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.

Worked for me, thank you!

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!
I got the points. Had to save them in PayPal under Rewards.

Did you get an email telling you your points were ready to save or did they just show up. My points are still 0 under rewards.

that'll take 3-5 days but you should have received an email with subject "1,000 Reward Points are on their way" and content like below.Your rewards are pendingCongrats 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.
It was my first purchase of $5+ but second purchase. Offer showed as expiring in 1 hour after purchasing. Two days later I checked, now see that the offer disappeared in Rewards section and no points pending. What happened here?

Never mind, received an email about the points arriving after checking.

Has anyone tried making a purchase that was not their first $5+ and confirmed whether it works or not?

No email yet. I was going in to check something else and found the saveable points.

I was struggling to find an app to buy so reading that this deal worked on Google Play gift cards made it easy. Just bought one and got a "1,000 Reward Points are on their way" email from PayPal a minute later.

BF had it in his account. I noticed that once he added paypal as payment in Google Play, that the offer in his Paypal account now had a countdown timer giving him 1 hour to do the deal.
I didn't know that the deal required you to do it within 1 hour from adding paypal as a payment method. Now I'm wondering if I'll even get my 1,000 pts since it says it expired and I know I didn't make my purchase within an hour.

Just do a search for Gift cards where you search for apps and it will bring a banner up to click on to get gift cards.

I got the error below while trying to purchae through paypal.
Error: Can't complete purchase. You don't have access to purchase gift cards at this time.
Anyone able to work around this? Thanks.
I'm getting an error on my other paypal account that also has the offer but I get the error message "Your transaction can't be completed that I have to use a different payment method "instrument".

Anyone know how to get around this? Why would I have the offer in my paypal account but not be able to use paypal as payment when checking out?

You can buy a $15 CVS gift card and get $10 cashback. That's like paying $5 for a $15 gift card.

Same here, but today I login and the offer show again so I lick saved offer, then it show "Congratulations! You did it!" then I see the option to redeem the $10 right away.
