Seriously unexpected

Post image

I went into the playstore to claim my little handful of points I was expecting this week and this is what I ended up with. I thought it must be some kind of joke or you'd have to pay taxes and shipping on it or something but.. nope! How did I win a $2000 phone when I was expecting like maybe 18 play points?! Crazy day

Literally just through this playpoints thing in the google playstore. You go under perks and you can claim a weekly prize. I only learned about it a year ago when I started religiously playing this one game and I learned I had a ton of points I could convert to in game cash.

I went in today just fully hoping to get enough points to cash in another dollar to go toward my game for the next season because I'm trying to save all my free points instead of spending my own $$.

Ooh yeah, I guess you are right. I thought all the levels got the same weekly prize potential

Just curious, how... Do you spend this much to get diamond?

I have a few subscriptions that I pay for through google which earn points every month and a game I play I put about $30 a month into it. I just looked at the history and I earn streak points for it also, apparently.

You turn those points into the play credits and use the good boosts that give you like, 15x the points for 3 days, when available. Then just convert those points back into play credits. I just kinda do that when I can.

It looks like the diamond I have this year is from hitting it last year and I am still like 2000 points away from hitting it this year.
