With the holidays quickly arriving, you might feel overwhelmed if you haven't yet started shopping for gifts. However, there are plenty of gift cards you can order that will please just about anyone on your list and still arrive on time. Some of these gifts even include additional perks that can help you save on future purchases. Amazon is currently offering a $5 promo credit on Google Play gift cards worth $50 or more when you use promo code GOPLAY at checkout. The savings are applied at checkout, so you'll pay only $45. Ordering soon is the best way to secure this deal and ensure timely delivery if you need your gift on or before Dec. 25.

Amazon is currently offering Google Play gift cards in various denominations, but note that the $5 promo credit is applicable only to cards worth $50 or more. Gift cards can be redeemed for any item available at the US Google Play store, including apps, games and other Google products. All the receiver needs to do is scratch off the bar code included the card and use the available funds. With no expiration dates to worry about, this is a great gift for gamers, fans of Androids or even regular users of Google products.

Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?

If you’re ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.

Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies arrive as soon as Dec. 16, with others offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays. 

The Google Play card will arrive before Christmas, according to Amazon, but it's best to order soon if you prefer a physical card.

If you choose the Google gift code, this is a digital deal, so you'll receive an order confirmation and an access code immediately. That means you don't need to worry about shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others if you're buying this as a holiday gift. Instead, you'll be able to print out the access code and slip it into a card or stocking anytime or have it emailed directly to the recipient.
