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.

          I was about to edit my above comment with………..Does your TV USB give 5V/2A output. If not then not likely.

          • OhNoUShiz on 10/10/2020 - 23:45

            @Borg: Isnt 5v/2a a standard output for any usb port on tv?

            • Borg on 11/10/2020 - 00:29
              +2

              @OhNoUShiz: No I dont believe so and may depend on your TV.
              USB2 or 3 is usually 5V but Amps are low often under 1amp and only between 500mAh to 800mAh. In turn not enough grunt to power most players which usually require a good 1.5 to 2Amps (5V/2.5amp is ideal) hence the need to use a power supply.
              Not sure if latest TV's offer better output. Best check your TV.

              If asking about this device, this article (& the comments) covers a little info:

  • ozbargain2019 on 10/10/2020 - 09:59

    Why is google basically giving away free money allowing people to return the chromecast? Am I missing something?

    • Borg on 10/10/2020 - 10:22

      You mean if one returns (after redeeming Netflix Offer), that they still refund you $99 and in turn you gain $40.99 of Netflix Credit for free?

      My guess will be along the lines of:
      - Most people do not buy with the intention of returning (perhaps some OZB do because they are bored).
      - The deal would be a combined Google & Netflix loss and keep in mind the device doesn't cost Google $99 to make.
      - The extra sales that they do make by these types of incentives most likely would absorb any returned items by:
      Netflix gaining new customers & Google getting more people into their Eco systems which means more Ad revenue.

      It's a marketing thing which usually balances itself out. In the long term both gain more customers which means more long term revenue.

      Oh……….and then there is the "Word of Mouth" extra sales that these promo's attract. I for one would not have purchased had the Promo not existed as it would not have shown up on OzB, I was in the market for one so one extra sale for them thanks to Ozb.

  • Yoomes Bond on 10/10/2020 - 13:12

    • Borg on 10/10/2020 - 13:25
      +1

      Yes and especially if you are a Netflix subscriber as it means that your are only paying $44.05 for it when all said and done.
      The Gen1 is very sluggish and not supported well for certain things (Kayo is just an example). Gen 2 is better but this is like the Ultra. Comes down to what you use it for. Gen1 is still fine for some streaming.

  • Tiggrrrrr on 10/10/2020 - 19:14

    Was going to pull the trigger on this until I saw it said delivery Dec 10-11.

    Has anyone ordered this and received it? Or got an earlier delivery estimate?

    Also, is the Netflix credit sent first? So you can use it straight away.

    • easternculture on 10/10/2020 - 19:36

      Mine is due delivery end of the month

      You have to redeem the netflix credit via the chromecast so im thinking its tied to the serial number of the chromecast

      • petry on 10/10/2020 - 19:43

        google authorise the credit and so when its used they automatically limit any refund sought on the serial number

    • Noctusxv8 on 11/10/2020 - 11:18

      I still pay that as well. I have alot of credit in my account and the other plans are the new price. Maybe when the credit runs out it will go up??

    • Arcticfox on 11/10/2020 - 11:46

      From what I have found on the www, your current credit will give you the equivalent months at the price you purchased it at the time. Once that ends, you will start paying the increased cost of $15.99 per month.

      Those of us still paying $13.99 will be getting the increase with the next 2-3 pay cycles apparently.

  • Riker88 on 11/10/2020 - 14:18

  • itsmehuey on 12/10/2020 - 16:00

    Would anyone recommend purchasing this for use with an actual SmartTV (e.g. LG with WebOS) that actually has majority of the apps? Would there be anything different/additional that the CC with GTV could do that these current/new line up of SmartTV's could do?

    • moonphase on 12/10/2020 - 22:13

      No. It's just Android TV set-top box in a nutshell. If you have smartTV that has Netflix, YouTube etc, no reason to get this.

      • sarakoth on 13/10/2020 - 22:10

        Well I know I can't get Kayo on the LG natively so have to use Chromecast and my v1 doesn't support 1080p so I have grabbed this deal… sure Netflix, Prime and others are on LG already.

        • isthisreallife22 on 19/10/2020 - 23:27

          I had a Telstra TV2 (Roku) before I upgraded to my LG WebOS OLED. I tend to do all of this in a week:

          • Use the WebOS apps for Netflix, Stan, Foxtel Now, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, Plex, Apple TV (new WebOS app), Optus Sport (new WebOS app), Youtube, 9Now, ABC iView

          • Use Telstra TV for Kayo, Binge, 10Play

          • I also have an older Chromecast that I use to cast Optus Sport (until the WebOS app was released recently) and even mirror my Android screen for a treadmill iFit app I have

          Long story, I get use from all of them, but mainly use the WebOS apps where possible

          One slight advantage I find is that if for whatever reason network signal is faltering on the LG, I can usually switch back to the Chromecast or Roku and get some kind of signal. Weird but useful

        I found this advice elsewhere:

        "I did a factory reset by holding the button on the Chromecast for about 30 seconds. I also restarted my router which may have been the first thing that I should have done. Anyway, it did a factory reset then started working properly."

      • lucyrenegade on 15/10/2020 - 15:44

          Thanks everyone for the advice - going through troubleshooting with Google now as the factory reset didn't work.
          lucycat, did you manage to connect to 5GHz when you did that? It only lets me connect to 2.4GHz if I ignore the message then it gives another message about disabling AP or something. So weird how this doesn't seem to work straight out of the box.

          • lucyrenegade on 15/10/2020 - 16:42

            @pe arl: Yep, I didn't have any issues connecting to 5ghz.

            Could you troubleshoot by using another wifi or even a hotspot to see what happens?

              @lucyrenegade: Tried but didn't work unfortunately :( After 2-3 hours troubleshooting with Google support and being unable to connect to 5Ghz I've finally given up and requested a return… I think this is a fairly common issue but no clear answers online.

                Could you try changing your wifi channel?

                I just checked again and it's still not picking up my wifi on channel 153. If you're near Indooroopilly QLD then I am happy to try help troubleshoot in person.

Fixed all my issues. THANK YOU!!! You've saved me from a frustrating returns process. I just wonder why none of the reps I spoke to suggested this.

                    Changing your wifi channel could affect the quality of your network speed. If you don't notice anything, then I guess you don't have to worry about it. Otherwise find a channel that maximizes speed while also keeping it compatible with the Google tv.

      The email you used to signin to the chromecast gets an email to redeem the Netflix offer.

      You click the redeem now button in the email, sign into an existing account or create a new one, then apply the credit to the account ~$95 worth.

      I have an AU Netflix account so no idea if you can sign in to an overseas account. Also when I signed in, it errored twice. Refreshed the page and I was able to apply the credit.

      3 - The remote does not work with Kogan TV's, well it is not listed on the list of TV's

      You mean to use it to turn TV on/off and select source?

      • czechboi on 20/10/2020 - 09:22

        Yeah, when setting up the remote to control volume on the TV etc. Kogan is not listed in the brands.

        • superforever on 20/10/2020 - 09:26

          OK, Kogan not a known brand.

          BTW, I assume the remote is both wireless & infrared, right? Because the Chromecast TV stay at the back of the TV.

            @superforever: Nah,not a known brand but there are also some random name brands in the list the give you LOL.

            Not sure about the remote but I am going to try and hook it up to my Harmony

              @czechboi: Going to update some of my points

              Have been able to install Kayo for Android TV and Optus Sport for Android TV by going through the playstore on a web browser

              NBA for Android TV is region locked but the regular NBA app can be installed by going through the play store on a web browser

              SBS on Demand can also be installed by the same method as above

      2 - For some reason it will not see my 5GHz wifi network. Apparently this is a known issue already that Google is working on fixing:

      I read on previous comments that this could be related to the channel used by your 5GHz Wi-Fi network. Check your router settings and try to change this channel until the Chromecast can detect it.

      This would not affect the configuration of other devices in your network; though it might affect the overall network speed.

      Are you able to download the Foxtel Now / Foxtel Go app in the Chromecast and check if it works?

      Cheers,
