T-Mobile and Google join forces (again) on a sweet new freebie for select customers
Between a huge data breach and an objectively declining customer service, it's safe to say 2021 has been a pretty rough year for T-Mobile from a number of key standpoints. But the "Un-carrier" also impressively managed to consolidate its early lead over arch-rivals Verizon and AT&T in the 5G network field, which undoubtedly contributed to steadily rising subscriber figures.
Of course, all the great perks, freebies, and unbeatable discounts Magenta faithfuls can routinely qualify for may have had something to do with the growing numbers as well, and unsurprisingly, the second-largest wireless service provider stateside is looking to end the year on a high note in that department.
Hot on the heels of... countless other holiday deals for new and existing customers, a slightly lower-profile promotion has reportedly arrived earlier this week with absolutely no fanfare or advance notice, hooking up Google One subscribers with a complimentary $10 Google Play credit.
As you can imagine, there are no strings attached to this small but thoughtful and unexpected Christmas gift, although unsurprisingly, you will need to meet one special condition to qualify.
In case you've already forgotten about it, T-Mobile kicked off an exclusive offer for its customers just a little over two months ago, joining forces with Google on a 500GB cloud storage plan priced at a measly $5 a month.
Those who activated said Google One plan (or the non-exclusive $10 for 2TB option) through T-Mo should now be eligible for the aforementioned free Play Store credit, usable towards Android games, apps, books, movies, music, and so on until July 1, 2022.
Unfortunately, it's not entirely clear if everyone can partake in this sweet last-minute holiday promo, but if you meet the above description and have yet to receive an email with a redemption link in it, it certainly can't hurt to manually check your Google One benefits webpage... or simply show a little more patience.
At least in theory, the deal should last until April 1, 2022 (no joke), which gives T-Mobile plenty of time to gradually spread the love across the nation.
