Google just announced the Chromecast with Google TV for $99, but a little less known is a deal that allows you to tack on 6 months of Netflix ($95.94 worth of credit) for a grand total of $139.99, bringing the effective price of the Chromecast to $44.05.

Seems to be a long-running deal (through to December 31, 2021).

Tips:

  • If you're a Google One subscriber, you'll get 3% back in store credit if you're on a 200 GB plan, or 10% back in store credit if you're on a 2 TB or higher plan.
  • You can purchase three of these bundles per Google account.
  • The deal is available to both new and existing Netflix subscribers.
  • The 6 months of Netflix offer is based on a Standard plan ($15.99/month). Netflix works off a dollar-based credit model, so if you're on a Basic plan ($10.99/month), you'll actually get 8.73 months worth of credit, but if you're on a Premium plan ($19.99/month), you'll get 4.80 months worth of credit.
  • If you've redeemed the Netflix offer, but end up returning the Chromecast, Google will refund you $99; meaning you'll still have scored $95.94 worth of Netflix credit for $40.99.

Note: Previously out of stock, and now back in stock! If it goes out of stock again, keep refreshing the page as Google has progressively added stock on previous occasions.

    Great deal, just ordered. No-brainer upgrading from a ChromeCast Ultra that I can probably sell for $40-$50 on marketplace

    • digitalane on 01/10/2020 - 09:47

      I've got the 4K Ultra - whats the benefit in the upgrade? Apart from the TV interface (which I doubt I'd use) what else is better?

      • Benjamin7711 on 01/10/2020 - 10:29

        You also get the remote. I guess where it's a no brainer for me is that I'm already paying for Netflix regardless, so getting the new one for $45 and selling the old for probably the same. Free upgrades are always a no brainer 😁

        what if i have a argentinian or turkish netflix based account? can i use the credit for those countries

        • Thrymr on 01/10/2020 - 16:35

          No, the credit is only transferrable between countries if they use the same currency.

    • kirt on 01/10/2020 - 09:42
      +2

      Looks like it's just credit applied to your account, so shouldn't matter what plan you're on:

      "Offer value may be applied to a different Netflix streaming plan under the same account "

      "What happens if I have a different Netflix streaming plan?

      You’ll still receive the credit applied to your account. The monthly cost of your service will be deducted from the balance in your Netflix account."

            @chankaran: Yeah all my cards had issues too, or at least thats what it seemed like at first. It randomly worked for me after repeatedly trying different VPN connections and incognito etc. I dont think it was the cards that were the issue, I suspect Netflix maybe blocked by way of IP ranges or similar, even for VPN providers, as playing around with that is when it (eventually) worked.

                @Korban Dallas: Ideally you can open a Turkish Lira balance and it'll automatically debit from that. If you don't it would do instant conversion from the base currency (AUD) at the usual very good Transferwise rate. To me there's not a major difference other than easier accounting.

                Edit: I just realized I skipped an obvious step: you do have to transfer AUD into your Transferwise account to maintain a balance.

    • digitalane on 01/10/2020 - 09:48

      Looks like it applies a $96 credit, so assuming that works for a non AU account you could get far more than the 6 months….

      • jace88 on 01/10/2020 - 10:12

        Does it work that way even for non AU accounts? I signed up back when I lived in Singapore and never converted to an Australian plan after I repatriated back.

      • Penpinch on 02/10/2020 - 21:05
        +1

        Looks like it might, or it might use Aus pricing as soon as it charges in AUD (the credit is in AUD afterall).

        One way to find out, anybody game to volunteer?

    • pichxlonco on 01/10/2020 - 09:51

      i would assume that in that case, you will get more months of netflix, so if the premium plan is 4.8 months, then you would be getting something like 9.6 or so.

      • tomsco on 01/10/2020 - 10:02
        +1

        I wouldn't expect it to work that way. I would imagine the credit would be in Aussie $ and you could not apply that credit an account with payment registered in another country, although I'm happy to be proven wrong.

    • wfdTamar on 01/10/2020 - 10:16

      Yes, I'm on the Turkish top plan at about A$7.40. If I buy 3 of these that's 3 years worth IF it stacks and IF it can be used for the Turkish plan.

      • TomGum on 01/10/2020 - 10:28

        Do you always have to use a vpn to use it? Or only during signup?

        • wfdTamar on 01/10/2020 - 10:32
          +2

          Only during signup. You also need a credit card that works in foreign currencies. 28 Degrees Mastercard works for me.

          You only need a VPN to get Netflix of a different country for their content, but I don't bother as the Australian is ok. Chasing a VPN that works for that is a pain.

      • Skinnerr on 01/10/2020 - 10:31

          @ $8.40

    • Yankyviking on 01/10/2020 - 10:30

      How much are you paying in another country/currency for Netflix? What’s the process of doing so? Will I need VPN to access the content on my overseas Netflix subscription on my smart tv? I am paying regular Australian price on my Netflix and want to cut that down just like I did with Youtube Premium by signing that up on Youtube India. Thanks

      • wfdTamar on 01/10/2020 - 10:33
        +2

        It varies according to exchange rate, but about A$8-9 for the top plan. Process described in a post above. Then get some other users to share the cost.

      • slingyz on 01/10/2020 - 10:33
        +2

        It ends up being $9.XX per month for a family level plan from memory after conversion. It fluctuates because of currency changes. I can't remember which country I signed up via.

        You only need a VPN to sign up for a particular's country's netflix price. After sign up, you can access Netflix without VPN, but only for their Australian library/content.
        If you want to access overseas shows, you need a VPN but might be a bit slow if your VPN provider isn't good.

        There's another ozbargain thread somewhere in the past that goes through more detail. Do a search and there will be more tips and tricks to help you.

        • Yankyviking on 01/10/2020 - 11:24

          Thanks for the explanation. Since I have an existing Netflix account in Australia, do I need to create a new account to sign up using VPN on Argentinian one or can I just convert that to Argentinian?

            +1

            @Yankyviking: You can convert after your subscription expires. Any AUD credit on your account cannot be applied to the Argentinian account is my understanding, since the currencies are different.

            • Yankyviking on 01/10/2020 - 13:43

              @Poppin: That's great!. I have cancelled my Australian one ($13.99) which will end on Oct 17th and then I will sign up for the Turkish Standard Plan @ 5.41 Australian Dollar (approx).

    • lxstr on 01/10/2020 - 10:38

      This deal would be gold if AUD$96 can be used for foreign currency Netflix accounts. Unfortunately I don't think this is possible as I've looked into Netflix's T&C.

      If I purchase a gift card in one country, can I use it in another country?
      *Yes. You can use a gift card purchased in a different country as long as the gift card is for the same currency as your Netflix bill.

      probably don't need to upgrade if you have no issues and don't use netflix. But if you don't have either and non-smart tv its a good buy.

      I'd say yes because you're getting the Google TV experience as well as all the 4k chromecasting-ness you had before. You don't need another device now to control the CC, just use the remote included.

      It's an Android TV dongle.

      The Chromecast and Ultra were always waiting for a 2nd device to send the stream, ie a Phone, Tablet or PC to connect with the CC dongle.

      Now it's all in one with a remote,

      or HDMI CEC sync for the remote ( if the TV is new enough to have that… It's probably new enough to already have chromecast built in already)

        Are you certain? This is in the terms.

        Chromecast with Google TV requires a TV with an HDMI port, a Wi-Fi network, a Google Account, a nearby electrical socket and a compatible mobile device.

        It also makes no mention of storage size on the device, that I can see?

          You need an mobile device, android or iOS phone to set it up. Has about 4GB space inbuilt to download and install apps. Because it’s USB C, you can plug in an USB C hub and get Ethernet, USB ports for external HDD’s, just make sure you have a powerful USB C power supply. The device leaked about a week ago, people in US have purchased and tested all the features, just check out Reddit to learn about it.

      No.

      Yes - but it doesn't work with ALL Google TV devices. I'm guessing it would on this one, but I'm just guessing - the device is too new to have feedback.

      Foxtel Now box is very limiting - full Google TV experience - do whatever you want with all the apps available for Google TV.

  • haydent on 01/10/2020 - 09:57

    So I've got an old Chromecast and cast from my phone. Does this having a remote and interface mean you don't need the cast (like Apple TV)? If not, then isn't your phone/tablet the control anyways?

    • Shonky on 01/10/2020 - 09:59

      It's actually Android TV which has Chromecast built in. So allows you to run apps directly on the device rather than just cast to them.

      Having a remote is much nicer than getting your phone, unlocking, re-opening app etc.
