You are supposed to get a promotional code to eat to the store’s website, with restrictions like “You can use points to redeem this offer up to 5 times.” This Play Points redemption offer will be available until June 30th.
Another example is getting $5 off (minimum $35) off grocery delivery via Instacart or $10 off a DoorDash order.
These offers are starting to roll out to users today but are not widely available yet. Visit the Play Points page from the Account menu in the Play Store and go to the “Use” tab to see if they are available to you.
