Google Hands Out $6 Play Store Credit For Chromecast Owners
Planning to stay in for Valentine’s Day? If you have a Chromecast TV dongle, Google is willing to cover the cost of your movie rental for the night. The Valentine’s Day gift comes in the form of a $6 credit you can use for a movie (or anything else) on Google’s Play Store.
Cashing in on Google’s Valentine’s Day largess is easy. Visit the Chromecast Offers page, select the $6 deal, and you’ll soon be shopping at the Play Store. A deal like this is a great way to get Chromecast users talking to friends and family about the device, so it makes sense that Google would give it a try, but the timing makes one wonder if Google is feeling some pressure from the Vudu Spark TV stick.
Walmart is selling the stick for $24.95, which is cheaper than the Chromecast, and it’s offering $5 credits for the first five months. Of course, the Vudu Spark needs a low price to get traction – it doesn’t support other services like Netflix (as the Chromecast does).
So go get your $6 credit, kick back with (or without) your Valentine, and enjoy a movie on Google. There are certainly worse ways to spend the holiday.
