Google Pay Offers

Check out these new offers that you can find in your Google Pay app:

Update (May 11, 2021) – There’s a new group offer that can save you $10 at Burger King. This one is a little complicated though.

If everyone makes a payment on time, the 3 of you split $10, earning up to $5 cashback each.

Google launched a new update for the Google Pay app or G-Pay. This update added new capabilities. The app now has several new tabs such as “Pay,” which includes peer-to-peer payments as well as your transaction history using tap-to-pay; “Explore,” which will be a place where Google will offer deals and discounts; and “Insights,” which will allow you to connect your bank accounts to get a searchable overview of your finances. Google Pay Offers seem to be an interesting addition and should be now available for everyone. There are already some noteworthy deals, such as the Target offer that I wrote about yesterday. It gets even better if you sign up now since you can get a $21 bonus.

Google Pay Offers

Google Pay Offers are a great addition to the app already. These offers are similar to Amex Offers, as you need to add them to enrolled cards, and then use that card to make purchases at eligible merchants. You don’t need to actually use Google Pay for your purchases.

Google Pay uses the Rakuten Network for its offers, so it should stack with other card-linked offers that don’t use the same network. You can get cash back from Google Pay and Amex Offers for example, if they both have the same merchants in the list.

To find the offer, open the Google Pay app, and at the bottom of the Home page, tap on the offers icon on the left lower corner.
