should see a page like this once you've checked for offers

yup, can confirm this. got this yesterday. chromecast paid for itself :smiley:

I've just tagged the £20 credit even though I got my chromecast v2 pretty much at launch! Well before the 15th November!

should see a page like this once you've checked for offers

What can be done with the £20 credit?

Not there for me but I did buy mine at launch (its a Chromecast Audio)

This Chromecast thang is being pushed like hell via Google for rea?, damnnnnnn!, hehehe, good on them, lol. :-)

please can i get some help, i have already paid for my now tv movies this month, when is the best time to cancel monthly subscription (just paid yesterday for next 30 days) and use (redeem) this offer in this chromecast app, thanks

Thankfully you don't have to enter any card details or anything to add it to your account, so double thumbs up! :wink:

Are you sure you can use it on apps? It clearly says 'movie' credit..

anyone know if you get these deals for buying a new cast even if you have already got on me (and used the deals)? Chromecast deals are great there are fro time to time free movies etc that pop up so its worth checking regularly even once youve cashed these in.

Yes

​yup, just bought some books and games with it.

Thanks for posting OP. Defo glad I bought a new Chromecast now (hadn't noticed much difference to the old one tbh, but it's nice to have one on both TVs).

Nice. The offer doesn't show for me, but I've had mine for ages and redeemed similar offers before.

One thing I did notice was that I could redeem the free movie rental offer, even though I used it last month to rent a movie that cost 15 quid!

Thanks OP. Managed to get the £20 credit with my V2 Chromecast I bought last month.

£20 credit, 2 months movies on NowTV (great for Christmas) and movie rental as well. That'll do nicely.

Nice offer op, I got this on mine the other day but have just purchased one for a Christmas present, does this have a use by date?

Is it "Free £20 Credit" or "Free £20 Movie Credit". I quickly ordered one seeing this post, but seems like I have missed it?

I nearly forgot to power up my old first-gen Chromecast to grab a second movie rental.

So if i grab today and set it up next week a Chromecast V2 ill still be eligible for this offer effectively making the device free ?

BTW. does anyone know if the credit times out?

Expires Jan 1, 2017

mrdtb is right. however, I personally find buying chromecast in UK is no brainer. I bought mine from wuaki Tv for £27 which gives me one of the latest movie. then every now and then, chromecast give offers like this. Google play credit £20 is very generous. last time on v1 was only £5. then 1 free movie rental, 3 months Google music, and then 2 months now TV. when you got such offer, quickly use them as they will have new batch of offers which applies to your existing chromecast. on v1, I got approx 3 batches of offers already. true that if you don't intend to buy things on Google play, your money shifted to an object that you will never purchase on the first place but I personally find the movies (now TV, crunchy rolls, free rental) are useful, giving me the access to all new movies throughout the year. for that, I find chromecast is really well worthed.

Redeamed yesterday - adds £20 to Googleplay account so can use for anything as far as I can see. Heat added.

Could not get the £20 , but have had my 2 chromecasts for ages , but got the movies and free rental..............this will be the third or fourth time I have had these .............cheers OP for reminding me to check.........

Remember you can cancel your now movies immediately and the offer is still active for the 2 months :smiley:

It's £20 movie credit.. just saying, might want to have this in the title. I was thinking this might be a good deal for £20 credit for games etc, but not just for streaming movies.

OK, so you can spend the credit on anything? can anyone confirm?

Anything on the play store apart from hardware.

Cool, thanks guys :smiley:

Probably won't use it much, but it's another device to play around with and is ultra portable for use when traveling etc

You can also use the credit to pay for things in games - I.e. buy Gold packs in Real Racing 3.

Are there any apps which allow you to stream uk TV? such as tvcatchup?

Well I have the v1 Chromecast so I'm not eligible for the £20 cashback but I'm glad this post prompted me to check my offers again because I've got 2 months of NowTV movies and a free Play movie rental. I'm really chuffed considering all the free offers I have had since I bought it. It only cost £18 and it just keeps giving.

Thanks op!

I've got all 4 offers showing to redeem!
Done the nowtv no problem, handy for the next two months as I cancelled it 2 weeks ago lol, the 3 months music and the £20 credit!

​Ah, I know - I buy myself one of those Play Store gift cards. That might do it..

Might buy one now.

why can't I see any offers anywhere???

On the chromecast app, you need to select the device then press the menu in the top right and select check for offers.

​No good for a Chromecast Audio. Ah well, never mind..

You can't use the credit to buy other hardware.

Just got my £20 GPStore credit sorted after receiving ( from WuakiTV ), unpacking and setting up my brand spanking new ChromeCast 2... Just gotta find something that is specifically only for ChromeCast that I can only get on GPStore of which I hazard a guess that it would be far and few between!.. :stuck_out_tongue:

It looks like the 2 months NowTV movies isn't tied to the Chromecast, and can be used with an existing account; it has to be entered before the end of January.

The £20 Google voucher requires the Chromecast to be set up by 15th January (and expires mid- Jan 2017).

Tesco Direct sell the unit at £30, which is about the sum of the £20 Google plus the Now TV movies, so it's more of a deal than a freebie.

how long do you have for this 20pound offer as my partner got it for me for crimbo!

I've claimed the £20 into my Google play account. Does anyone know when the credit expires? Thanks.

Couldn't beat it really

Cheers OP! Never knew about this so I bought Big Hero 6, Tinkerbell & Minecraft, all for £2 :smiley:

wow, now tv movies for 2 months combined with Cyber moday deal sorted movies for 4 months

Thanks.. worked for me. 2 months free movie pass

Got a Chromecast 2 via Wuaki for £20 with Mission Impossible, redeemed the £20 credit, and traded it in at CEX for £18. £20 Google Play credit and a movie for £2. Thanks OP :smiley:

thanks for this ordered

I got 3 months spotify, 3 months google music, 3 months deezer, 2 months nowtv, 1 free rental, mission impossible and £20 credit for £20. Incredible value.

I had a look on the deals section last night and I couldn't see the £20 credit offer. They haven't pulled it have they? I saw the other offers.

Was that with a v1 or v2 chromecast?

I have a v2 chromecast but can't seem to get the 20 pounds added to my account. I click on the offer on my offers page but my balance is still 0.

argos selling it for £25, nice

Ahh man, no Google play credit offer? Any way I can contact support or something?

Likewise the £20 offer isn't showing after setup! I can see all other offers but not the one I want. Boo!

This has maybe been posted, but the credit offer didnt show up on my Chromecast phone app. Had to login into the offers website and redeem there.

I took a chromecast abroad to give as a present. The 20 pounds is not coming up as an offer. Is it because I have installed it outside the UK? Anything I could try? I try searching for offers on a phone under a UK vpn but still no sign of any 20 pounds offer.

Quick question how come the quality of streamed movies via web browser is so bad

Can you redeem all 4 offers?

Can anyone help? For some reason when I click for the £20 credit, it won't work. I bought my ChromeCast (V2) about 3 weeks ago, and it shows up, but then when I follow the link it doesn't give me the option.

I'm doing it within Chrome, on my Mac. Is that wrong?

Ounce added to Google account....what is the credit expiry date?

you need to go into the app on your phone, it sends you to a page on your phone. I've not tried it on chrome on my mac as I can only get to that offers page through the app.

Link for chrome on Macbook

I can only see the first three... Free movie rental seems not to be there.
The 2 months Now Tv has to be activated by 31 Jan and I've just started a 2 month one on Christams Eve in our household ..Oh Bother.

Thanks for that... Looks like 90 days Spotify premium might be on offer instead...

Anyone else's keep crashing the tv

Just ordered one from tesco for £25 + 275 extra points added. Will sell my old one making this one almost free :smiley:

Thanks! That worked, and I now have £20 in my account! I thought it was just for films, but it looks like it's for ANYTHING on Google Play? That's good.

the price has gone up.

Thanks for the reminder...does the £20 free credit need to e redeemed (spent) by Friday or can you simply 'bank' the credit? I also have two of these, is there any benefit opening 2 new Google accounts or can you stack them either into an existing account or a new single account do you know?

You have to bank by Friday but doesn't expire until March I believe.
Do beware it takes a couple of hours after setup to show in offers page. I worried for a bit. Lol.
Not sure about stacking.

doesnt expire til jan 15 2017

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to clarify that, much appreciated.

Yeah, that caught me out too. Takes a couple of reboots and then the offer suddenly appeared. Very annoying.

well guess I have to buy a new Chromecast after all..great deal .thanks OP

My Google credit isn't showing, looks like some people have had the same issue, can anyone suggest what may need to be done for it to show in your account, I registered it last night and still no show.

I also can't get it to show up on my shiny new chromecast v2 :disappointed:

Tried a couple of reboots with no joy...

power off the chromecast for a hour then try again and also remember update the app. i done mine £20 last night . but i can't get the nowtv 2 months free may be because i done it with my chromecast v1 before ? can i give the nowtv code to my friend ?

If you already have Movies pass running in your NOW TV account, you can only add new Pass after the expiry of current pass.

If it's any help, I didn't have any luck with registering it with my PC, my daughter has a Chromebook and so I tried it on that and the credit went through straightaway after, as someone else has mentioned, rebooting it. You may have more luck trying with a tablet or if you have one a Chriomebook rather than a PC. I had two of these, created a second account for the other as they often do a free movie rental from time to time.

Thanks for clarifying that. May open another account and redeem it then, with 5 of us in the house there are usually arguments over who's devices after the main box connected to the TV gets NowTV as its capped at 4 devices.

Guys ive already redeemed my £20 credit on one of my devices, is the rest of the stuff redeemed in the form of a code, or do i instantly need to take out the service?

Also I've still got a second unopened Chromecast 2 sitting in a box, can i redeem that £20 from that one to the same account that I redeemed the last Chromecast too?

And i'm i right in thinking that you have a year to use the credit by?

Can anyone tell me if the £20 promotional credit is still being shown when you click through to https://cast.google.com/chromecast/offers/ . The offer is still showing for me with a redeem button and when I select it.

It says:

You are about to add £20.00 to **my email address**
Gift Card & Promotion Code Terms and Conditions.

Followed by a Cancel and Confirm button.

If i push confirm again is it going to give me credit again? :confused:

It looks like it is, but im a bit worried about pushing it LOL

I still haven't even attempted to un-pack my second chromecast and set it up yet..

It will just show as you have redeemed the code before if you click the redeem button. It still shows up on mine even though I've redeemed it.

Yeah right you are, i just tried it and it said redeemed and showed me a used code. :smile:

So what If i redeem the other promo's i.e Spotify, Google Music and Now (if they are still valid) will clicking the link associate them with my account immediately, or provide me a code? I haven't selected or attempted to redeem them yet to date..

Then what should I do with my second Chromecast promotions, can the money be redeemed to the same account as the first? and what about the Google Music, Spotify and Now TV?

Thanks :innocent:

You can redeem the other £20 google play credit to the same account, that is not a problem. In regards of the promo codes for everything else, they will all be individual voucher codes, apart from Spotify which is just a generic link.
