[YMMV] Google Accidentally Deposits Money Into Google Pay Accounts, Users To Keep Funds

Google has accidentally deposited money into some users Google Pay accounts. The deposits have come through as Google Pay rewards and range from $10 – $1,000 and the message reads ‘dogfooding the Google Pay Remittance experience,’

This was supposed to be user testing using Google’s employee accounts but obviously somebody has made a mistake or two along the way. I believe Google is only allowing users to keep the smaller mistakes where the large mistakes have been clawed back.

Yeah it’s a thing, a silly term for a thing but a thing nonetheless

The best way to acquire users is with stamps.

Anybody have an elk stamp?

Nothing in my Gpay account. May be because I used only once or twice.
