Each referral code is single-use and cannot be applied during peak times like Black Friday. The total reward is capped at $500, paid in Google Store credit after the referred purchase surpasses the return period of 15 days.
The offer is expected to conclude on June 30, 2025. However, at the time of writing, clicking the "Refer your friends" option led to a 404 error page. It was briefly visible on the U.S. Google Store and spotted by 9to5Google.
