Google has unveiled its new rewards program, Google Play Points, for everyone that uses the Google Play. Here, you get to earn points on everything you buy with the platform. These include in-app items, movies, books, subscriptions and more.
Play Points can also be accumulated by downloading free featured apps or games. Google says that it will hold weekly events where users will be able to boost their earnings. Your points are then calculated by multiplying the item’s price by the base earn rate for your level.
The number of points you’ll earn is rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. If you have an eligible promotional earn rate, it will automatically be applied at checkout.
