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

    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

    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

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

    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

    https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/2012/09/10/calibre-plugins-the-simplest-option-for-removing-most-ebook-drm/


    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

    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)
