Thought I'd check the chromecast offers page today to see if the had any free movies. No movies but hey, what do you know, $6 free credit.

The description is as follows:
"Enjoy a date night on us. Get $6 Google Play Movie rental"

I was going to put this as a freebie but figured that it does have at least one string attached, that being the requirement to own a chromecast.

To get the credit, go to https://cast.google.com/chromecast/offers/ in your browser (or check the offers page in the chromecast app), then click redeem :D

I don't know if the credit can only be used for movies, or if it can be used for apps or books as well. Hopefully someone can enlighten us. Edit: thanks JSQUARED and others, it looks like it can be used for anything.

I also have no idea when this might expire. Edit: expiry added https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6008836?hl=en-A…

Enjoy your free credit!

      If you have the American Chromecast you'll only get that one, like me.
      If you have an Australian one you should get the $6 credit.

  • guidedlight on 06/02/2015 - 20:01

    Can anyone confirm whether this works for Chromecast's purchased from the US?

    • krouton24 on 06/02/2015 - 20:07

      Mine was purchased from the US and I got a 90 day music subscription. I don't think it matter where it came from but more where it's located.

    • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2015 - 20:51

      My AU one gave all four deals, but my US one only gave the 90 day music offer.

    • Pete331 on 07/02/2015 - 11:07

      Yep, US one only gave me 90 days of free tunes :(

  • Turd on 06/02/2015 - 20:23

    You can use the money on any google item. Last time I redeemed $5 and bought an app with it, so I assume it's the same this time.

  • Forgot69 on 06/02/2015 - 20:26

    Champion! $6 here!

    Google Play credit is universal. The credit can be used any way you like, even in-app purchases.

  • Sabs on 06/02/2015 - 20:59

    Awesome. Worked fine for me. Thanks, OP!

    ETA: I used it for an in-app purchase, so definitely not limited to movie rentals.

  • superforever on 06/02/2015 - 21:03

    Thanks I have 2 CC so total $12.

    Not only for Movie rental as the offer said, Right.

    • combatant on 06/02/2015 - 21:10

      Was about to post this as well. I got $12 too and have another CC still in box so might get another $6 there. Works off the serial # of your chromecast. Unfortunately Presto isn't compatible with my Galaxy Note4 apparently so haven't used that offer yet.

    Expires 23 March according to JB Hi Fi: "Purchase and set up a Chromcast [SIC] before March 23rd 2015 and receive a Bonus $6 towards a Valentines Day movie rental on Google Play. To redeem, visit chromecast.com/offers. "

      Thanks, updated.

  • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2015 - 21:21

    Am I the only one who gets a page-cannot-be-loaded page after clicking the offer?

    • kbzj on 06/02/2015 - 21:22

      Are you on the same network as your chromecast?

      • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2015 - 21:26

        Yeah, it finds the chromecast, then when I select the $6 offer, the page doesn't load.

        • kbzj on 06/02/2015 - 21:32

          It's a redirect to the play store with the coupon code in the URL. Maybe you can copy the code and redeem it manually?

  • PissLUR on 06/02/2015 - 21:42

  • toaster2 on 06/02/2015 - 22:04

    I bought mine in the UK and the offers were:

    Get your 3 month Entertainment Pass from NOW TV - Signup result: "It is not possible to sign up to NOW TV from outside of the UK."
    Get 90 days of unlimited music FREE from Google Play - When I tried to redeem this one it said only available to new users.

    Oh well serves me right for buying mine in the UK.

    • Pobman on 08/02/2015 - 15:28

      Use Getflix or other similar setups and Now TV will work.

  • PLANT on 06/02/2015 - 22:12

    worked on work computer but wants chromecast at home wtf?

    • terrys on 11/02/2015 - 08:53

      It needs the chromecast to connect to validate the offer - it isn't on your work's wi-fi…

  • giventofly on 06/02/2015 - 22:35

    I had four offers - $6 credit, 90 Days GPM, Presto and X-Men Movie.

    Got the X-Men Movie and the credit. 90 Days GPM only valid for new users.

  • WhyAmICommenting on 06/02/2015 - 22:57

    Thanks so much, had all 4 but already used google play music before

  • hetzjagd on 07/02/2015 - 00:18

    awww hells yeah!! That's $6 I can use towards Golden Scratch tickets in The Simpsons Tapped Out! I really needed this since the Google Opinion Rewards stopped offering me surveys mid-December. Really appreciated cause I wouldn't even bother using the credit on movies or music rental or purchases or whatever it was actually intended for.

  • TheAviator on 07/02/2015 - 00:21

    Worked! Pretty glad I got the Chromecast, paid $7 for it (using some COTD referrals) and in return have received this $6 as well as the free movie, Google Play Music and Presto subscriptions. It's paying for itself! :P

    Just redeemed the $6 credit. Anyone knows how to use the credit? If I buy an app, does the credit automatically apply?

    • gadget on 07/02/2015 - 09:53

      Yes. You'll see a purchase confirmation screen with the app price and the play balance.

  • EVA-01 on 07/02/2015 - 10:28

    i already got a 90 days Play Music trial from December and it's still got a month left. Would the trial period stack if I redeem another trial from another Chromecast?

    Edit: NVM. Got this message when I tried to redeem "This special offer is only valid for new Google Play Music subscribers"

    I recommend Cast2TV. Has heaps of live streams and might be useful to cast cricket streams during the world cup:

    Please try it out and if it doesn't work refund it. I haven't personally used it but someone showed it to me once.
