Google Pay: You could receive a reward of up to Rs 1,00,000 on transacting, here's how

Google Pay, which was known as Google Tez till recently, is the internet giant's payments interface, and uses UPI for funds transfers in India.

Google is stepping up its presence in the digital payments space in India, and has recently rebranded its Google Tez app to Google Pay, although for the time being it’s still listed on the Google Play Store as Tez. The app allows users to link a bank account and make digital payments over UPI (Unified Payments Interface), the system devised by the National Payments Corporation of India to promote digital payments and cashless transactions.

Google is now promoting the use of Google Pay with a very attractive rewards scheme that promises a reward of up to Rs 1,00,000 to a few lucky users who use Google Pay to send money. However there are some conditions attached, which we’ve listed below. Here’s how you can win a reward of up to Rs 1,00,000 when using Google Pay.

A minimum of five transactions

IN order to be eligible for the reward, users have to make a minimum of five transactions using Google Pay up till 9AM on September 18. Only certain types of transactions are eligible for the offer: P2P and cash mode transactions to other Google Pay users, payments to other bank accounts, payments to merchants using cash mode, payments to merchant bank accounts and payments using a Google Tez UPI ID.

Rewards can be anywhere from Rs 5 to Rs 1,00,000

According to the Google Pay offer, there are a total of 50 million rewards on offer, so it’s likely that anyone who meets the reward offer criteria will win some kind of reward. However, the reward denominations vary from anywhere between Rs 5 to Rs 1,00,000, so only a lucky few users (if at all) will even win the full amount. Nonetheless, any cash back reward is appreciable, particularly if you’re using the app to make payments anyway.

Apart from its overhaul and rewards scheme, Google Pay will also be offering users instant loans, having tied up with banks to facilitate these loans. This will give users quick and easy access to loans directly through the app itself.

WhatsApp to Soon Get Fingerprint Authentication on Android: Report

HIGHLIGHTS Fingerprint authentication will be required for users to open WhatsApp The new WhatsApp feature is current under development It will protect the entire WhatsApp app and not specific conversations WhatsApp is reportedly working on a fingerprint authentication feature to protect its users' chats from being seen by others. The authentication, once enabled, will be required for users to open the app. The Facebook-owned instant messaging service was recently reported to bring a similar feature to iPhone as well, supporting two biometric authentication methods - both Face ID and Touch ID. It appears this won't be limited to iPhone, and users on Android will get fingerprint authentication, but no facial recognition based authentication, thanks to the lack of a widely used standard on the platform. According to WABetaInfo, a fan site that tests new WhatsApp features early, the feature is current under development, and disabled by default in the...

Huawei Employee Reportedly Reveals Android P Name, And It’s Not What You Think

It’s that time of the year when the world speculates on which dessert will be used as the name for the next Android version. While there have been several easter eggs and hints about Android P’s official name, there’s no clarity on what it might actually be called. According a report by Tabeltowo , a Huawei employee might have just leaked the full name of Android P as Android Pistachio. During a live chat with a customer, the Huawei support staff clearly said Android Pistachio in relation to a query about software updates in Poland, as seen in the image below: While simply Pistachio might not make sense to most people, considering the fact that Google is known for naming its Android version after desserts, a previous report might help. Back in February, Bloomberg had reported that Android P would be called Android Pistachio Ice Cream which makes more sense than just Pistachio. But we are sure you have other P-themed desserts in mind for...
