So bear with me.
We have Google Opinion Awards https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.paidtasks
To earn play store credit for answering surveys.... Say we want that money as cash and a developer created an app with in-app purchases for certain amounts, say I wana pay in $1 of rewards and he puts $0.80 into my PayPal.
Could this work?
Would Google ban it? They're still getting their cut obviously?
Just a falling asleep thought like I get a lot but never write down.
Thanks for reading and PM me if you move it please brother mod.
Also tell me if the idea sucks pants :thumbup::beer:
 
"suck pants?" LMAO!!!!:p

Yes people do, see below ;):p

Anyhow, funky, I would definitely agree with hiredgun, this wouldn't be allowed, there is a reason why Google only gives you credits, because they want to keep it in house, so that you are spending that money on something by/from Google.

They don't want that money leaving the Google sphere. :)

Let's say it's a grey area that google wouldn't allow lol.
Could it still work if the actual app came from Amazon.. Would the in app purchases to Google still work?

I have a feeling I've just asked a very stupid question but hey ho lol :D

Are you suggesting that the application would give Google credits to the Developer and pay out the user in Paypal, through an Amazon app?

I mean it could totally work. The transferring of currency wouldn't be devalued just because a different app market was used.

It would actually be really easy to make this considering Google Wallet is linked with your Google Credits and you can send money through Email using it.
