Think that through :smiley:

​ not absolutely useless with a smart tv. Not all smart tvs are equal. :man:

​Read the comments before you post. It's all explained.

Mega heat :smiley:

Do you get 1x£20 play credit, or 2x£20 (£40) play credit? :smiley:

£20 per chromecast, so £40 altogether.

It says valid for one £20 Google Play credit. But on the other bundles from PC World and Currys people have stated they've got £40.

Cheers, just states on page that you can only get £20 worth...

Agreed. It is worded rather confusingly. It seems like they've mentioned the £20, but then decided to add another offer on to the end of the offer, rather than stating you'll get £20 per chromecast as well. As long as you register each of them between the stated dates it should add the promotional credits to your account.

It's per Chromecast; Google not the retailer supply the credit.
Just use a different G account per device, it's probably easier for them to say what they say, rather than explain properly.

Is this the best deal for two then at £40? Currys , Argos etc at 2 for £50?

Tesco & Currys sell it for £25 each. Do the math. Makes a great Christmas pressie. I bought mine for 23 quid when Wuaki were doing a deal with the Max Max movie. :stuck_out_tongue:

Heat!

What benifit does this have over 1st gen model

Video Only....they do not have the audio versions to mix and match

Although there is no cashback offered for John Lewis, Quidco will give you 20 coins towards the Quidco Rewards promotion. Hot deal!

Oh ok no point upgrading

Just came back from picking this up instore. It may list it still at the higher price on the shelf of £30, but if you mention it at the till about it being cheaper on their website, they'll charge you that amount. Apparently they haven't changed the pricing over instore yet.

not the audio version?

Yes, it shows on the boxes also £20 each. Once registered it should add each of them to your account. I think where they have updated their website to match, they've forgot to include both vouchers.

I would prefer to buy £25 with £20 credit and buy 2 of those having £40 credit and spend £50, rather spend £40 and get just £20 credit. If you fancy 2 chromecasts. Cold for me.

you will get £20 credit each for both Chromecasts. John Lewis website hasn't mentioned that clearly.

​Read the comments before you post. It's all explained.

What a deal! 2 Chromecasts for buying £40 of playstore credit.

Absolutely useless for a smart TV but great for those that have non smart TV's in bedrooms / kitchens etc.

I think some people are forgetting that the offer is from Google, not the retailers. The stock that Currys/PCWorld etc have is the exact same stock JL has.

is the play credit available for anything on the store? or just movies? I use the first version daily and i can get 20 quid free play store credit for ANYTHING on the store i may upgrade

Can anyone confirm that if you register both devices to the same Play account, you get £40 in credit?

Was very pleasantly surprised by how much I use my existing 1st gen Chromecast. Ordered two of the new ones now, thanks.

If you are in London and you just need 1 Chromecast, I'll pick them up tomorrow at JL Oxford Street.

Send me a PM if you are interested in one for £20.

​Will you be able to confirm when you use it if it's available for apps?

Yes, I shall. I'll also double check their T's and C's anyway.

802.11 b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz/5 GHz)

How do you claim the £20 credit? Is it when you register the device?

Again think that through :disappointed:

which companies will price match guys?

Many Thanks!

See post #17 :smiley:

Can u not read?

Has this expired? It's showing 2 for £50 pound for me when added to basket

Damn got 2 from Argos for £50 the other day. Any one know if Argos will price match retrospectively? I have already opened one so can't take it back.

Thank you missed the 2 for £40 at tesco's

PCWORLD price promise too bud..

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/price-promise-875-theme.html?intcmp=nav~price-promise~service

Tescos price promise vs john lewis too

http://www.tesco.com/direct/price-check/

Just to add, I dont think this deal will be around too long e.g. will probably go out of stock or may pull the offer as maybe an error (similar to the Tesco deal from Friday)

So if looking to get this deal from another retailer best to do it now, alternatively just buy from John lewis and click and collect at Waitrose

thanks

just got currys price match on this, also cex paying £20 cash for these

Can someone confirm whether its £20 on any Google play or is it for movies only.
no guesses/assumptions please.

from checking chromecast site /offers it mentions movies,

Can confirm that Currys will price match. Got two for £40 from their St Helens store.

Anyone in Leicester wanna go halves

Good deal!
anyone know a way to get free delivery from JL?

Says it is £2 for click and collect (at Waitrose). Sure this was free last time I used it.

Price matched.. boom!!!

My bad - yes it wasn't applied as 2 x chromecasts in the basket.
Great deal as there is still no John Lewis store in Leeds!

May just go in to Currys tomorrow and see if they will price match though.
thanks

Might help someone but you can use the credit on anything digital in the play store so not towards phones for example. Also, I have 2 of the new Chromecasts and was able to get both lots of £20 credit on one google account. Worked just fine.

You do a chromecast and the music version for £40?

It does actually say
"google play movie credit" so can it be used on the App Store or just for movies

No idea what this does

​I'm not sure how my comment ended up as a reply to jase.2 !

good deal op, cheers

Any one in solihull area wants to go halves...I dont need two.

wicked deal, heat from me!!

What have you been smoking pal jesus

Is delivery only free for collection?

Interested in the Audio - anyone know if there is a way to stream Amazon Prime Music to one of these?

PC world and CURRY's price match btw, and you can collect for free!

Can the Play store credit be used to purchase another chromecast from the play store?

Thanks OP. Guess I'll be heading in store to get the difference I paid Friday back then.

What's the difference between this and the older version?

Is the google play credit linked to your account or can you give them to someone else since I am not what I would do with £40 worth of googl play credit.

Soz...I started reading through the posts but I didn't fancy reading through 5 pages for the answer!

I can't speak for the Chromecast video but with the Chromecast audio you can cast from chrome on a pc, the quality seemed questionable but I didn't look at any settings. On an android device using the prime music app there's no cast option built into the app but if you have an android version that has native cast support it casts OK that way.
I've not used it extensively, just briefly tested now with one song so I don't know if there are any issues...
If you have an iDevice, I don't know but probably not.

Anyone in London want to go halves?

yes there is, its aesthetically pleasing and the HDMI connector has a magnet on it.

Nothing against this post - its a good deal. But we are just in a chromecast-geddon at the moment on HUKD - atleast 5-6 different deals all on the home page - with pretty much the same offers - just different retailers and offering colors !

Wouldnt use one if it was for free but heat for being the best deal available I suppose.

Cool let me look into it and pm you

Ditto that. :-)

Now showing as £50

Go through all the previous comments of this Thread (if you've not done so already?) .. at least 1 other person earlier made a comment that that they were able to STILL get this 2nd gen £20 credit on their 1st gen Chromecast Devices? (despite it not being originally intended for them, etc, etc, etc ... ) hahahaha.

You lose nothing it trying for it I gess?, lool. :-)

How can I get the promotion code？

gone its £50 now dam :disappointed:

I purchased 1 piece from John Lewis at 30 (still under 30 days). Will they Price match with themselves and give me another piece at an extra 10 pound ? :smiley:

audio?

damn it - don't know why I didn't just order it yesterday!
Wonder if it was a pricing mistake given the short amount of time it was at this price.

​tried on Saturday against Tesco. its only a handful of products, odd iron, odd TV etc, not all products and the Chromecast is not one of them. Argos wouldn't budge.

Love my Chromecast2! It's great for BBC iPlayer and All 4. You get a free movie hire too at the moment.

Interesting comment that? .. as someone else said 'NOPE' earlier too?, but ... NOT BAD!. :-)

I have personally now added 4 x £20 Google Play credit (£80 in total in the last week) to the very same Gmail account - only have one account. Every time a new Chromecast has been added and i've taken the offer of £20 free credit its specifically said I have until 31/12/2016 to use the credit.

WOW!, lucky sod!, hehe, I'll ride shotgun on your first £40 then, yeh?, hahahahahahaha!, lool. :-)

Ps.
This Chromecast Google Play Credit can LITERALLY be used on 'anything' from the Google Play Store right?, eg. to buy 'NON-Chromecast' Google Play App's/Movies & the like too right?, or ..... thanx. :-)

I bought 2 during this deal but I only need one. The other one is still unopened.

I'm selling it for £20 in central London.
