While browsing the Google Play store on my mobile, I got a notification about this offer. I have linked the terms and conditions, but the key terms are:

• Offer excludes users who have been part of Google Play Games beta on PC before 2 October 11.59 p.m. local time.
• After the successful installation of Google Play Games on PC beta and first in-app purchase, users will receive a push notification within 10 days of purchase on their mobile device where they must confirm adding the 500 Points to their account.
• Users will have until 10 November 2022 at 11.59 p.m. local time to confirm.
• Once deposited, the 500 Points will be valid for one year from issuance, unless otherwise specified by Google.

I was able to stack this deal with both [PC] $6 off First Purchase on Select Games @ Google Play Games (PC Beta Install & Signup Required) and Get a $10 Reward When ‌You Spend Your First $5+ ‌on Google Play @ PayPal by doing the following:

1. Downloaded Botworld Adventure through the Google Play Games PC Beta app (though any game with an IAP over $11 will do)
2. Selected a $12 gem pack (honestly don't know what I bought, the actual item purchased is irrelevant)
3. $12 was discounted to $6 due to $6 discount offer mentioned earlier
4. Completed $6 purchase using Paypal (text appeared before the purchase was complete indicating that the purchase was valid for the $10 reward)

TL;DR my $12 purchase was discounted to $6 and will get me 500 Google Play Points (worth $5 of Google Play credit at minimum) and $10 of Paypal credit.

  I thought Google Play PC would let me play non-IAP android games on PC, I was sorely mistaken - it seems to only support games with IAP :(

    Definitely agree. I installed Play Games hoping to be able to play some games I was already playing on my phone, but found that the number of games that were available for play on PC to be very limited.

  Has anyone received the 500 points? I bought 3 days ago and still haven't gotten a push notification.

      Hey there, did you get your 500 points?

        Heya, unfortunately no, I haven't seen any prompt nor have my points jumped up. I also don't see it in any offer redemption areas.

        I still turned a profit on this thanks to the PayPal deal stacking, but I'm not sure what happened to this offer.

          @Jonzay: I see. I guess I can only contact Google support in that case. Thanks for sharing the deal, hope the points appear even if late.

            @oblueknighto: Had the same issue and contacted Google support, that was the most frustrating experience I had in a while. Went back and forth daily for 5 days, with them claiming I did not qualify for x reason (different reason everyday), had to respond with the justification on a daily basis. The most infuriating reason was that they claimed they checked my account and I did not enroll to Google Play point program, this should be the easiest thing for them to check accurately. Then another 10 days of radio silence with an automatic generic response whenever I ask for an update, and then suddenly there is 500 points in my account this morning.
            Overall not worth the effort, and just persisted till the end just because I did not want the Google support to think they can get away with it by just sending random reason for not qualifying for the offer (and also because I did not want to surrender my ozbargain membership).

              @mdkjnk: Haha 😆 I had a similar experience. I lodged 3 tickets within the span of 2 weeks. Got my points today.
              Google Support is horrible. I can't believe they took so long over just 500 play points.
