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 just changed the channel as suggested here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/9459559/redir

          …and it now works perfectly.

          Have to change the setting on by logging on to your router 5ghz wireless channel.

        • joshr1pp3r on 27/10/2020 - 13:49

          2 week grace period doesn't matter. If 5ghz doesn't work that means it's not fit for purpose and you are covered by Australian consumer law

    cheers. just ordered one.

    I've only made the change from appleTV to chromecast recently and miss having a remote, especially for the kids who don't have phones handy to browse content. 4K will come in handy too one day, if my plasma TV ever dies.

  • G-rig on 28/10/2020 - 12:06

    ^Agree would be nice to leave the phone alone and use the remote.
    I'm still keen to get one, not totally necessary but the voice commands may be handy and my 2015 bravia android TV can get a bit sluggish/clunky at times. Google home can't power it off either.

    Wonder why the estimated delivery time is a month longer for the netflix bundle than for just the $99 device?

    May have to bite the bullet and order one soon, just tested asking to play a netflix show on a device via google home:
    "Sorry, i can't play netflix on Android TV yet. Try using your Android TV remote instead.

    I suppose it would work with this chromecast, or do you need to press the button on google tv remote then talk?
    Currently can't turn the tv off either, thinking the hdmi/chromecast may be able to with the audio return tv input?

        • G-rig on 28/10/2020 - 22:17

          Yeah if you're not in a rush it's prob a better deal
          Still don't know why the non bundle ones are like 2 days delivery time and the Netflix ones are a month. Must stores don't have stock i guess.

          • Borg on 28/10/2020 - 22:29

            @G-rig: I agree, that part makes no sense at all and whether it be the Netflix or the Google Credit deal, both are virtual codes. It's not as though they ship a Voucher or that packaging is any different to the Stand alone product! The only thing I can think of is that they have to link the devices to a code/account prior to shipping?

    Hmm The Good Guys have $40 redemption when spend over $200 (plus 3% cashrewards), may be worth getting one there if you need something else. The Google one may be a while and could return anyway (ends today I believe).

  • impoze on 30/10/2020 - 10:32

    just a heads up that that the payment gets charged by Google London, so you might get stung with an international fee.

    I had to request Citibank to reverse it because it doesn't get shown anywhere.

    • Borg on 30/10/2020 - 14:00

      Interesting and will certainly watch for that and be questioning it if that occurred. I have purchased from Google in the past and was AU$ and no FX rates or fees.

    • DoesntEvenMatter on 31/10/2020 - 12:50

      You are still paying in $AU. If you didn't then your account probably isn't set to Australia or something. I didnt extra charged

      • Ramrunner on 02/11/2020 - 18:12

        That's not the point - other countries charge in AUD, but because they are not based in Australia, your bank can and usually will charge a transfer (XFR) fee.

        It happened to me as Google Reseller when they were invoicing out of Ireland, and I suspect this is also the case here.

        VERY annoying. I believe if big multinationals want to charge AUD from overseas, it should be THEM wearing the XFR fee, not us.

            @DoesntEvenMatter: Well you obviously you do as you made a reply :)

            My point is it has nothing to do with how your account is set - there's really nothing you can do if a supplier is overseas and you bank charges international transfer fees.

            I'm with CBA and I get charged and obviously Citibank mentioned above does. The bank you're with does not. That is good I believe banks make enough money without charging these little stupid fees.

            It might pay for you to let us know which bank your card is with, then we know for future which banks don't charge stupid fees. Could be helpful.

            Thanks.

  • oxblood8 on 30/10/2020 - 15:39

    I asked this one over on Whirlpool (no response as yet).

    Hey all

    Interested in picking up one of these devices. Just a quick question. Have watched a couple YT vids that suggested you could control the volume of a soundbar.

    However, I have an old home theater amp when I say old I mean old, a Denon from around 2005 (doesnt have HDMI so no CEC).

    Can the remote learn functions so that it could turn the amp on and control the volume on the amp? Pretty much like a logitech remote would do.

    If someone could check the devices it supports the amp is a Denon AVR-3805.

    Cheers

    • Borg on 30/10/2020 - 18:52

      No, it is not a Smart remote that one can program commands like Logitech ones. In fact if anything, and if you have a Logitech, I would recommend using it and sticking the Chrome cast remote back in the box unless you plan on using the "Hey Google" feature on it?.

    Although barely need this device, probably a lot less annoying than the android TV - the wifi connection and Netflix/ apps play up a bit.

    Long delivery time, thinking of getting on locally if I can negotiate the price down and return the Google store device ( unused). Is it free return shipping? Just want to make sure I can capture price drops with the 28 degrees card and bit sure if can with the bundle.

    Mine got delivered today. I thought they include the Netflix credit as a physical voucher/card so it took me a while searching the box before realising the credit is sent via email once the setup is completed.

    The Netflix credit is valid only to the email that is used to set up the chromecast and this email must also be the same email that you use to log in Netflix, so please take note if your google account is different from Netflix account.

    • joshr1pp3r on 10/11/2020 - 21:50

      Wait really? That's dumb. So I got to set it up with the Netflix email then reset it with my actual email

    • Borg on 10/11/2020 - 22:05
      +6

      You CAN use the Netflix credit on ANY account, It does not have to be the same as your Chromecast account.

      How to receive and use the voucher.
      - 1 Setup your Device and whatever account you use to initially set it up on will receive the Netflix Voucher to. It might take an hour to get it.
      - 2 Click on the link within the email and it will ask you to log into your account (the same as used when setting up your device. That's fine.
      - 3 You will now be asked to either "Setup a Newc OR "Sign into EXISTING" Netfix account.

      I can confirm above as did it earlier and applied the credit to a friends Netflix account who in turn gave me the cash.

        Ah I see. Thank you. I've misunderstood the below troubleshooting from Google as I assume "redeem" happens after the Netflix log in

        "What if an error message appears after I select "Redeem now"?

        You might get one of these error messages:

        “The signed in account isn’t eligible for this offer. Sign in with the account used to set up your Chromecast with Google TV. ” This message means that you’re not signed into the account you used to set up the Chromecast. On your web browser, try signing in with the account used to set up your Chromecast with Google TV."

        Sorry for the wrong info guys. All makes sense now.

        • Borg on 11/11/2020 - 00:20

          It's a good point you make there and one I brought up with Google Support of which they could not answer.
          So to save others the worry or doubt. Alll is well and you CAN use it on any account.

          • mattelinc on 11/11/2020 - 21:07

            @Borg: I jumped the gun and purchased one without the Netflix offer. I am using it.

            I also then ordered one with the Netflix offer once it became available.

            I want to redeem the Netflix offer and return the second device.

            Would I be able to set it up on my current device? Or must I remove the new one from its box, do the Netflix set up and then return it?

            • DoesntEvenMatter on 11/11/2020 - 22:43

              @mattelinc: You need to use the new one. It's tied to the serial number. Once you log into your Netflix account on the chromcast with Netflix offer you get a emailed pushed to redeem the credit

              • mattelinc on 13/11/2020 - 17:16

              • Borg on 13/11/2020 - 17:37

                @DoesntEvenMatter: Not quiet true. One does not need to log into Netflix at all on the new device to get the Voucher.
                It by default (the voucher email) is sent to the (Google) account that you associated with the Device.

                You can then use/register this Voucher on any Netflix account or device. Hope that makes sense.

                • DoesntEvenMatter on 13/11/2020 - 17:50

                  @Borg: Well I have 2 of them I only got the link to redeem the voucher once I signed into Netflix. Sooo its my take and experience on it

                    To perhaps save confusion for others. Even if you do log into Netflix on your Device, that's fine. One does not have to apply the voucher (once received via email) to that Netflix account. Just click on the link supplied on the email and it will ask you to log into your Google Account that you registered the device on. Once logged in, you will be prompted to choose:
                    - Create a New Netflix Account and use the voucher/credit on to it
                    Or
                    - Sign into a preferred existing Netflix Account (can be any) and apply it there.

                      @Borg: Possible reason could be is that my email for the chromcast and that for Netflix isn't the same. But when I set them up I waited for the code then looked through paperwork for one and nothing come through till the sign in or opening of Netflix app

    No Dolby vision on this box on Netflix.

    • G-rig on 13/11/2020 - 05:55

      Assume you need a Netflix HDv subscription for Dolby Atmos? This soundbar apparently has it and got the gtv plugged into the HDMI input. Doubt your really hear much difference on these all in one speakers, people worried about that should probably have a proper surround sound system. The content has to broadcast it, not sure how many titles have it on Netflix.

      • Ramrunner on 13/11/2020 - 18:57

        Dolby Vision? Quite a few it seems. Most of the newer series I'm watching all come up with Dolby Vision on the menu and the LG OLED recognizes them top right corner by displaying the logo when I start the playback.

    • Borg on 12/11/2020 - 19:01

      Total should be $139.99 inc gst.

      • wesker on 12/11/2020 - 21:42

        The checkout page now shows $139.99 without GST. Anyone ordered paid more than $139.99 so far?

        • Borg on 12/11/2020 - 22:47

          Interesting.I added one to cart to check and went to check out. I see what you mean, it now adds GST making total $153.99
          My invoice for origial order in Oct is $139.99 and shows includes $12.73 GST. Mmm, strange indeed.
          Wonder did they stuff up and forget to add GST to all origial orders. Might be worth calling or chatting with them to ask?

            @Borg: Looks like it's fixed now, back to $239.99 tax included.

              @wesker: What a bargain! /s

            • Borg on 13/11/2020 - 10:15

              @wesker: back to "$239.99"…………….I hope not :-)
              Good to see that they sorted the issue though. $139.99 now shows as incl GST.

                @Borg: Oops, just noticed the typo.

    I had to apply a change of address for my order, and the google store placed yet another authorization on my paypal account, apparently the account hasn't been charged yet but it's weird that they place two different charges for the same order.

    For those with a Kogan TV, which brand of TV do you use to enable the google remote to control the TV?

      • superforever on 17/11/2020 - 09:36

        No idea, waiting for stock may be.

  • mcargy08 on 17/11/2020 - 16:36

      Ordered Oct 29, still no dispatch updates.
      Ended up buying one anyway, so will have to send it back (but keep the NF credit for my troubles)

      • mcargy08 on 17/11/2020 - 21:49

          • mcargy08 on 19/11/2020 - 09:27

            @superforever: Contacted Google, and found out there was an issue with my order. So there has been a delay. Still not dispatched for me as of today.
