Google Play Gift Card Payment Option

Jump to Best Response
Can I buy a game on the Stadia Store with a Google Play Gift Card? I contacted the google customer support if that works but the guy said that it don't work. Are the only supported payment options Credit Card's and PayPal? I live in Germany (don't know if that matters). I'm only confused because some people I asked said that it's possible to buy Games with Google Play Giftcard's. Can some maybe take a Screenshot of the up showing payment options in the Stadia Android App. If you live in Germany it would be even better (because I don't know the differences of payment methods in different countries). Also can you tell me what are the payment options of the Stadia Pro Subscribtion? Maybe someone already tried that? Please help!!!

@TheSecretCamper From my observation so far, it really depends on the country. I'm based in US and I'm able to use Google Play gift card. One easy way to test is that using the Stadia app on your Android phone, try to make a purchase. It will give you an option to change payment method. You should see various options to make a payment, look at the bottom if there's an option 'Redeem Code'. If yes, then you can use the gift card.

Take a look at the following image

@TheSecretCamper I am from Germany, too and I also bought two games with google play cards. But I setup my Pro Subscription with a Credit card. Here is a screenshot how it looks when you buy a game.

Hi there, @bruh221,

I'm sorry you are having an issue here. I can imagine how frustrating it must be to not have your preferred payment method go through. As far as your issue, I'd recommend checking out the Best Responses on this thread. They may be of service. However, I do want to also note, that this is an old post. If you still need assistance, you'll be more than likely get more help from the community if you create a new thread. Reach back out if you do need anything.

 

Best,

James

Hi @TheSecretCamper  :slightly_smiling_face:

I also come from Germany and can tell you that buying games with Google Play gift cards definitely works.
I just bought 2 games and it worked great.

Vielen Dank @EL337!!! Welche Zahlungsmethode hast du für das Stadia Pro Abo angegeben? Anscheinend hat der Typ vom Google Support null Ahnung gehabt:face_with_tears_of_joy: Kannst du mir vielleicht noch einen Screenshot schicken wie es aussieht wenn man versucht ein Spiel zu kaufen?:face_with_rolling_eyes:
