Make streaming cheaper? That’s exactly what’s possible right now: Aldi is offering Google Play cards at a special price for a limited time. Those who pay for subscriptions like Netflix, Spotify, or YouTube Premium through the Play Store can save significantly.

Between September 29 and October 5, Aldi Nord, and from October 6 to 12, Aldi Süd is offering Google Play gift cards worth 15, 25, and 50 euros with a ten percent discount. Instead of paying the full amount, a 50-euro card costs only 45 euros. However, the full voucher value is credited to the Google Play account.

How It Works

The credit from the cards can be used for all purchases in the Google Play Store–including apps, in-app purchases, and subscriptions. Redeeming is simple: scratch off the code on the card, enter it in the Play Store app, and the credit is added to your account.

For Disney+, new subscriptions can no longer be paid through Google Play. However, if you have an ongoing subscription billed through Google Play, you can continue using this payment method. Netflix, on the other hand, has not accepted payments through Google Play since 2018–whether for new or existing subscriptions.

Other services are more straightforward. Spotify, Paramount+, and YouTube Premium can still be paid regularly through Google Play. If you have these subscriptions through the Play Store, you can use the gift cards directly to reduce your monthly costs.

Is the Deal Worth It?

For those who regularly need credit for apps or streaming services, the discount is particularly worthwhile. During the promotional period, you pay ten percent less but still receive the full amount as credit. The advantage: you secure the credit at a lower price before spending it on ongoing subscriptions. This is especially beneficial for users with long-term subscriptions. With the credit, you pay for the upcoming months in advance–and save money on each subscription deduction.
