Country and limits
These rules come from Google:
- gift cards can only be redeemed in the country where they were bought; if you're travelling, you may have to wait until you're back;
- the card currency has to match the currency of your Play country;
- Play balance can only be spent while you're in the country where it was redeemed;
- Play balance has total and daily limits, and a code that would take you over the limit won't redeem.
