Android users can cash in Google Play Points for a free Disney+ or Hulu subscription

If you're a power Android user, you might be able to claim a free Disney+ or Hulu subscription.

Google Play Points is a rewards system that lets you earn points by doing various tasks in the Google Play Store. You can earn Play Points in several ways: buying apps, games, or books from the Play Store, subscribing to Google One from Android, making in-app or in-game purchases and subscriptions, or taking advantage of weekly giveaways. 

Also: You could win $25,000 for pushing Google's Gemini 1.5 to its limit

Every point you earn in a calendar year moves you closer to a higher level. The higher your level, the more (and better) perks you can earn.

Usually, these points are good for in-app items and discounts. Earlier this year though, Google began offering opportunities to win Pixel devices or gaming products, attend Pokemon Go Fest or Comic-Con, and more. Now you can cash in your Play Points for a streaming subscription.

In a blog post today, Google announced that Gold Play Points members and above can get subscriptions to both Disney+ and Hulu. Here's how it works:

Gold members (600 - 2,999 points) get six months of Disney+ Basic with ads and/or six months of Hulu with ads.

Platinum members (3,000 - 9,999 points) get nine months of Disney+ Basic with ads and/or nine months of Hulu with ads.

Diamond members (10,000 points or more) get a full year of Disney+ Basic with ads and/or a full year of Hulu with ads.

An important caveat: these offers will only be available to new users of these services, not existing subscribers, and will be tied to the same email address you use for Google Play. 

You can check your Play Points total by going to the Play Store app and tapping your profile picture in the top right corner. You'll see your points total and level at the top. To redeem points, head to the Parks tab of the Play Store app.

Also: Cash App users have less than a month to claim up to a $2,500 settlement payout

Disney+ is available now, Google says. Hulu will become available a little later today.
