Google Is Sending Pixel 11 Discount Codes — But the Inbox News Is About Play Store Credit

Google is sending eligible customers a one-time credit for the Play Store, not a Pixel 11 discount code. The payment is part of a $5 million settlement over subscriptions that renewed automatically, and qualifying users should check the email accounts linked to Google Play.

Who may qualify

The credit is available to customers who paid for at least one renewal period of a Google subscription sold through the Play Store between May 30, 2014, and Oct. 27, 2019. The settlement concerns allegations that Google failed to disclose the full terms of automatically renewing subscriptions, violating California law.

Google agreed to pay $5 million to resolve the case. The payout comes as Play Store credit rather than cash, so recipients can use it for purchases in the store, such as apps, music or movie rentals. The available information does not specify the credit amount each person will receive.

Eligible customers should look for a notice in accounts associated with the Play Store. The settlement applies to the subscription payments described in the case; the source material does not connect it to Pixel 11 promotions.
