- You must have Android Pay installed on your Nexus to receive your e-gift card.
Our Verdict
Free money! There are so many stores that accept NFC payments, including many drugstores and supermarkets, which makes it easy to take advantage of this offer. Hopefully, they won’t actually limit the number of people eligible for the offer, as per the fine print, and everyone will be able to get this one.
Gosh, we have to start carrying two phones to be able to take advantage of all the payment offers on Android and iPhone.

Just received the gc today after a transaction from wednesday. Very easy
^^ nice and quick*
Received the bb e-gift card a few minutes ago, that was in cw and quick.
Did this today, I’ll update if e-gift card shows up in android pay.
I’ll also note that I used an amex card with the $20 credit for $199+ purchase at best buy and received the ‘amex offer used’ email immediately.
Wonder if transactions before today automatically qualify you for the card.
