If you buy the gift cards at Target and pay for it using the Target Red credit card, you save 5% at any time. Also, Target will normally put some gift cards on sale before/around the holidays.
Good tip

Ebay has good sales all the time. Like spend 75 save 15. That's storewide. Sometimes it has sales just for these types of cards.
And to get around waiting for the cards in the mail (that was an issue of mine) shoot the seller a message asking to send the code to u via email. I've done it several times for PlayStation store credits/memberships

Just be careful, as Target likes to illegally charge sales tax on third-party gift cards.
Lol. Is this a real article? Umm, everywhere would be the answer.
I know this site has gone to ****

This weekend Kroger is offering 4X fuel rewards for Google Play gift cards, and others. At least in the Nashville, TN division. That covers parts of TN, AL and KY. I don't know about the other divisions.

How about in Denmark?
But what about Pokémon Go cards?

So has anyone gifted play credit through the play store? I don't imagine one could transfer part of their own google play credit balance to someone else's google play credit account? It has to be gifted through purchasing via a credit card, right?
These are impossible to find /s

Lol I get AC wants to be helpful some of these help articles are actually great but if someone couldn't figure this out....
Am I the only one that has never bought anything on Google Play?
No, not the only one. You join Tim Cook, my great grandmother, and this guy-> https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/93/97/1f/93971f18f1d3dba475e67...
Do u use the Google rewards app? Probably not bc if u did , u would have free credit to use on the play store.

Slightly off topic, but that is a great app! I got up to near $40 before I used some. They don't come everyday and usually aren't much credit at a time, but they add up quick.
I disagree that they're harder to find than apple's card. They're everywhere, and in a whole lot more places, than this article suggest. I've found them in places, that only had a population of 500<, and one store, with one road, that circles the whole town!
I think they threw that statement in there as a way to justify penning this article.
If you can't find these cards, Lord help you. They're literally in every checkout line in every store. I bet they have them in petsmart

Yup
I've seen these cards at Lowes and The Homedepot here in the US too :)
Meanwhile in Australia you can buy them literally everywhere
Switzerland ?
