Google Express Promo Code — Shut Down in 2019

Is Google Express Still Around?

No. We confirmed this two ways: express.google.com now returns a plain 404 instead of loading anything, and there’s no “Google Express” app in the App Store — it’s simply not there. This matches Google Express’s well-documented public history: Google shut it down in early 2019 and merged its same-day delivery features into the main Google Shopping app and site. Google Shopping itself later moved away from letting you check out directly on Google, so even the checkout model Google Express pioneered doesn’t really exist inside Google’s own products anymore — Google Shopping today mostly works as a comparison and listings tool that sends you to retailers’ own sites to complete a purchase.

Google Express delivered items same-day from major retail stores for a $95/year membership (with the first 3 months free), similar in shape to Amazon Prime. New members got a $10 credit when they signed up, and Google Express ran its own referral program — members could share a personal referral code, and both the referrer and the new signup got a $10 credit when it was used.

Since Google Express is gone, your best bet for actual savings on everyday shopping is a cash-back site rather than a delivery membership. We currently track two that are live and working: Rakuten (formerly Ebates), which pays cash back at thousands of stores and currently offers a real signup bonus, and Ibotta, a cash-back app for both online and in-store purchases. Neither replicates Google Express’s same-day delivery exactly, but both are verified working ways to get money back on purchases you’re already making.
