How to redeem a Google Play code from another country

Google Play codes are region locked, meaning you won’t be able to redeem one if you received it from someone who isn’t in your country. Some users reported that they could redeem the codes but could not purchase anything with them.

One possible way to solve this problem is to use a virtual private network (VPN) service. This service allows you to mask your IP address and “trick” Google Play into working as if you were in a different country. For example, if you want to redeem a US code, you must choose that region when setting up your VPN location. You will find many VPN services on the Internet. For most of them, you will need to purchase a subscription.

Once you set up the VPN location, you will need to clear Google Play cache and reset it, and you should now be able to redeem and use your code.

If you haven’t used a VPN yet, this may seem a little complicated. In the end, it may be more expensive to purchase a VPN subscription than simply giving up the Google Play code.
