How To: Google Play Credits to Cash thanks to Ecency

**LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER** Some time ago I downloaded the Google Play Rewars app - the one which rewards you with few cents for answering quick and easy surveys here and there - and started accumulating some balance. During the following years most of this balance expired and I spent only a fraction of it on "premium" app I didn't really need, just to avoid losing that money for nothing. I searched carefully over the web many times, looking for a way to use this balance for something more useful: the best would have been being able to transfer it somewhere (for ex., PayPal... even if I don't like it) or use it to buy NFT or crypto-tokens in general. That would be great, right? Buying some cards on #Splinterlands or some packs on #GodsUnchained would have been the top for me, as I would have been able to increase my collection just for free! https://ecency.com/trending/splinterlands https://ecency.com/trending/godsunchained *Ok, not really for "free", as I'm selling personal information to Google, but I can choose what surveys I feel confortable answering and which I don't, so, in the end, at least for me is basically free as I didn't waste money or time on it.* **THE HARSH REALITY** Unfortunately I couldn't find anywhere a way to realize this idea: Splinterlands disabled on its mobile app the ability to purchase credits through the play store; Exchanges don't allow to buy cryptos with Google Play balance; Cryptocurrency in general doesn't seem to be supported in any way by the Play Store; Apps promising to convert your balance into cash look shady and have plenty of bad reviews, so they don't look trustworthy. I don't know if in other countries things are different (I'm from Italy). I checked for months and I was losing my hopes, as nothing seemed to work... **THE EPIPHANY** When, suddenly, yesterday night, just before falling asleep, I had a brainchild! One word came to my mind and it was enlightening: **ECENCY**! I've been using it for months now, enjoying it and getting rewarded for my activity on #Hive, but I'd never thought it would have been the answer to my problem! https://ecency.com/trending/hive And the answer was so easy! Through **Ecency mobile** app you can buy Ecency points (also known as #ESTM) and you can use your Google Play balance to complete this purchase. https://ecency.com/trending/estm Then, you can sell the Ecency points you just purchased or use them to boost one of your posts to get an upvote from #Ecency itself. https://ecency.com/trending/ecency In the latter case, you also get an upvote whose value **exceeds** what you actually paid to get it: so you are turning your Google Play balance into **more** money... *pretty impressive, uh?* That's it: no KYC required, no need to download dubious apps, no fees, nothing tricky. You **download** the Ecency Mobile app, **log in**/**sign up**, **purchase** some **Ecency points** with your Google Play credits and.... **you are done**! You can sell them or start boosting your posts to get some Hive/HBD back. You can also swap the Hive/HBD received for FIAT money (USD, EUR, GBP...) on an external exchange. As far as I've seen, you can't register through the app: if you haven't an account, you should first sign up via your browser at Ecency.com/arc7icwolf (*affiliate link*) or Ecency.com. https://ecency.com/signup?referral=arc7icwolf     **How to convert your Google Play Reward Credits to cash through Ecency**   **STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL** **1) Download the Ecency app on the Play Store**
