    Great. Thanks. Worked for me.

  • veej on 14/12/2019 - 10:16

    I haven't seen this link in my email but I do have a subscription so jumped on it as soon as I saw the title of this post. First ever smart device other than my phone, it'll be an adventure haha.

  • relliksalta on 14/12/2019 - 11:36

    I have a family account. Only main and 1 other worked. Others came up as invalid expired offer.

    2 mini nests is better than nothing. So that's 1 Lenovo display, 3 minis and 2 mini nests now. No secrets for us with Google listening :)

    • PepePepeson on 14/12/2019 - 19:33

      Were the invalid accounts kids under 13?

  • WwDesi on 14/12/2019 - 12:00

    This offer is expired or invalid.

    • relliksalta on 14/12/2019 - 12:00

      That's what I got for some accounts.. does that mean it's ended for all?

  • L0zBargain on 14/12/2019 - 12:22

    I got the pop up!

    Clicked on it then was told it was invalid or expired…

    What a tease!

      This happened to me too. I got customer support to call me and they said it was only available to Youtube Premium or Youtube Music Premium customers. If you're billed through Google Play Music, you are technically ineligible, unlike what OPs post says. They said they will escalate my issue and see if they can do anything for me, but it's a bit unfair to offer you something then say you're ineligible. Try contacting customer support and see how you go:

        Thanks for the tip by the way. I just spoke with customer support and they e-mailed me a direct link to try and this time it worked!

        I already have three at home but another mini on the way… free I guess shrug

  • UndeclaredFreak on 14/12/2019 - 14:09

    I’ve never once qualified for any of the free Google Home Minis and for some reason missed out on the Amazon Echo through Audible even though I’d been a pain member for a year and a half.

    Anyways, I see by the amount of likes on this deal, there’s a lot of YouTube Premium and Google Play Subscibers. Can someone explain what’s so good about them? What makes them worth the price? Thank you :)

      Ad free for the family.

    • Fasty on 14/12/2019 - 15:41

      It's the same price as Spotify, and you get Google Music (Spotify equivalent) and Youtube Originals, and regular Youtube ad free.

      • UndeclaredFreak on 15/12/2019 - 11:46

        I’ve been receiving the pop up on YouTube premium one month free trial, but Everytime I clicked it tried to charge me $19.99 and no mention of the free trial, So I’ve never bothered to try it out,
        It’s 9.99 pm for Spotify Premium and $19.99 pm for YouTube premium.

        Sorry for my ignorance, I’m just really curious , becuse I am interested in these services.

      • docmartin on 17/12/2019 - 14:42

        Regular youtube ad free?

        Is that with youtube premium? I have google play and used to get ad free youtube but not for the last year or two.

    • mathew42 on 16/12/2019 - 08:31

      Can download music (and videos) for off-line play which can save significant data.

      Advert free is also a big winner.

  • usaersatix on 14/12/2019 - 14:18

    I got two member of my family plan and just right after, I'm getting this message "This offer is expired or invalid."

    anyone else?

    • AlienC on 14/12/2019 - 17:54

      Same message here we must be either late or it is targeted or hit and miss.

      Your (insert email address here) account is not eligible for this offer.

      Promotional code offer is provided by Google and subject to the following terms: Offer must be redeemed by 11.59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST) on 6 October 2019. Available only to users who are current paid members of individual plan, student plan and family plan head of household of YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium or Google Play Music on 12 September 2019. Family plan dependents are not eligible. Users must be recurring and active members whose membership is not expiring, pausing or in paused state. Code is valid for one redemption per YouTube Music Premium or YouTube Premium membership

      Not sure how family plan dependents are getting this offer says only the family plan head which I am not are eligible for this offer but there are some comments saying it is working for other family plan members and not just the family plan heads so I don't know.

  • GCSteve on 14/12/2019 - 15:16

    We have five on our family plan. All five accounts were valid.

    • AlienC on 14/12/2019 - 17:59

      But how.

      How long has the family plan been active or around for.

      I just joined one recently I think after the offer was made so that could be why I am not getting it as a family plan dependent and not head.

      • Ash-Say on 15/12/2019 - 04:50

        Did you make account using INR or AUD?

        • AlienC on 15/12/2019 - 18:34

          Joined a YouTube Premium family plan October 6 2019 no idea when they started the plan initially.

          Not sure which currency or country they are using either.

      • Danthemanz on 15/12/2019 - 07:33

        I got 4, all accounts active for minimum 1 year in AUD.
        5th child account couldn’t get it though.

      • GCSteve on 15/12/2019 - 10:47

        We've been on the Family plan for years. All five members were eligible including kids. Tested by adding a sixth member and it was not eligible. The grandfathered pricing and 20% discount Google Play recharge cards make it even better value.

        • reactor-au on 16/12/2019 - 09:29

          Where to get 20% discount gift cards?

          • GCSteve on 16/12/2019 - 18:11

            @reactor-au: Places like Coles or Woolies when they run the promotions. You need to stock up because they don't do 20% as often as 15%.

    • PepePepeson on 14/12/2019 - 19:34

      Can you create a new google account, add to your family, and claim the 6th one?

      • GCSteve on 14/12/2019 - 20:20

        @pepepepeson

        Just tried your suggestion in case anyone was wondering.
        Added an old account to the family, checked it had YouTube premium access, tried the link.
        The response was not eligible.
        Assume it had to have been part of the family before a certain date to qualify.

  • Mgreenhill on 14/12/2019 - 15:44

    From the Youtube support chat:

    "Sorry for the delay on this. I just got an update from our Google Specialist that we have received a lot of reports from other users having the same issue where the error shows as expired."

    The link was expired ~15 minutes ago, but is now back up and running. Redeemed for $0.

      Doesn't track you that well cos its stuck at home :P

      • AlienC on 15/12/2019 - 02:55

        True but I think I talk in my sleep and have a feeling that watching YouTube will trigger the device so I'll end up never using it because it will keep getting triggered.

        Seems like a cool lazy google device though.

        • Hargain Bunter on 15/12/2019 - 21:56

          You have to say Hey Google, or OK Google to trigger it, so shouldn’t be a problem.

  • AlienC on 14/12/2019 - 18:02

    For those not getting it I think I know why not.

    Available only to users who are current paid members of individual plan, student plan and family plan head of household of YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium or Google Play Music on 12 September 2019.

    So if you started your subscription after that date be it a solo subscription or family plan you won't be eligible for this offer.

  • vikvance on 14/12/2019 - 18:23

    A totally free $79 device. Now this is one heck of a good deal. (I'm already an Aussie Youtube Premium subscriber & would have continued to subscribe even if they hadn't given this to me.)

    Thanks OP

    • expertreader on 19/12/2019 - 10:05

      It’s rrp $79… seen available from around $30

      • Miyagi on 19/12/2019 - 10:07

        No one is selling for $30, $40/$45 maybe from private sellers. You are probably confusing it with 1st gen Google Home Mini.

      • rith on 16/12/2019 - 17:31

        Because you can still have a YouTube Premium/Play Music subscription with a Gsuite account?

        • richadam on 16/12/2019 - 17:33

          Right, so someone with a GSuite account and YT Premium isn't eligible. That's a rip off then.

    • crofton77 on 18/12/2019 - 15:46

      So where does it say that in the conditions? their suport says the link should work for me, they never said it's not eligible G Suite which they should be able to tell.

      • rith on 18/12/2019 - 16:03

        I started with a live chat and then moved onto email:

        After they sent me the same link in the OP:

        Hi [support agent],

        Unfortunately I get this message:
        Your [my gsuite email] account is not eligible for this offer.

        According to the conditions, I should be right? Thanks for looking into this for me.

        Their response:

        Hi [rith],

        Sorry to hear about this, I overlooked the fact that you have a different domain. This is just a good to know information though, Gsuite accounts are not eligible for this promotion and this is because Google Nest Mini devices do not support GSuite accounts. But I understand that you have an active subscription that still counts for your eligibility. I've submitted this to our Specialists and we're looking for ways how you can get the promotion.

        Kindly give us at least 24 to 48 hours to investigate this. I'll keep you updated. :) Cheers!

        I'm still waiting to hear back from their "specialists".

        • crofton77 on 18/12/2019 - 17:48

          When I asked, I gave my email and also a screenshot and I got the same "I've submitted this to our Specialists and we're looking for ways how you can get the promotion."

          They came back to me today and said clink and you should be able to get it. It was the same link in this post and does not work so I told them that.

          Nothing in the conditions say anything about G Suite.

          • rith on 18/12/2019 - 17:53

            @crofton77: Looks like we're both in the same boat then.

            • puffinfresh on 19/12/2019 - 00:19

              @rith: I'm in the same boat, except they are yet to tell me that mine isn't working due to G Suite. I just got fobbed off to the in-app feedback button so the person I was dealing with could close the ticket and hope someone else would deal with it.

              It's incorrect that Nest Mini does not support G Suite. I have 4 Google Home devices on my G Suite address and they work fine for everything I do. I believe some things, like calendar events, are not available. However, basic functionality, including YouTube and YouTube Music work fine.

              • rith on 19/12/2019 - 11:53

                @puffinfresh: Yep, I told them the same.

                On the 16th:

                Thanks for the update. That is really disappointing to hear especially as a long-term subscriber - I currently have a Home Mini and it works fine with my Gsuite account (without the calendar integration, but that's supposedly coming soon??).

                Their response, shortly after:

                I understand what you mean and I'm really sorry that things are not going our way for now. But rest assured, I will continue on working with the Specialist for you. Cheers!

                Nothing since then.

                • crofton77 on 19/12/2019 - 13:53

                  @rith: Why can't they just create a code and give us it?

                    @crofton77: They finally realised the reason it wasn't working was due to my Gsuite account, and they said I wasn't eligible. I replied and said the T&C's don't say that, and I pay for YouTube Premium just like others. They ended up sending me a unique code to redeem the free mini.
