are Google sponsoring this site or what, post a Chromecast and it seems to get heat, it really is the worse gadget I've ever bought compared to similar price competition.
Edit:
Just read deal properly, if your after Google play credit then its a great deal, still feel robbed about my Chromecast purchase, so please forgive me.

so the chromecast basically costs 2.99?

Thanks

Why so? ..and what competition

How does the google-play store credit thing work? I don't see that on Wuaki.

sorry if stupid question... but can i use this credit to buy non chromecast apps for my tablet eg if i wanted to buy some maths apps for my son rather than movies tv shows or music?

You might be lucky and get this before Feb! From this site...

Good point, will see if I can find anything...

You can get £18 for the chromecast at CEX

1st gen £12
2nd gen £18

Wow £22.99 for an SD copy of a film - however, worth it for the £20 Google play credit.

If you want streaming on your TV, Amazon fire is the way to go.

Excellent price. Heat added.

Ordered :smiley: Got my MI:RN Chromecast last week and traded it in at CEX. Not as good as that offer but £5 for £20 Play credit and the film is still not bad (IF CEX price holds and IF I can add another £20 to my account - otherwise the missus can have this credit :smiley:)

Also, £1 TCB

How is it you're giving away your credit does google supply you a code then?

You connect to your Chromecast and redeem the offer. In the past when it has been one per account it normally rejects your attempt to redeem and displays the code in the code field, so I guess you can just copy it and enter it in another account which has not redeemed the offer. Or, just connect to the Chromecast with the other account and redeem :smiley:

Can the credit be used on music or only movies... not sure how play store works with credit . Conflicting replies...

Thanks :-)

Excellent, I have the Wuaki app on my TV ands just about to buy it on apple! :-) Happy days, thanks OP.... Now lets just hope Google do the 99p Albums over Christmas !

thanks op ordering this because I use credit on my growtopia account haha

Thanks

Thanks mate...

Anyone got any reindeer's to trade ? :laughing:

I bought the game 'This War of Mine' from the Play Store using my credit, so games can be purchased too.

As an aside, the game is spectacular BTW.

Tried to purchase this but it wouldn't accept my card and there was no PayPal option.

Amen

​I have redeemed the £20 offer on my first V2 Chromecast, do you know if you can redeem again with a second Chromecast on the same account?

Yes, you can redeem a second one on the same account.

Does the credit have to be used by a set date once you've claimed the promotion, or is it once you've claimed it, it remains on your account for good?

You have to redeem the credit on to your account by the 15th January 2016, and the credit will expire on your account by January 15, 2017.

Thank you. :man:

how do you get the movies on this? I bought one earlier this month that came with a movie but no idea where the movie actually is!

Is TCB broken at the moment?

Loved this film! Definitely my favourite film this year

Thanks OP ordered one but can i ask how you get the 2 months Now Tv movies mentioned at the threads beginning please ?

thanks

TCB has tracked at £2.20 for me :smile: Thanks for the post.

Anyone have a good tutorial to run this with the Fire 7 tablet?

Considering rooting it cus the Amazon eco system isn't great without Prime

Hi I currently have the 1st one and nearing the end of the two month movies trial if I was to buy this would I be able to use the movies code again or would I have to make a new account?

Voted cold didn't receive a Partridge or anything even resembling a pear tree

really need to bite and buy one of these

Hope so, it does seem a great deal considering ur getting a film £20 of credit and two months now tv movies. Off topic do you know if tesco sell these in store?

I would imagine so, if not, they have them for £25 online which you could have delivered to a store near you

Yes I saw them instore today. Wierdly they were selling V1 for £3 more :neutral_face:

Thanks, are they £25 in store? as on tesco groceries they show up at £30 its just I have a £7 off £50 shop and could make use of it if theu y are £25

Just look in your library :-)

i would pay an extra £2 and get it from tesco direct, ordered mine over 3 weeks ago in the mission impossible deal, and it only just got dispatched today.

A partridge you say.....nice!

looks good, thanks.

Il buy it when you get star wars 7 with it

Or if you were to order the Chromecast now and receive it before your current Movies pass runs out, then just apply the new voucher onto your existing Now TV account.

Otherwise as per Lumiere's post above, definitely cancel or you'd be charged once your trial expires - I made this mistake when I forgot to cancel an Entertainment pass.

OK thanks I have ordered this deal as my current nowtv runs out on 29th so hopefully should be able to extend on the 30th :man: and get the extras also. Thanks

Question: This or an Amazon Fire stick?

Why?

I ended up getting it from Tesco direct for a few quid more.

Cheers for the deal, heat added, i was looking to get one of these for around £20 for upstairs tv, with the offers proper break even and what not :smile:

Hmm strange, i haven't used wuaki before on my name (missus has had it) bought and paid for this and tcb only tracked 10pence for new user no other higher cashback for buying anything :S

I would really appreciate some input from power users / modifiers about how this compares to the fire stick.

I have an unopened fire stick lying at home, and I don't know if this is better/different/more flexible.

There seems to be quite a vibrant community for aftermarket modifications with the fire stick (e.g kodi).

What about the broadcast?

Anyone else have a problem getting this? I've logged in, entered shipping info and then my card details, but then when I click "Save Payment details and confirm" nothing happens and that button is no longer clickable.

Just ordered this, i got emailed my billing receipt but no ETA on the chromecast & considering that's the only thing i wanted from the order i find that a bit ridiculous. Also if it doesn't arrive before the chromecast deals end, i'll feel a bit out of pocket :disappointed: Any ideas on how long these things take to deliver? i'm hoping no longer than a week >:c

i ordered from the last deal (the Mission Impossible Rogue Nation one) on the 24th November and I'm still waiting for the Chromecast to be delivered almost a whole month later. Bad company, just buy it from Currys or Argos for a couple extra quid and save the hassle!

£20 credit seems to show up within a day... Wasn't immediate for me.

On the Google offers site it says that the credit is for movies only - is this the case or is it general Play store credit?

It's always the case, it won't show up on the billing as it's a freebie. Delivery says 4 to 7 days, mine took 6 on the mission impossible deal.

Yes I have. They say it should be within 7-10 days from today, which isn't ideal as it's a Christmas present.

Maybe you could buy one from Tesco and when the wuaki one arrives take that one back?

Chromecast arrived just now - thanks OP.

Mine just arrived today, thanks OP. I was surprised that there was never a dispatch email though.

Mine has arrived but do you know how to get the £20 Google Play credit - I've gone to the offers page (Chromecast.com/offers) but it just shows the Now TV, Google Music and Spotify offer?

TIA

Same, got mine today and no £20.00 offer

Also £20 offer missing for me :disappointed:

I set up the Chromecast once, redeemed the free trial and then rebooted the device through the android app.

Went through the setup again and lo and behold, the Google £20.00 credit appeared.

So reboot your devices peeps

I'm using the chromecast app, clicking top left tab, 2nd option is for offers. In there it just shows me 2 months now TVs, Spotify, Google music and minions 2 :/

Now it's still offering me the redemption, shall I add another £20.00 lol

Try the reboot like jimbo

Ive just set it up with the Fire 7 Tab I bought from Amazon.

Got showbox running through it great!

Yep I've watched a few things on showbox now and it's not stuttered once, great little device

Try the allcast app too, I prefer that with showbox as the "other player"

Yeah! Although the battery isn't great on the Fire tab

Reboot didn't work for me. But, in the settings where reboot is I found another way to check offers. That opened a chrome tab to google play. The offer showed up :smiley: thanks for the help. If it wasn't for the reboot info I wouldn't have found it :smiley:

You mean like I showed in post #101 :wink:

Oops. I did read that at the time but thought that must just be the same as the normal check offers tab. Who'd have thought they would have more than one way to check offers on the same app. cheers for the help, Merry Xmas

Haha you're welcome and same to you :smiley:

Just to clarify this deal .... for buying this item you get all this ? :-

a man from uncle film

You have to ask why Google have launched a v2 of this when much of the chromecast software is still in Beta and not working properly?

Does say first 1000 for the movie

Thanks OP and everyone for their help regarding the £20 credit, got mine today and £20 didnt show but i rebooted via the pc utility on the setup page and it was there :smiley:

I though v1 Chromecast was crap so hesitant to try v2

How do you redeem the £20 credit?

Does anyone else have website issues?

what's the delivery date on this? anyone know?

Ordered mine on 16th Dec, received yesterday (21st Dec) for anyone wondering how long it takes.

That's 3-4 business days.

Oh how I wish I'd ordered a day or two earlier! I ordered on the 19th, so 4 business days will be the 24th, and 7 business days willl be the 29th

received mine yesterday and setup today, at first the £20 credit doesnt show, but I did BACK READ on this thread and found out that we must reboot the device. thanks

I had to uninstall and install chromecast from App Store. Any problems call chromecast team 0800 026 0667 which I did (opened 24/7)

Need to get one of these

How do you obtain the £20 play credit? Thanks

​ordered thanks. have some more heat!

Only problem I have with this is that the Chromecast isn't shown on order. May be problems with proof of ownership, etc. Might run into problems for warranty issues...

EDIT: May I kindly request if anyone can perhaps post their receipt for this? I haven't really managed to see one...

Order date: 17/12/2015
Received: 23/12/2015

Also managed to get my £20 google play credit too. I can confirm that I used this credit to purchase apps from the Google play store!

Mine arrived today having ordered on the 17th. My offers included the £20 credit as well as a free movie rental. So all good. Very impressed with the device.

Thanks - that worked for me!

Ordered on Sunday, arrived Christmas Eve, cant complain at that !

i just recieved mines, how do u redeem the Google play store? where do I get the code from?

Once you setup your chromecast visit the following url on your phone or laptop:

https://cast.google.com/chromecast/offers/

Once it detects your chromecast it will show the £20 credit offer.

Don't know if anyone mentioned this before - note that any purchased film is only available for a period of 3 years & one cannot download it to keep for good (found out a short while ago when just about to buy a film) - from HERE:

"If you decide to purchase a movie or TV series, the content will be available in your "Library" folder for at least 3 years. If the studios allow us, we will of course make the content available even longer.

At the moment, for technical reasons, it is not possible to download your purchased content for offline viewing. You can also not download it to the hard drive of your computer or to a DVD disc. Nevertheless, you can access your purchased content easily and stream it as many times as you want. Your "Library" folder is located in the upper right-hand corner of the homepage. You must be signed in to your Wuaki.tv account to see your "Library".

How do you access the free Man from U.N.C.L.E?

Sign in and it's in your library

I've taken the podcast abroad where I set it up. I rebooted it but still can't see the offer. Does anyone know whether it's only available if the device is set up in the UK?

link not working now. same for everyone else?

Yes, I am and I did try with a vpn. Very odd. It's now 48hrs. I'll give it another go now via vpn maybe reboot or factory reset the device too.
EDIT: Still no joy. I think it may be because it downloaded the foreign firmware upon connection. I'll try when back home with the UK firmware.

The offers on till mid Jan so you've got a bit of time yet :smile:

Chromecast users: Pls don't forget to accept your free rental movie ready and waiting for you via Chromecast App. Open and go to my apps. You need to take up the offer by 31st Dec 2015. Once selected, you have 30 days to use it and 48 hours once you start and play it. Happy New Year all!!

How long has it taken some of you to receive your chromecast? Is there any indication for it to be delivered?

The deal is expired?

mines not arrived yet.... ordered on 22nd, anyone else seeing similarly slow delivery?

false alarm, was delivered to my neighbour and no card left! will have to email wuaki and fess up!

love the Chromecast though easy to set up and even works with my CH-iPhone. :smiley:
