Well, I'd rather not let Google have any payment methods, especially
since they don't have payware in their Play Store that I need now.
Usually I can find freeware apps that are devoid of ads, or the ads are
hidden (you have to dig for them to explicitly view them).
I've bought several nexus/pixel devices from the play store, as well as apps, so they have my details
The reason why you got the notice, and not I or others, is the following
condition: "Open to select participants based on their purchase
history". My purchase history is so old and measly that Google will
never be sending me that discount. Interestingly it also says "Google
Payments account required", yet Google Pay is dead.
Here is my list of app purchases over 13 years, doesn't seem that bad, several no longer exist in the store and most I no longer have installed.

Trying to get suggestions on buying something because you might get a
big discount reminds me of the comedy skit where the husband comes home
to find bags of dry dog food in the kitchen, and asks why there are bags
of dog food. Wife says there was a huge sale on dog food. Husband
remarks "But we don't have a dog."
I'm sure there are apps I've hummed and hawed about, then ended-up not buying, was hoping for some brain joggers while I've got the discount offer.
