Earn and track your Google Play Points

• Buy apps or games on the Play Store
• Subscribe to Google One from Android
• Make in-app or in-game purchases and subscriptions
• Buy books with Google Play
  • Important: Play Credit can't be redeemed for books in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Israel or Spain.

• You can earn points with Google Play purchases that you've made on your Android device, computer, and Smart TV.
• You can’t purchase points or convert points to cash.
• You can’t transfer points between accounts or to someone else, even if they are a part of your family group.
• If you have Google Play Points and change your billing country, your points are lost and your level isn’t carried over to the new billing country.

To calculate points earned, multiply the item’s price by the base earn rate for your level. The number of points you’ll earn is rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. If you earn below a certain amount based on the applicable region, you may earn 0  points. 

You’ll only earn points for the price of the item, not including any taxes paid.

For example:

At the Bronze level, you earn 1 point per €1 EUR on all purchases. If you spend €5 EUR, you’ll get 5 points.

When you move up to the Silver level, you earn 1.10 points per €1 EUR. If you spend €5 EUR, you’ll get 6 points, rounded up from 5.50.

Earned points count towards both Play Points balance and level progress.

• Play Points balance: Use these points to unlock special items in apps and games or exchange them for Google Play Credit. When you use or exchange points, the points will be deducted from this balance. Any points you earn will expire one year after the last time you earned or used points.
• Level progress: Points you’ve earned in a calendar year count as progress towards the next level. Points won’t be deducted from your level progress when you use them. Once you reach a level, you keep that level until the end of the next calendar year.

When you return or cancel a purchase that you earned points on, those points will be deducted from your Play Points balance and level progress.

Some promotions will increase your earning rate on select purchases. You can earn points at the highest available earn rate during specified time periods.

• Multiple promotions can’t be combined on a single purchase.
• Promotions have a set earn rate that they apply.
• Promotions and their expiration dates may vary.
• Some promotions may require an activation.
• Some promotions may have an expiration date. If you make your purchase after the expiration date, you earn points at the regular rate for your level.
• Multi-purchase promotions are currency-specific. To qualify, purchases must occur in the same currency as the promotion.
  • Example: The multi-purchase promotion says, "Make 5 purchases of $0.99 USD or more to earn 100 points." Only purchases in USD qualify for this promotion.
• For app or game install promotions, it must be a first-time install. You must download and keep the app or game on your phone for a day to keep the points. Without doing so, points will be removed.

Subscriptions:

• If you purchase a subscription through the app, you earn points at the regular rate for your level.
• Some promotions may offer additional points for first time subscribers in select apps and games.
• You can only receive a maximum one time point bonus for being a first time subscriber to an app or game.
• Select subscriptions in apps and games may offer additional points when you’re billed.
• Points are only earned on purchases made through Google Play.

Here’s an example of how points are calculated with a special earn rate:

John is at the Silver level, and his base earn rate for all purchases is 1.10 points per €1 EUR.
He gets a special offer to earn 3 points per €1 EUR from a specific game. Because the special offer is a better earn rate than his base earn rate, John will get the special offer rate for purchases in that game.
When he spends €1 EUR in that game during the special offer period, he’ll earn 3 points on that purchase.
