These Google Pay users got more than Rs 80,000 in their account: See how

Some Google Pay users received a payment from Google thanks to a recent glitch in the mobile payment app. Many of these lucky people shared their excitement via Reddit, claiming that they received up to Rs 88,000 in their Google Pay accounts.

Some of them even wanted to check if they received the money from their friends or family, but it turned out that Google had a glitch that accidentally sent money to Google Pay users, and interestingly, some of them were using a Google Pixel phone.

The details of this glitch were shared by a tipster who received $46 in rewards to his Google Pay account, which he said was part of “testing the Google Pay Remittance experience. This is part of Google’s testing process where the company uses its employees to test unreleased features before they are released to the public.”

These workers are then paid for testing features in the form of rewards, and in this case, features that appear to be linked to Google Pay. As a result of this disruption, employees and people outside Google’s internal network received the money.

Some of these users have also received an email from Google informing them of the glitch, which is why they received the money by mistake. While it’s likely that some non-Pixel phone users have received it as well, since these awards are given to employees who would most likely use a Pixel phone, it’s likely that the majority of these accidental awards have gone to Pixel users.

Google has told these users that they would try to reverse the payment they received. But it is possible that some of these users will not follow the company and will probably choose to keep the reward for themselves. After all, some of these users have received rewards of up to $1000 (roughly Rs. 82,000), which is not a small refund, and people are claiming that their luck got them this accidental reward.
