The Offer
- Google Pay is offering $10 back when you spend $10 at small businesses. Deal is only available for Pixel owners
The Fine Print
- Not valid at the top 200 retailers, having more than 500 employees, such as fast-food restaurant chains, gas stations or large grocery stores
- Valid through July 4, 2021
- Once you receive the bonus, you must tap the gift box in Google Pay to reveal and claim your cashback. Unclaimed gift boxes are subject to expiry 45 days after receipt
Our Verdict
Shame that this isn’t available to all Google Pay users as it’s basically a free $10. Seems like Google Pay are just excluding the top 200 retailers so should be easy to find somewhere to do this. Remember to click on the gift box to get your reward.
Hat tip to FM
Like other comments below, the Slide app worked for me. No clue if referral link or TopCashBack tracked. Bought $15 DoorDash eGC on Slide (got $0.60 or 4% Slide cash back), paid with Google Pay using my CSP card that is linked to my GPay account. About 5 minutes after transaction completed, got notified from GPay app of the $10. Was able to immediately transfer out the $10 to my linked checking acct., unlike other GPay promos with vendors like Lyft where having to wait 30 days.
For some reason, none of my local transactions have triggered. Restaurants, groceries, etc… and none of them were chains…
I think google have their own list of “small business” where this offer works.
Using my phone to pay at a small local pizzeria (using Square) did not trigger. I tried a local grocery store with a POS terminal and instantly got notification of the 10$ award being available. FYI.
Doordash pickup order triggered the offer instantly.
Finally $10 triggered on the app and it was pretty much instantaneous. My purchase of $20 at Modern Market (small regional chain) triggered the bonus for me. To make this deal a little sweeter I paid with Cash app card where I had 5% BTC boost activated. I was not sure if cash app boost would trigger using Google Pay but it did.
Prior purchases that didn’t trigger bonus for me when paying with Google Pay:
Couple local restaurants
DART ticket purchase on the app
Under $1 purchase at Target
Starbucks balance reload of $10
Where can I find the list of small business? Maybe reference to AmEx small business offer?
FYI, I read the terms and conditions of this offer, more specifically Google Pay ‘rewards’ terms. The short of it is, when you enroll a card, you are giving Google and any 3rd party of their choice the right to view your full credit card transaction history of any card you enroll.
Pick a program and you agree to be watched.
You think they will let me use my new Google Pixel I just flashed with GrapheneOS for this deal 😉
Any suggestions on how to earn this would be much appreciated!
Surprised IKEA is a small business.
I paid $1 at Ikea but didn’t trigger the offer.
