Weekly Rewards are the easiest way to feel the benefits of Google Play Points.
In this guide, we'll go over the steps to claim them, as well as the "max points" (caps) you can win for each rank.
π What You'll Learn
- Weekly Rewards are a free perk available every week for Silver rank and above.
- A simple 3-step guide to claiming them (they are not added automatically).
- The maximum possible points (caps) for Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.
- The reset day and why you can't roll them over.
π What is a Weekly Reward?
Weekly Rewards are completely free weekly perks given to Google Play Points members.
The biggest appeal is that "you are guaranteed to get points (or prizes) just by claiming them, even if you haven't spent a single cent that week."
β οΈ Bronze Rank is "Not Eligible"
This perk is for those who are Silver rank or higher (Requires 150 points to unlock). Unfortunately, you won't see Weekly Rewards at all while you are at the starting "Bronze" status.
π How to Claim (3 Easy Steps)
Weekly Rewards are not automatically added like bank interest. You have to manually claim them from the Play Store every week.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Play Points".
- Tap the "Perks" tab, then tap the displayed reward to open (or spin) it.
β Don't Forget Your Weekly Tap
Tapping it triggers a draw animation, and points are added randomly. It takes just 15 seconds.
π Max Points (Cap) by Rank
The number of points you get from Weekly Rewards is random, but the higher your rank, the higher your "max possible points" (cap) skyrockets. Remember the US rank point thresholds: Silver unlocks at 150pt (1.1x multiplier), Gold at 600pt (1.2x multiplier), Platinum at 3,000pt (1.4x multiplier), and Diamond at 10,000pt (1.4x multiplier).
| Rank | Weekly Perk | Max Points (Estimate) |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Not Eligible | - |
| Silver | Silver Weekly Reward | Up to 100 Points |
| Gold | Gold Weekly Reward | Up to 200 Points |
| Platinum | Platinum Weekly Reward | Up to 500 Points |
| Diamond | Diamond Weekly Reward | Up to 1,000 Points |
* The max values above are based on Google's latest data. You are not guaranteed the max amount every week; it is determined by a random draw.
π Reset Timing and the "No Rollover" Rule
Weekly Rewards update to a new perk every Friday.
β οΈ You Can't Hoard Them to Pull All at Once
You cannot say, "I'm too lazy to pull it this week, I'll pull twice next week."
Rewards not claimed by Thursday will be completely wiped out (overwritten) upon Friday's reset. Since you completely lose out on the week you skipped, make sure to claim it every week.
β Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Can I really win points without spending any money?
A. Yes, you can. As long as you are Silver rank or above, you can pull your reward every week even if you haven't spent a single cent. It's the only chance to boost your point balance without spending any money.
Q. What time does it reset on Friday?
A. While it varies by country and time zone, new rewards typically roll out around Friday morning to noon. The safest bet is to claim yours by Thursday night.
Q. I don't see the "Weekly Reward" button in the Perks tab.
A. There are 3 possible reasons:
- You are still Bronze rank (you need to rank up to Silver).
- You already claimed this week's reward (wait until Friday's reset).
- Network error (restart the app or check back later).
