As people surmised, Google is putting a little more effort to promote and market their new Chromecasts, especially this Christmas season. We have new video ads that try to tempt you to get one (or two), a pretty good package deal for both the 2nd gen Chromecast and the Chromecast Audio, and now, Google is offering $20 in credit which you can use to buy stuff you can stream using your dongle.
While getting the Chromecast for just $35 is already a nice enough proposition (if you’re thinking of trying this whole casting and streaming thing), Google wants to sweeten the deal by giving everyone who buys a new Chromecast or Chromecast Audio $20 worth of credit on the Google Play Store. This doesn’t sound much, but it will allow you to buy a couple of movies, TV shows, and even apps, which you can then cast onto your bigger screen using the Chromecast.
You can actually use your GPS credit for things that cannot be casted like ebooks, magazines, etc. As long as what you’re buying is found at the Play Store and as long as your credit doesn’t run out, then you’re good to go. So it’s a good bonus for you, especially if you don’t like spending any money on digital purchases.
This $20 credit is on top of another ongoing deal they have, which is paying just $55 to get two Chromecasts (either the same kind or one of each). This will save you %15, plus you get $20 worth of stuff from GPS. The $20 credit for new purchases will run until January 2, 2016.
