Basically, Google screwed me out of $60 a few days ago. I wanted the brand new wireless charger they're selling. Bought $60 worth of Play Store gift cards, redeemed them, put the charger in my cart. Until... surprise surprise... can't use Play Store credit to buy any sort of hardware.
This isn't indicated anywhere on the cards or the product page. It IS however in the terms of service (which I eventually found out), but who actually reads through all 10 pages of that before buying? The product page should clearly say "PLAY STORE CREDIT CAN'T BE APPILED TO THIS ITEM".
This is a recurring problem for them. I read stories of people buying $300 of Play Store credit, only to find this out and lose their money. And Google gets to keep all that money. It's a complete racket they have going on here.
In any case, f*** Google... I want my money back. And why can't I use Play Store credit to buy something in the Play Store!!!
