gplay giftsThe concept of gift cards has been around for the longest time ever, and we have also seen the concept applied to app stores like the iTunes App Store and Google Play. However it seems that according to a report from Android Police, there is now a new way of sending Google Play Gifts in the US.

They discovered this in one of Google’s support pages. According to the support page, there is an option called Google Play credit gifts. Basically this allows users to send credits as a gift to other people via email. Like we said, gift cards have been around for a while now but prior to this, users weren’t able to send gifts via email, so this option is a new one and more convenient too.

For those who are interested, the gift options are available in denominations of $10, $15, $20, $25, $50, and $100 and can be found via the Play Store’s sidebar under “send gift”. All you’d have to do is fill in the email of the person you want to gift it to, add a personal message if that’s what you’re after, and a code will be generated for the person to claim their gift.

Do take note that this is only available in the US (for now). You will also need to use real money to send the gift, as opposed to using existing Google Play credit. So for example if you have been given a $50 Google Play credit, you can split it by sending $25 to a friend, you will need to spend that $25 separately. For more info, head on over to Google’s website.
