I saw this posted earlier then marked as "Unobtainable deal" but I have gone through the checkout process and completed the transaction:

15% off both $50 and $100 Google Play gift cards on Paypal's own digital gift card page.
This is directly from Paypal on their official page - not a 3rd party.

mod: If there is a problem with this mark as expired and leave comments open so we can know why it is "Unobtainable".

Received confirmation email from eBay for transaction:
"Your order is confirmed and will be delivered in a separate email, typically within a few hours of purchase."

Don't forget cash back (if it applies to gift card purchases)

    I miss the days when I could use my Telstra credit to buy stuff from Google play store. Hope they bring similar back.

      It's over? Makes me feel better.. I've been kicking myself for about 5 years for not being on that plan. I'm pretty sore and bruised by now.

    • WaywardOne on 17/07/2018 - 20:17

      Just curious — I did once use an Android app that partially paid you back via paypal. Now my Apple ID keeps getting locked (ok just twice in two weeks). At first I ignored the "acccount locked" emails, but now dialogs are popping up in iTunes. So I reluctantly reset my awesome password.

      Question: By converting Google Play Telstra dollars to AUD, did I have my Apple ID flagged as a 'hack target'?

      • jdogg on 18/07/2018 - 17:51

      i think so

      • leyton01 on 17/07/2018 - 16:59
        +2

        I can via Google Play Music - you set your primary billing as "Google Play Balance" and you can set a backup card for when it runs out.

        This gets you youtube premium and I think you should be able to do the same for new members.

      • jackthefrost on 17/07/2018 - 17:00

        I can't find the option/link to let me do that

        • leyton01 on 17/07/2018 - 17:05
          +5

          In Google Play Music at least:
          Expand the menu
          Go to Settings
          "Update Payment Method"
          Tick "Google Play Balance"
          It will prompt you for backup method, select one if you want.

          @leyton01:
          ah it seems first you must have at least some money in your google play account, otherwise the option is "hidden". that's why i didn't see it at first. got $0.10 there and it showed up.

    Is paying by credit card to buy this gift card considered as cash advance?

    • nismo on 17/07/2018 - 17:35

      In the checkout it said CC payment wasn't an option (for me anyway), not sure of that helps you though..

    • Bargain Fighter on 17/07/2018 - 17:39

      I've been using Amex to pay for Woolworths Wish gift cards and Prezze many times. Just paid for this Google gift card, was charged $85.

      If it's considered as Cash Advance, will the fee be issued in the next statement?

      • WhyAmICommenting on 17/07/2018 - 21:42
        +1

        I doubt gift cards are cash advance since they aren't cash

        • Enjoyer on 20/07/2018 - 01:55

          My CC says,,

          cash advance means any transaction treated by us as a cash advance,
          including transactions where you or the additional cardholder:
          • draw cash from the card account using an automatic teller machine or at a financial institution; or
          • receive from a merchant a cash substitute (including, but not limited to, using the card account to purchase gambling chips or tokens, traveller’s cheques or money orders, or to load value to a stored value card or facility); or
          • use the card account to purchase lottery tickets (or scratchies);
          • use the card account to pay bills over the counter at a financial institution; or
          • transfer, or arrange for the transfer of, funds from the card account to another account.

    • Enjoyer on 20/07/2018 - 01:52

      No with Amex, but most likely yes with other Visa/Master cards.

  • Bargain Fighter on 17/07/2018 - 17:44

    The Terms & Conditions in the eBay listing page states "Card value expires on the later of 5 years following the date of: (1) card issuance, or (2) last activity on Google Play stored value account to which the card is redeemed". However, it states only TWO years in the Gift card order and claim email received from PayPal.

    In the Claim page on PayPal, it states 2 years, but this link says 5 years https://play.google.com/intl/ALL_au/about/card-terms.html

    Anyone knows which one is correct? as I want to buy some more, hence needs long validity.

    • scrimshaw on 17/07/2018 - 17:49
      +3

      rules in australia were updated in end of 2017 to stipulate that in NSW at least, you need at least 3yrs on gift cards before the value expires.

      So perhaps Paypal are just using some old terms and conditions and haven't updated it.

    • iamcerberus on 17/07/2018 - 18:31

      interestingly in the page description it states "There’s no credit card required, and balances never expire." - yet once it is claimed: "Card value expires on the later of 5 years following the date of: (1) card issuance, or (2) last activity on Google Play stored value account to which the card is redeemed."

      • Bargain Fighter on 17/07/2018 - 19:06

        "(2) last activity on Google Play stored value account to which the card is redeemed"

        Does above sentence mean if the account is inactive for 5 years, the credit will expire? Or in other words, as long as your account is active, the credit will never expire?

          @scubacoles: really? Mine stopped end of last year. so you cant use these gift cards to pay for netflix?

        • ESEMCE on 17/08/2018 - 11:19

          @lonewolf:
          Netflix don't have any other payment details in order to bill us any other way than via Google Play Billing.
          So we're either getting free Netflix, or Netflix is still charging us through Google Play Billing on my wife's account.
          Obviously we can no longer pay for Google Play Billing from Telstra Credit, but recharging the Google Play Account balance with discounted Gift Cards is still possible.
          Can't say that I've checked if money is actually coming out of her account each month though.

    • SBOB on 17/07/2018 - 18:01

      They're for anything that's on the Google Play store
      - Apps/Games
      - Youtube/Google Music Subscriptions
      - TV/Movies
      - Books/Mags
      - In App Purchases (including App subscriptions)
