Gift cards for digital storefronts have been around some time, but Google first unveiled them for the Play Store back in 2012, just a little over two years ago. Since then, they've been rolled out to a fair number of countries across the world, and we're curious: have you ever actually bought one?

I, myself, have not. In the US, there's less need for them because credit and debit cards are very common, but in other locales, this may not be the case. Additionally, underage persons looking to buy content on the Play Store may have no option besides gift cards, and that demographic probably is a very important one in the overall gift card economy.

Anyway, have you bought a Play Store gift card? How many? Why? Elaborate in the comments section, below.
