Nope, don't the $5 discount - probably because I'm in the UK.
I agree, that is a dreadful interface; anyone would think they weren't interested in selling books. |

I buy books from them and am on the emailing list but the only specials they ever email to me are for movies, music or apps - never for books.
I agree it is not a good store to browse for books. You can search for something (such as "police procedurals" and get a bunch of books to look through, but it doesn't give you any way to sort them, such as by price, author, or whatever. Usually I shop there after I discover a new author or series via the library but the library does not have the whole series, so I go shopping specifically for the missing book(s). Sometimes I will click on the "books" category to see what's currently on sale. |

This is amazing to me, for the company whose name is synonymous with Internet search engine. But not all tech companies which have a great capability in one area have it in another. Take, for example Microsoft. It gave us the state of the art office suite; but it also gave us Bing. |

The problem for them is search isn't always the answer, especially for any kind of shopping. A lot of times people want to browse to find something interesting. |

One of the frustrating things for me with Google Books (aside from the search functionality) is that you cannot combine credits with other forms of payment. So, I have the $5 off promotion plus $5 of credits, but I cannot buy the book I want because it's $10.33 with tax. Google won't allow you to just pay the extra $0.33, but instead you cannot use any of your credits and must pay the full $5.33 difference.
I'm holding out in hopes they reward us with one more $1 credit before the end of the year. ![]() |

Can't guarantee that it will work the same in the UK tho... But I'm pleased with Google, aside from this bonus, as a Project Fi customer, they also gave me a $10 credit over the holidays. All going to books! Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk |

I just got a second $5 Credit on any Book Over $5 offer from Google Play. This one expires a day earlier than the first one - 3/31 vs 4/1. I redeemed the first offer but haven't used it yet. Both offers show up in my account under Rewards.
This new offer showed up in the banner (item 4 of 7) at the top of the "Entertainment" page, aka the "Movies, Music, Books" page in the Play Store app. These offers are usually targeted to specific accounts, so YMMV. |
