If there’s a holiday on the calendar, you can almost guarantee Pokémon Go will have an in-app event to promote the game. With Valentine’s Day less than a week away, Niantic announced today a special Valentine’s Day-themed event for trainers kicking off today through next week.
For Valentine’s Day, Google is offering some Chromecast owners a $6 credit good towards any movie on Google Play. Don’t have a Chromecast yet? You can find a refurbished one at Groupon for $25. We’ve found the offer on our Chromecast players and heard similar reports from several readers, but there’s a chance that Google didn’t extend the promo to everyone. Fire up your Chromecast to see if you’re eligible.
If you’ve never redeemed offers from the Chromecast site before: First, make sure your Chromecast is plugged in and discoverable, then select it from the pull down menu and the offers listed below should appear on screen.
So once you’ve redeemed your free credit offer, take a look at the list of top movies and pick out something for you and your Valentine!

If you happened to miss out on that recent Valentine’s Day sale from Motorola, the company announced on Twitter that it’s offering the Moto X for 1 cent on contract through Verizon or $70 off unlocked. That means you can pick up the 16GB Moto X customized through Moto Maker starting at $329 off contract. The penny deal will require you to sign up to a two-year contract through Verizon, and an additional $50 on either of the deals will bump you up from the 16GB to the 32GB model.
An even better deal is available through Amazon, however, with an additional $100 bill credit for those activating a new Verizon line on-contract. You might also be able to take advantage of that bill credit through Moto Maker for devices activated on Verizon, but there’s no mention of the offer on the site.
