Yes. I just bought a $10 Google play gift card and instantly got an email about PayPal rewards.

Congrats on your first Google Play purchase! 1,000 PayPal Reward points typically appear as a new featured offer tile in the "Rewards" section of your PayPal account three (3) days after your eligible purchase but may take up to five (5) days. Once the offer tile is enabled, you will have 10 days to save the Reward points. The option to save the Reward Points will expire after 10 days.

"Make your 1st ever purchase of $5+ on Google Play."

Worked for me, thank you!

Grabbed Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic for $5.99

EDIT:

I think Google Play sells Gift Cards? Might be worth trying out to see if that works as well.

I took the risk as I have never made a $5 purchase. In July, under a similar promotion, I made a $3 purchase and got $10 back. Figure I'm playing with house money.

All that said, would PayPal show an active promotion in my account, trigger it when the purchase is made, and not give the points 3-5 days later?

We'll see!

No clue what happened with mine. Bought a $10 Chewy gift card and now under my Rewards section I have two different expired rewards and I never got the pending 1,000 reward points. Oh well 😕

Same here, we'll see what happens.It didn't say expired until hours after I made my purchase so I'll feel pretty ripped off if I don't get it!

Ended up getting a Chipotle gift card but here are some really good games if anyone wants to go that route:

Gorogoa $4.99 (mind-bending puzzle game)
Baba Is You $6.99 (amazing puzzle game)
Balatro $9.99 (puzzle roguelike, make sure you're ready to get addicted)

Be aware that as of a month ago you can now purchase gift cards on Google Play and in fact there is a place on the Google Play drop downmenu that says "gift cards" and if you click on that you are taken to a page where you can buy a ton of different gift cards right off Google Play.So I wonder if this promotion will work if you buy a $5 or more denomination gift card off Google Play using your linked PayPal? Anyone want to try this and be a guinea pig? If it doesn't work you don't really have much to lose because you still get the gift card.
I'm not seeing it. I'm on an iPhone, do you happen to have a link?

You must use an Android to see the gift card option when searching for it on Google Play.

No GC options for me as an Apple user, but I did rent a $5.99 movie and got the email with 1k reward points confirmation almost immediately. Thanks OP!
