Google is giving away a nice Valentine gift to Chromecast owners by offering $6 worth of credit. This can be used to pick a movie or two from Google Play which they can enjoy watching on Valentine's Day. Residents from the UK are getting it for £5.
Chromecast owners can claim the special offer from the Google website. When checking it out, owners should make sure that they are on the same Wi-Fi network as their Chromecast and that they have turned on their dongle. In the next stage, they can start choosing which movie or movies they would like to rent and watch with their date on Valentine's Day.
For those who have never redeemed any offer from the Chromecast site even in the past and are thinking about redeeming the current $6 credit offer, they need to make sure that their dongle is plugged in and can be easily discovered. They should be able to find their Chromecast from the pull down menu and be able to view the number of offers appearing on their screen.
Once the free credit offer is redeemed, Chromecast owners can begin to take a look at the top movies in the list and start choosing. Some of the available offers that they can choose from include the first "X-men" movie, the new "EPIX Presents: Road to the NHL Winter Classic" series which comes with EPIX Free Trial, free 3 months of DramaFever Premium and 90 days of free unlimited music from Google Play.
Chromecast is now one of the most popular streaming media devices worldwide and the number one streaming device in the U.S. It is now available in 27 countries with more to be added to the list in 2015. The usage per device rate has increased by as much as 60 percent since the day it was launched which can be attributed to its growing number of new apps and features.
Last month, Google has launched the "Google Cast for Audio" which brings the same technology found in Chromecast into the users' sound bars, speakers and A/V receivers. Music and radio app can now be easily streamed into one's Android or iOS device or into the web.
While the $6 free credit offer from Google Chromecast is meant for those who are celebrating their Valentine's day with a special someone, it may be safe to assume that the offer can also be good for those who are spending their Valentine's day alone. The offer is also good for every Chromecast dongle which means that owners can actually get twice the free credit when they have two Chromecast devices.
