Is Google Pay $21 Reward or Promotion a Scam?
Is Google Pay $21 Reward or Promotion a Scam?

The Google Pay $21 reward is not a scam. Google is upsizing some rewards in the new Google Pay to $21 through the new year. Until December 31, select rewards in the new Google Pay app are being upgraded. The direct referrals have jumped from just $5 to $21 any time you bring a new user to the app.

The reward gives both the referrer and the recipient $21 when the new user spends at least $10 using Google Pay.

Users who open the Google Pay app should immediately see the banner at the top for the new offer. In the U.S., spending $50 or more at Target with Google Pay will reward you with $21 cashback within the app. It's a one-time-only offer that you must activate within the app by December 31st. Following activation, you then have 45 days to use-it-or-lose-it.
