Use Google Opinion Rewards
Google Opinion Rewards pays you with Play Store credit to share your opinion. Once you take a survey, you are paid a small amount of money. Over a period of time, you can accumulate enough Play Store credit to buy a paid app. Once you download the Google Opinion Rewards app, you are given one survey a week. Questions on the survey may be based on your recent travel history. Other than that, Google asks for your opinion on different brand logos and other marketing-related topics. The individual payout for each survey may not be massive, but over a period of time, you can buy your favourite paid apps with the saved amount.
Use Google Play Points
Signing up for Google Play Points is another way to earn Play Store rewards. This program gives you a certain number of points for every in-app purchase that is billed through Google Play. You can also earn rewards for buying apps, movies, books, and other items on the Google Play Store. These points can be redeemed for Play Store credit. Once you’ve accumulated enough credit, you can buy a paid app for free.
Use Google Play Offers
You may have seen the Offers tab in the Play Store app. If you haven’t gone through these offers yet, you are missing out on a lot of amazing deals. On certain occasions, you can find paid apps and games being offered for free. Play Store offers work pretty well in conjunction with Play Store credits. Accumulating enough credits through Opinion Rewards and Play Points can take a lot of time. Google Play Offers make sure that you don’t have to save the full amount to make the purchase.
Add the app to your wishlist
Like Amazon, Google Play Store also has the option to add items to your wishlist. You can share your wishlist across your social media handles and hope that a patron fulfils it. To add an item to your wishlist, go to its page on Google Play Store, tap the ellipses at the top right corner of the screen, and select ‘Add to wishlist’.
