Google is now informing Malaysian users that they will be discontinuing the Google Play rewards card and Google Play prepaid balance offerings for Malaysian users, effective June 15, 2025. Existing users who have rewards cards and prepaid balances must use up their balances before January 31, 2026. After January 31, 2026, the balances will expire and cannot be used.
Google did not provide a reason for the discontinuation of this feature. It is likely because there are various other payment methods available through Google Play today.
For Google Play users, you can continue to use alternative payment methods from now on, including using credit cards, debit cards, and even digital wallets for spending on the Google Play Store.
