Overview
- Android users can now buy and send digital cards from dozens of brands, including Disney, Starbucks, Adidas, AMC, Target, Lego, and Ulta.
- The new Gift Cards section appears in the Play Store app under your profile or by searching “gift cards,” with desktop access not fully available.
- Most deliveries arrive within an hour and can take up to 24 hours, with recipients getting a link or code via email or SMS.
- Daily purchase caps apply by country (about $250 in the U.S., £250 in the U.K., roughly MXN 5,000 in Mexico), many retailers offer roughly $15–$100 per card, and cross‑border redemption is blocked.
- Google bars resale, business use, buying other gift cards, and payment with Play balance or Play Points, and multiple reports point to Blackhawk Network as the rollout partner.
