In the United States only, with hopefully more countries to come, Android users can send Play credit gifts to others via email.
This is a new feature to Google Play and starts today. This gives all Android users the ability to send Google Play credit to someone via email in the form a gift. One can find the option on the sidebar of the Play Store Store where it reads “send gift.” Right now, Android users have the option to send either $10, $15, $20, $25, $50, or $100. Users are not limited to the amount of credits they can send.
Once you select the amount, you'll have to supply an email address and include a message to send to the receiver. Unfortunately, users can't pay with their Play Store balance and must select a valid credit/debit card on their Google account. You'll also have the option to pay with Google Wallet. Google Play gifts is a great enhancement to Google Play and arrived in the neck of time, hopefully we'll see more countries added in the weeks ahead.
