How to check for Chromecast Offers

Are you eligible for Chromecast offers?  The answer is yes if you own at least one Google Chromecast.  From time to time, Google will give Chromecast owners excellent deals on Google Play movie rentals or other services such as Spotify or Hulu.  Follow the guide below to determine if you have any Chromecast offers available.

Prerequisites

Regardless of whether you are checking from your phone or computer, you need to make sure you have completed the following steps before checking for Chromecast offers.  If you don’t, you might have trouble checking for Chromecast offers.

Step 1 – Make sure your Chromecast is powered on

In order to check for Chromecast offers, you need to make sure your Chromecast is powered up.  If you have multiple Chromecasts (even old ones), plug them and get them connected to your TV set.

Step 2 – Verify that you can connect to your Chromecast

Whether you are on your PC or phone, make sure you are able to connect to your Chromecast.  There are a number of ways that you can do this.  The easiest would be to open up the YouTube app on your phone and try to cast a video.  If you are on your PC or Mac, feel free to skip this step as long as your computer is on the same network as your Chromecast.

If you are unable to connect to your Chromecast from your phone, verify that you have WiFi turned on and that you are connected to the same network as the Chromecast.

Check for Chromecast offers from your PC or MAC

Checking for Chromecast offers is fairly simply.  Follow these three steps to check from your PC or MAC.

Step 1 – Install or open Google Chrome

In order to check for eligible offers, you need to be using the Google Chrome web browser.  If you already have it installed on your PC, continue to the next step.  If you don’t, you can download Google Chrome from here.  After you’ve installed Chrome, open it up and continue to the next step.

Step 3 – Redeem your Chromecast Offers

Once Chrome has identified your Chromecasts and checked for offers, you will be prompted to redeem them.  Below is a list of Chromecast offers that I have available for two of my Chromecast devices.  For reference, my Chromecasts are labeled Record Player and Samsung Game Room.  The device labeled Record Player is actually a Chromecast Audio device.

How to check your Chromecast Offers from Android or iOS

Checking for offers from your Android or iOS device is easy to do.  You will need to follow the same prerequisites as you do for checking from your computer.

What are Chromecast Offers?

What are Chromecast offers?

The Chromecast has been out for nearly 4 years and has changed they way we watch TV.  It is currently in it’s third iteration and is now capable of casting videos in beautiful 4k resolution.  One of the hidden gems of owning a Chromecast is that from time to time, Google gives away free stuff!  Each Chromecast device that you own is eligible for Chromecast offers.

What sort of Chromecast offers are there?

Throughout it’s lifespan, there have been many different free items available from Google.  From a free 3 month trial of Play Music, to just simply giving away free movies.  We’ve seen Google giveaway $20 in play credit and free Hulu trials.  The Chromecast offers can vary from time to time and you just never know what Google is going to giveaway next.

Are all of my Chromecast devices eligible for offers?

The short answer is yes but it depends on the offer.  Offers that give you some sort of credit can typically be redeemed on multiple Chromecast devices.  If you are signing up for a free trial for something such as Play music or Netflix, then you will only be able to redeem the Chromecast offer from one device.  If you have already signed up for one of these services in the past, most likely you won’t be eligible to redeem the offer as well.



Do competing devices have a similar program?

Most Chromecast competitors don’t have an offer program like the Chromecast does.  If you own an Amazon FireTV product, then from time to time Amazon will offer discounts on certain goods purchased from Amazon.com when ordered through your FireTV.  In order to take advantage of these offers, you will most likely need an Amazon prime subscription.
