IMO, these are limited in what I originally thought it could do. Doesn't really work with passive speakers but can work great if you have active speakers or cut the cord to the receiver. Hoping to see what else it can do later on.
^ GGLONG yes, and I actually just bought 2 at Costco with that same deal recently.
Interestingly it reads in that sale: "Includes a Digital Downloadable $6 Google Play Credit for each Chromecast".
I'm guessing Google just recently decided to increase the credit to $20/Chromecast - which makes these a real bargain. I'll be activating mine soon, to confirm that.
majbrownman: Note that there are now 2 versions of the Chromecast: the Video/HDMI version, and the Chromecast Audio, which is designed to work with active speakers or an amplifier. Details here: https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/chromecast/

What are you talking about? Are you thinking of Chromecast Audio which is a different product?
note, some outlets are reporting that you cannot, on the same account, get $20 credits:
"EDIT 2: We originally thought you could buy two Chromecasts and get $20 for each device, but Google says you are limited to "one per Google Payment account." Full terms here."
this is misleading. I just bought this from costco and when i tried to redeem it, I can only redeem $6 credit per device not $20. To qualify for the $20 credit, you have to purchase it from the google store.

Wouldn't you be able to visit the same link OP posted for the $20 dollar credit on this one?
Wonder why Costco's page currently only says "$6 Google Play Credit for each Chromecast"

Tried to redeem using the chromecast app but it says $6 play credits instead. Anybody knows how to redeem $20?

I'm going to return mine, it's not a good deal with just the $12 refund. I should have done the deal.
Thank you!
