Google Pay celebrates Singapore’s 58th birthday by combining the two things that Singaporeans love the most– good eats and cashback! From 8 to 20 August 2023, Google Pay will launch a mini-game, Hawker Pals, to celebrate Singaporeans’ love for hawker food.
Anyway, this mini-game is pretty simple, and you can get some easy cash (anywhere between S$3.20 to S$105 cumulative over the next couple of weeks) by completing various payment activities using Google Pay.
