Google is sending $5 Play credits to some users prematurely invited to Google One
The rollout of Google One was complicated. The service was announced and the app made available for download in May. Emails went out saying that the service was available to everyone in the US in the middle of August, but that still wasn't the case by the end of the month. Now, Google is trying to make amends by sending some users affected by the messy launch $5 Google Play credits.

[Deal Alert] Buy a Daydream View from the Google Store and get $25 of Google Play credit

Verizon HTC One M9 Now Comes With $100 In Google Play Credit
If you're debating where to buy a HTC One M9, Verizon Wireless is now offering anyone who picks one up $100 worth of Google Play credit. That's quite a bit of virtual money you can spend on apps, books, magazines, movies, music, and other digital content.
