Checkout using Paypal as the payment method. It should be listed with your other saved payments. The Android payment page should not show as a separate listing for Google Pay and Paypal.
Purchase must be at least $15 after tax in a single order.
Can be used for in-app purchases.
The discount will not show during checkout.
It will appear on the Paypal receipt.
Your $14.99 purchase not being charged tax? Change your Google account's primary billing address(In the Settings tab on pay.google.com) to somewhere it does, such as New Mexico.
There is no option to use Paypal to purchase Google Play credits.

Basically, Google Play Store interface is a dumpster fire of user-experience, but this does eventually work, as OP stated. Good find...Google, for the love of god, fix your UX (maybe spend less time building random projects like Stadia, only to shut them down a year later).

I added PayPal to my Google Pay [google.com], and then made an in-game purchase with PayPal as the checkout method, and the promotions applied. (You can't see that the promotion works until after the purchase by going to your PayPal activity.)
If you have multiple PayPal accounts, you can add the 2 promos to each PayPal account, add each PayPal account to the same Google Pay account, and do this promo multiple times. I tested it and it works.
I hope this helps,

Might want to consider the new season of Rick and Morty (S6) also.
Edit
If you have Google Play credit, make sure you change your payment choice to PayPal. It'll default to you available credit balance).

For those hikers/backpackers out there, you can check out in-app purchases on the "Farout" guide app (for the Appalachian trail it was formerly guthook guides). Just purchased a $14.99 trail from inside the app, paid via paypal, and was nervous because it didn't show any discount before submitting payment, but checking paypal it now shows both discounts and it charged by card $1.07. FWIW, it did say $14.99 + tax, so unsure of whether discounts would have been applied if I lived in a state where digital goods aren't taxed at all.
edit- I re-read your post. The AFTER tax needs to be over the $10 or $15 point.
