This was SUPER confusing, but I did get it to work. You basically have to add both those offers via PayPal, go to the Google Play Store, buy something and PAY USING THE LINKED PAYPAL ACCOUNT, just go on blind-faith that it will work (not reflected anywhere during the checkout process), and then when you get a receipt you'll see that you paid whatever the price of the thing was minus $15 and then it automatically withdraws from some other account (didn't use my preferred one).

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).

You can ask refund via "google play purchase history" then select "Bought by mistake" They refunded in 1 min.

Per the terms, the purchase must be made on the website. However, I did an in-app purchase and it worked.

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,
Tofu Vic

Offer had disappeared from Deals page but was still saved to my Wallet. I just went to double-check one last time before hitting "Buy," and lo and behold it was now gone from my Wallet. Good thing I checked.

I also took a leap of faith and ordered IAP subscription. Went to my Paypal receipt and saw $15 was subtracted from $40.

Can confirm it seems dead. Bought "The Wind Rises" (Miyazaki film) HD for 16.99 before tax, was charged the full amount according to PayPal. I followed the instructions, ordered through Chrome on my PC, but it failed to work. I had already spent my Google Play Credits earlier on a different movie so that wasn't the problem. Got the refund through Google almost instantly, so no harm done. Ah well, I knew I was coming in late in the game and this might happen. Happy for everyone who got it to work though, I've snagged deals through SD and watched others miss them so no biggie.

After waiting a bit, I finally got an email from PayPal telling me that the offer was ready to be used. So it took 20 minutes or so to get the email. Makes me wonder if we aren't waiting long enough from the time of "saving" the coupon to the point of purchase. I am going to try it again and see if it works. Earlier it didn't and I got charged the full $20. But Google refunded me.

How to buy gift card? Are you trolling?

Update. After reading the email, I'm confused. Does this mean it doesn't work on this purchase ? Only deducts from a future one?

"You can use this offer at the Google Play website. All you need to do is pay with PayPal at checkout and the reward will automatically be applied to your next eligible purchase."

Was the downvote for the game, or the badly formatted post?

Almost identical situation for me, only I tried to get My Neighbor Totoro.
I confirmed I had both offers in my Paypal account minutes before purchase, but they didn't get applied and now the offers aren't there anymore.
