Motorola Offers $50 Google Play Gift Cards With Purchase of New Phone is a post from: Droid Life

To the men and women in the building who are feeling extra pressure today to do something special for that certain someone, we have something for you. It’s Valentine’s Day after all, and for many, that means another year of stress over making this the ultimate day of love, in fear of not meeting lofty relationship expectations. It’s at times a no-win situation, or better put, a day for games that potential significant others play with each other to see how well you know their needs or if you may be the one. Did you buy the right flowers? Should you have delivered them to their office or not? Dark or milk chocolate? Is your reservation at the right restaurant? Rosé or Brut with dinner? Are those heart-filled boxers going to look flattering tonight? Do I love this person or was I forced into saying so because it’s Valentine’s Day? Ahh, the stress.

Let’s relieve some of that, right now. Or at least take your mind off of it for a second and reward you with something that you can spoil yourself with when the day comes to a close. We have a handful (5) of Google Play gift cards to give away to five heart-shaped DL readers.

Struggling to find Google Play gift cards? Yeah, me too. I know they are supposed to be available at Target and Gamestop, but I have yet to see one in the wild here in Oregon. Maybe I’m just not looking hard enough. Thankfully, I no longer have to look if I don’t want to, because Google is allowing you to buy Google Play credit directly from the Play store. Problem half-solved! Unfortunately, until they allow me to buy Google credit and hand it to another user, this is sort of a meaningless move.

If you are interested in loading up a child or friend’s account, know that you can buy anywhere from $5 to $50 worth of Play store credit.
