Get Paid With Google Opinion Rewards

Google Opinion Rewards sends short surveys of three to five questions based on your recent shopping trips or search history. Each survey pays between $0.10 and $1.00 in Google Play Credit.

Keep location services on. Most surveys are triggered when you visit physical stores, so enabling location access increases how often surveys appear.

Claim Apps During Limited-Time Free Sales

App developers occasionally drop prices to zero for a weekend or promotional event to boost their Play Store rankings. When an app goes to a 100% discount, claiming it adds it to your library permanently.

Apps like AppsFree or the r/googleplaydeals subreddit track daily price drops without requiring manual searching.

Use Google Play Points for Free App Credit

Google Play Points rewards you for spending on the Play Store and for downloading featured free games, even if you delete them immediately. You earn points for every dollar spent, redeemable for Google Play Credit at roughly 100 points per $1.00.

Try the Google Play Pass with a Free Trial

Google Play Pass is a subscription service giving you access to hundreds of premium apps and games, including Stardew Valley and Monument Valley, with no ads or upfront costs. Google regularly offers free trials of one to three months for new subscribers, and some mobile carriers include trial access as a perk.
