Do you have a Google Play balance in your Google Play account and want to know How to transfer your Google Play Credit to your Bank account, PayPal, or to use at any other place like Amazon?
Sometimes, people accidentally redeem their Google Play Gift card into their Google Play account, and then they want to send the money back to a Gift card.
They can only use it to make a purchase of any app, game, or In-app/In-game feature. Right? No. They can get money back into their account.
You can't directly transfer it to a Bank account, even Google's official forum page also says it isn't possible.
All the articles on the web are either pure scams or not working anymore.
You can convert it to Real cash, Bank accounts or wallets like PayPal using 4 indirect ways:
- Google Play Family Library method - Sell Google Play purchases to your family or friend
- Refund the Google Play Gift balance to a Gift card
- Sell Google Play card on Gameflip
- Convert Google account to Child account, so Transfer balance button will appear
We have shared this detailed guide which you'll definitely find useful. So, let's get started with it!
How to transfer your Google Play balance?
There are many ways to convert your Google Play balance to a bank account, PayPal, or any other wallet.
Before getting started with the tutorial, I'm requesting you to read the entire article and each step carefully!
Method 1 - Using Google Play Family Library - Sell Google Play purchases to your family or friend
Before getting started with the tutorial, I wanted to tell you that this method works very well.
As per our conclusion, it is the best method to get some cash Easily & Instantly.
You'll need to put in some effort by yourself to make it possible. The steps are simple!
The plan is like you've to find someone who wants to buy something like an App, Game purchase, Book, or any other Google purchase subscription from the Google Play store.
Then share the Google product purchased using the Google Play balance you wanted to convert their Google Play balance.
Step 1: Get someone who looking to buy Google products
First, You need to convince them to buy any of the Google products from the below list:
- YouTube Premium
- YouTube TV
- YT Music
- Google One subscription for data storage
- Google Play pass
- Google Play family library(Apps & Games, Books, rented or purchased Movies, and TV Shows)
You & your friend will be using the same Google products with a single subscription. Just you'll be sharing those with him.
Step 2: Get a Google Play Family Library account created
You'll need the Google Play Family Library created with your Gmail account that you're using for your Google Play account.
Create Family Library
- Open your Android device and ask Google Assistant "Hey google, create my family"
- then Family Library page will open
- Here, you can add a person or create a family group
After that, we'll create a signup for the family Library from Google Play
- Navigate to your profile
-
Select the Family option from the settings
-
then select Sign up for Family Library
- Follow all the instructions which it will tell you to do.
Then, we'll be going to add your friend or family member(who agreed to purchase a game or subscription) to your Google Play Family Library.
Step 3: Add the Friend to the Google Play Family Library
Now, we'll share the Google Play purchase with your friend, by inviting or adding him to the Google Play family.
I. To do that follow this path - Google Play Store> Profile > Settings > Family > Manage family members
II. Then Select Invite family members option and type his/her name to send the Invitation link
Ask your friend to check Emails. Once, he accepts the link, his name will show under the Family as shown in the above screenshot.
Now, you have to purchase something for him/her using Google Play credit and then share the purchase with him.
Note: Before making any purchase please make sure that the purchased item is eligible to be added to the Family Library.
In return, you can request the money you've spent on that purchase.
This is a very simple but working technique. The only thing is that he/she should co-operate with you on this.
Tips to keep personal purchases private within your account:
After sharing the Google purchase with your friend, you need to take care of some things like you're only sharing those purchases for which you're getting paid.
To change the sharing preference,
- Select Manage Parental controls
- There will be two different options - Add items Automatically when purchased and Don't add automatically, I'll do it myself
- Select the second option and then we can add it manually from the App page or game page
Alternatively,
- You can follow the path, Google Play store > Profile > Library > Family library > Navigate to the Tab(E.g. Apps or Books) > Gear Icon on the top right
- Select Apps & Games or Books
- Choose a preference - Add items Automatically when purchased or Don't add automatically, I'll do it myself
As you'll add new purchases to your account it will get added to your family member also if 1st option is selected.
Otherwise, you'll need to manually add purchases. In the same way, you can add Books, Movies, Games, etc.
We've explained it within a few easy steps. For more details, read this.
Method 2: Using the Google Play Store support method
If you don't want to try the previous method as it takes too long to convert, you can raise a support ticket to redeem your Google Play gift card to Amazon.
Before getting started change your age on your Google account to 14 years. So, Google will consider you as a Child/Minor account.

Once you get your Google gift card money into a bank account, you can use it on Amazon or add Money to your Amazon pay balance.
The success rate of this method is very low; very few people have got their money back into their Bank account. So, provide the Legit reason.
