/r/GooglePixel subreddit Some users on the subreddit are getting free cash from Google with a notification saying they received the money to “test Google Pay Remittance Experience”. Some people get a small amount, but others see their balance increase by more than $1, .
“Dogfooding” is when company employees test new features or services before making them available to the public. This suggests that Google accidentally sent cash to random users to “test” Google Pay features, instead of paying the employees who actually tested them.
As a follow-up, Google notified affected users that they would attempt to reverse the payment, but if they were unable to, the cash would go to them. Do you happen to be one of those lucky Pixel owners?
