You can use your credit to subscribe to The Times for €5 a month which includes the daily papers and sunday times Irish versions. Also get reduced cinema (similar to 3 app) and a free movie rental, free audiobook (both rakuten) and free e book (kindle) each month. Not bad.

Thanks for this info, and your instructions in the later post, but I'm seeing 6 euro per week, 26 per month!

That's probably the Irish times, this is the UK times Irish version.

No, definitely "The Times & The Sunday Times"

That's the wrong one.
Times & ST: Ireland edition is the one you want.

Ah, thanks - I didn't realise from sweetie's posts that there was a seperate app for the Irish editions

Don't know if it's been mentioned before. But you can use your Vodafone or Three credit for Ancestry.com.
Have been a member for a while but not a paid up member as only sign up when there's free trial offers or weekends sometimes.
Was browsing on it this evening and was going to sign up for a new free trial and the option came up to use Vodafone credit.
Checked on the Three phone and option came up to use the Three credit also.

I didn't go through with it as I won't have a lot of spare time to get the best out it at moment. So plant to do it next week

Ancestry have no record I even exist.

It would be good if Ancestry.com let you buy the DNA kit with excess credit. I've buckets of it.

Any other ways of buying kindle books other than the Irish Times subscription?

You can buy books using credit off Google play and read them via the play books app
But yeah the play books store isn't great to be honest

Sometimes if a book is on sale on Kindle it's also reduced on the play store

I find the play store very expensive... But if it's excess credit it doesn't matter much

mrcheez · 30-05-2019 08:50AM

Do you still need to manually convert Play Store books to read them on Kindle?

If someone could post the method that'd be great!

Discodog · 30-05-2019 09:11AM

I remember this being mentioned before but can you pay for Nord or Express vpn using 3 credit?

Did a quick Google there, and it seems you still have to convert them manually using a tool like "Calibre", but the books themselves have DRM protection which has to be removed by a plugin for Calibre called DeDRM

Seems a lot of hassle... I think I'll just bide my time with my credit until we can buy PSN credit using our phone credit again (if ever!)

Express VPN using 3 credit was expensive enough. But they stopped the option to pay using 3 credit in November I think. I use winscribe now

Haven't tried it, but it looks like you can buy a Crunchyroll (legal anime streaming app) premium subscription using credit now

[What's New]:- Crunchyroll(v2.4.0)

[+] Now you can use your Google Play account to subscribe to Crunchyroll Premium!

€7/month

Blacktie. · 06-06-2019 05:27PM

Anyone know can you subscribe to YouTube premium with credit? I have Google music but wouldn't mind upgrading for a few euro more.

Great thanks. Must just not be able to do it on the phone or in another country. I'll try again when I'm home.

wotzgoingon · 06-06-2019 08:30PM

Have you a dual SIM phone as I had that problem and removed the non three sim and was able to order then.

Thanks for the heads up re: YT Premium, got a two month free trial and it will be taken from my credit thereafter.

I'm sure it's been asked a few times, but what are the general benefits for YouTube premium?

Just offline streaming?

No ads, downloads, play in the background (as an aside, if thats not enough to entice you to use credit, check out Youtube Vanced - this plays in the background)
