I got some google play credits that are expiring soon and have no idea what to spend them on.

    Mostly the ad removal options or pro versions of some apps.

      You download the app and sends you surveys. They pay you for the surveys in Google Play Store credit. You can spend that on apps, in-app purchases, etc.

    Traditionally it was my hard budget for in-app purchases, but that’s dropped off and I’ve been buying movies. I’ve found that I can buy a movie via Google Play, share it with my Movies Anywhere account and then share it with my Vudu account. Movies on Vudu simply look and sound better, they run at a higher bitrate. They’re still not as good as UHD Blu-rays but they’re real darn close.

    I might put it towards ad removal for Sync for Lemmy, haven’t fully decided yet.

    So, I have no idea what your patterns, habits, and just general life is like, but I actually use it for some subscriptions. I currently pay for Sync for Lemmy using it, and also for a mass texting app.

    Are there any mobile games you like? You can use it for some iAP’s :)

    If there is an app that you’ve been eyeing but it is a little more than you’d like to spend, maybe use your credits on that!

    That’s how I paid for 1Password 7 a few years ago lol

      Whoa! How do you generate enough play credits to pay for some subscriptions? Please share the wealth of knowledge 🙏

        I’m not the person you asked, but I find that making searches within YouTube generates a few (relatively high value) GOR surveys. I also get them when I walk near shops, but much lower value, especially as I usually didn’t go into the shops it’s asking me about.

        In total, I’ve earned £134.39 since 2014 - not loads, but enough to mean I rarely pay real money for an app.

    I used the credit on a Google One subscription. It gives me additional Google Drive space which I can share with my family.

    I like SeriesGuide for tracking shows and movies I watched, so I bought Series X unlock for it.

    Other apps I’ve been happy with purchasing was swiftback up for backing up and restoring apps on rooted phones once Titanium Backup stopped getting supported.

    Power Amp for listening to music.

    1DM+ for downloading stuff from websites. It detects what are videos, pics, etc.

    Hermit which makes lite apps. You can do that with Firefox or any browser for free, but I’ve liked hermit enough to get the pro version.

    Got solid explorer and mixexplorer which are file managers.

    Then there’s some decent games like Stardew Valley you could buy.

    And when you don’t know what to spend it on you can donate money to some of the apps you bought, since some have in app options to send them donations.

    What is an opinion credit? You get, like, robux for completing surveys?

      You get Google app store credit for doing very short surveys. I’ve bought a few things with it

    I have an iPhone so it goes to my PayPal balance, which I used to pay for a lot of different online subscriptions so it just goes into the pot. It’s $2 once every couple of months so I’m not exactly getting rich off it. When I had an Android I got a lot more surveys and I used it for premium features in Play Store apps.

    I use it for some apps I’m subscribed to. I use Rocket Money for my budget tracking, so I rarely ever have to actually pay real money for it.
