Does anyone know if I can give a google play giftcard to someone in a different country?

@maloki no, gift cards have to be redeemed on accounts that match the country it came from

@noiob okay, thank you. Trying to figure out how to help a friend get a subscription to something without it being me signing up with my details on it.

@maloki @noiob i think you can buy an Amazon gift card using the Amazon store page for their country (I have done this), and then they can use the Amazon gift card to buy a Google Play gift card. Or possibly you can just go to the Amazon store for their country and buy a Google Play gift card that will be for their country, but I haven't done that myself.

@rowyn @maloki if that's an option you can also PayPal them money and they can buy a play store code on PayPal's gift card page
