Google Play Prepaid voucher launched in India

Back in June, Google launched prepaid cards in India that could be redeemed on its Play Store. Today the company has taken a step forward by launching ‘Google Play Gift Cards’ that can be bought at offline stores, as well as e-commerce site.

Unlike the prepaid vouchers, the Play Gift Cards are available in dominations of Rs 750, Rs 1,000, and Rs 1,500. These Gift Cards are available offline retail stores namely Spice Hotspot, Vijay Sales, Planet M, Planet Mobile and Sangeetha Mobiles. Alternatively, one can also head to Snapdeal and buy a Gift Card with cash on delivery(COD) option.

These vouchers are the same as the prepaid cards that were launched earlier this year, and they can be used to purchase apps, games, movies or games. These cards essentially circumvent the hassle of using a debit or credit card. All one needs to do is launch the Google Play Store and swipe from the left of the screen. Tap on the newly introduced redeem option, enter the code of your Google Play Gift Card and start downloading any digital content from the Store.

“We hope the increased availability of Google Play Gift Cards will make it easier for users to enjoy your favorite movies, books, magazines, apps, and games across all your devices. Users in India can buy games like Prince of Persia at Rs 10 or get big discounts on movies like The Great Gatsby or Sherlock Holmes during this promotion ” Saurabh Agarwal, Head of Retail Partnerships – Google Play, India said in an official blog post.

As an introductory offer, Google is offering discounts for popular games, movies and books. For example, the Prince of Persia Android game is available for only Rs 10, while movies like The Hangover part III and Captain Phillips, which usually cost Rs 390, are now available for Rs 170 and Rs 20 respectively. Books like Gyan Prakash’s Mumbai Fables, which usually costs Rs 399, is now available for Rs 180.50.
