What should I do if I can’t redeem my Google Play Gift Card?

  • Updated

If you are experiencing issues redeeming your Google Play Gift Card, please follow these steps:

 

1. Verify redemption requirements:

  • Ensure that you are redeeming the gift card in the correct country. Google Play Gift Cards are region-specific and can only be redeemed on accounts matching the country and currency.
  • Confirm that you are connected to a local IP address from the designated country and are not using a VPN.

2. Submit a redemption appeal to Google:

If you meet the conditions above but still cannot redeem your code, you must dispute the issue directly with Google Play by completing their redemption form:

  • Click the "Send us details" link in the error message on the redemption page.
  • Upload your purchase receipt from Bitrefill.
  • In the "City" field, enter "Online" (as this is a digital purchase). 
  • If your Google Play account email is different from your Bitrefill receipt email, provide proof of ownership for both email addresses in the form.

 

*Important Notes:

  • You do not need to upload photos of the front and back of the card, as it is a digital code.
  • Due to Google's data privacy policy, they cannot share redemption details with us. This means that only Google Play can resolve the issue.
