-Con to allow certain Play Points members exclusive perks.
In 2018, Google launched the Play Points system. Membership allows you to earn points for purchases made on the Play Store. Those points can then be used in a variety of ways, although most would agree that their usefulness hasn’t been too wide-reaching. Thankfully, Google is making some significant changes today that will help make Play Points more exciting.
First, there will be more options for things you can get for trading in your points, which will finally include subscription trials. For example, you could trade in a certain number of points towards a six-month free trial of Walmart Plus. Offers like this one will only be able to be redeemed once per account, but that Walmart Plus trial is a perk worth nearly $80, so that’s a sweet deal.
