Local Guides Reward Code is Expired Already

Well I was offered a reward for the first time ever about a couple of weeks ago, but it seems the code to redeem it was only valid for a few days. Six days to be specific. I am busy so I didn’t even look at the email for a week; It’s from Google, it’s not urgent by definition. I didn’t see the fine print but it was already expired by that point, but I didn’t discover that until today.

Now this isn’t particularly Important to me but I should point out that offering a reward is great and all but sending out a redemption code that expires in a few days guarantees that a lot of people won’t be able to redeem it. I don’t feel appreciated I feel given the run-around. It would have been better to not offer it at all.

Adding with Chris,

Even my code is also expired. Please advise.

Just received a local guides discount code - tried to redeem it 8 hours later snd it says that it is expired.

The email claims the code is good until Dec 2022 so looks like Google is issuing expired codes as rewards.

Exactly the same! :frowning_face:

£4 credit reward issued on 5th Nov. Terms state it “must be added to a Google Payments account by November 21, 2022. Once added, credit must be used on Google Play by December 5, 2022 at 11:59 PM PST.

Attempted to redeem it less than 24 hrs later on 6th November but get “The code you entered has expired.” message.

Ooh me too! Must have been the same reward that many of us received but couldn’t use. Thanks for nothing Google!

Having the same problem, this morning (7-Nov). Received the credit on 5-Nov, so I should have until 5-Dec to redeem it but I am being told it has already expired.

Same here. Not sure why they are sending expired redeem codes.

Local guide rewards got expired, it was for a short period of time…

Same thing here,

All my Rewards mail went to SPAM and so didn’t even get notified.
