I was just checking out the Chromecast on the BestBuy website and noticed for the first time that the Netflix 3-Month Trial Offer is no longer listed on the right side of the page under the "Offers"/"Promos" sub-heading...or whatever that sub-heading was called lol Did that NetFlix Trial Offer end or something? What's the deal? This is the first I've seen this. It may have been this way for several days now...I just haven't been aware of it until now! I posted a screenshot from my pc and circled in green where it usually is located...
everyone has known that it would be gone by the end of the month. I guess they just pulled it a couple days early. It was never meant to be a long time offer. Google pulled the plug after a few days at most
Google pulled the offer the day after release. I was lucky Best Buy was still honoring the offer weeks after release.

I bought the Chromecast last weekend at a Best Buy in Brentwood, Mo and got the three months free Netflix.
Bought mine today at best buy and didn't get it. Sure would of been nice.

Bought mine from the Google play store on day one and got it. They did pull the offer the next day though.

Ordered mine a couple of days ago from BestBuy online and got the 3 months free. Code came via email a couple of hours after purchase.

The deal is not valid anymore. If it was, the Netflix gift code would be on your receipt and emailed to you (the register will ask for your email when a Netflix code is given).
Got mine 2 weeks ago from best buy. Com and I was emailed the code still.

I ordered my Chromecast on launch day from Amazon, and I got the confirmation e-mail at 1:48 PM Pacific Time. I wish I had taken a screenshot when I added it to the cart, as it still listed the Netflix promo.
Anyway the order shipped the same day but no Netflix code. I have a support ticket open with Amazon but they still haven't been able to resolve it. They are not sure whether I qualify.
So I just wanted to check - did anyone who ordered Chromecast from Amazon get the Netflix promo as promised? If you did (or did not), please report here and give the date/time/time zone of your first order confirmation e-mail.
I ordered mine yesterday at 3:48pm CT and didn't get an email with the Netflix code. I remember reading somewhere that we have to wait a few days before we get the email.

OK post the link here if you can find the source.
I read that Best Buy and Google Play purchases of the Chromecast yielded a promo code upon shipping (or in-store at BB).
I ordered from Amazon, and no code yet. I think if you ordered yesterday, then you are fine. Today, not so much.
I have a support ticket in with amazon, I'll keep you updated with anything I learn

I ordered mine for in store pickup at best buy. My order said it would be emailed, I've yet to receive it. Even if I don't get it I honestly don't care that much. It's annoying but oh well.
Amazon now tells me the Netflix codes should come by email one week after shipping.

Thank you for your recent Chromecast purchase. Your purchase has qualified you to receive a 3-month Netflix gift code. Your code will be emailed to you 5 days after your Chromecast ships.
Edit: They just sent the code less than 10 minutes after getting the above email!

got my code today about 5 minutes after the notification email. Ordered release day around 430-5pm EST.

Well that ends that if you don't have one yet, but at least you'll get the 3 months free if you were able to squeeze an order in somewhere. I got one today, and I'll tell you it's completely worth buying even without the Netflix.
The people that ordered it yesterday should be fine with getting the promo code.
I already got my code and my chromecast will be here in the morning
I ordered from Amazon and it will be here tomorrow but I still don't understand how I go about getting the code. I was not sent one when the device shipped.

Strange, i placed mine at 3pm pst with 2day shipping via prime. However when I placed it, it said preorder. Is that what yours said?
I'm look now and it says that it's out of stock. So I believe I got my order in before they went out of stock.

No mine went through like normal and has already shipped and will be here tomorrow via two day prime.
I ordered mine yesterday afternoon Wednesday (PST) on Amazon, paid $3.99 for overnight, got it this morning. I haven't received any code from Amazon.
But I will say that Netflix is stunning! Quality is as good as Bluray.

When I placed the order, it showed the item in stock and not the pre-order button. My friend who bought one about 30 minutes sooner than I did (also from Amazon) had his ship out a few hours earlier today than mine did.
Amazon told me that the Netflix code should arrive by e-mail one week after the dongle ships out.
Best Buy is still apparently giving 3 free months of NetFlix when you buy a Chromecast, at least according to their website they are.
I bought my Chromecast at BestBuy at like 9pm last night and still got the Netflix code, which I activated the code around 1am this morning. So it still seemed to be working as of this morning.
Ordered my chromecast (2 actually) from google play. Once they shipped I received a separate email with the two Netflix codes. They say you can apply the code to a new or existing account. But it also says lower in the email that only one promotional code is valid per Netflix account. Guess I will have to create one new account and cancel after the three months.

Same here, right down to the 2 units. LOL. I wonder if you can apply the code to an existing account? You could open a new account with the one month free trial, apply the code and then get 4 months.
I just picked one up at Best Buy and they still have the Netflix deal going. Just got my promo code by email.
How does this work if you already have a Netflix account? I currently have a 2 dvd & streaming account. Will they take it off my next bill?
I'm trying to figure out how I would see this discount?

You go into Netflix's "Your Account" and in the "Redeem gift or special offer" box you put in the code and it will give you a credit of 23.97. I'm pretty sure the free 3 Months is only counting the online streaming, but I only have online streaming so I could be wrong.
quite disappointing, i hope this isnt true!
Back in stock at best buy online and stores are getting shipments (two local stores to me have gotten two shipments of 5-10 each this week) - though they sold out within minutes..
But ordered from best buy and it still lists Netflix and on the order has Netflix listed as its own sku.
Hopefully it's still valid

Got my second one. Can't be this deal. 24 dollars on Netflix account is well worth it.

I just got my 2nd one today from in store best buy and got another Netflix code.
Does anyone know if you can combine the codes for 6 months? It seems as though you would since the code says it applies credit to your account, so redeeming another code should just add more credit to the account.

Thanks for the heads up.
even going into the store, some employees didn't know it came in. the door person said they didn't have any. the TV section guy said they didn't have any. walked by an aisle and saw a display of them.
if you're close enough, waste the gas to drive and check yourself.
So I was luckily able to buy a Nex 6 from Motorola a few weeks ago. I did notice today though on the play store page for the Nex 6 you get benefits such as free Google play all access for 6 months. So does the one I bought from Motorola receive these things or not?
I did the same I would like to know as well.

No but one plus is that you can buy motocare insurance which is pretty cheap as far as insurance goes.

I got mine from motorola today, I can confirm that you get 6 months play access free, as well as the free movie download (gravity) and a free e-book. I also plan on buying motocare, it's $139 up front for 2 years and allows 3 replacements for $39 a pop.
edit: this does not apply if you are already a subscriber or, I believe, have used the other free month trial.

Oh I was already a subscriber so maybe that's why I didn't get it.
Did anyone get their codes for the $50 Play Store credit? I purchased mine from Sprint and I'm still waiting for the txt msg w/ code.
Got my order in the following Monday and nothing as of yet. Probably when the phone ships.

How long did u wait?
I got mine this past Friday, the 5th.
I believe to get the code, you have to open the email titled "Welcome to your new Nexus 6" from Google Nexus, and click the link taking you to the Play Store. It's what I did, and when I did it on my mother's phone, she got her code the next day. Don't know if it's coincidence, but it's worth trying.
Did anyone get their Sprint phone from elsewhere and still get the credit? I bought mine at BestBuy cyber Monday and haven't gotten an email. Am I hosed since I didn't buy direct from Sprint? Lol

Pretty sure I saw it in the terms and conditions that it will be emailed once it ships.
