Just yesterday, the folks at Android Police uncovered evidence in the most recent Google Play Store APK (application file) that had references to code associated with redeeming gift card codes, along with redesigned pages that will hold the links to be used. And now, Android Central has images of the actual Google Play gift card themselves, all nicely packaged and ready to be put on store shelves in $10 and $25 denominations.
This leaves no doubt that Google is making inroads to having the Google Play store up front and center for shoppers to see right along with iTunes and various other gift card vendors. The bigger question is, will shoppers buy in? It will be interesting to see how it all plays out, especially during the upcoming holiday season.
