One of the most annoying things in the world for an avid Android fan is to save up all your Google Opinion Rewards credit only to find that you’re only a few cents short of that game or app you’ve always wanted. Well, it looks like Google might be changing things up soon and rewarding your frugal spending – according to some lucky users, it would appear the Google Play Store is now accepting split payments i.e. letting you pay for things with both Play Store credit and your credit card. As you know, the current (or old) behaviour of the Play Store is to automatically suggest your credit card or PayPal when you don’t have enough Play Store credit in your account.
It’s not a huge deal for most, but it does make life a lot easier, especially with some apps getting more and more expensive. Presumably this is a change on Google’s end as only some users have reported seeing this new functionality, so don’t freak out if you don’t see this yet – hopefully they’ll turn this on sooner rather than later (because I really want to use my $3 credit towards Lara Croft GO).
What do you think about the fact the Play Store is now accepting split payments? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
