In case you need any more motivation to pick up an HTC EVO 4G LTE, HTC recently announced on its Facebook page that it’s giving away $25 worth of credit in its HTC Watch video store to anyone who activates the service on their device. Straight from the horse’s mouth:
Planning to pick up the new EVO 4G LTE on Sprint? Good news for movie buffs. For a limited time receive a $25 HTC Watch credit on your new phone to stream your favorites! http://bit.ly/IqvUjV
It’s not clear when this offer will expire, and whether it’s good for new and existing HTC Watch customers. To be on the safe side, I went ahead and created a new HTC Watch account with one of my disposable email addresses, and lo and behold, the $25 credit appeared. (Note: the image below is my balance after one movie rental.)
The only catch I’ve noticed is that this credit can only be used on movie or TV show rentals, not purchases. This wouldn’t be a problem normally, but the selection of titles available for rent is significantly smaller than the selection available for purchase. There’s also no easy way I’ve found to sort titles that are rent-only.
Also, some people have encountered problems with rooted devices, even after temporarily unrooting. YMMV.
Still, free money is free money, and this will definitely help out on my next long roadtrip or plane ride.

With “Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies” for $15 in their top 10 you know the selection is… yeah… an Asylum ripoff in the top 10…
Price point is pretty foul actually…
What is the redemption code?
Clicked on both links. There is no redemptions code. How do you get the code? Thanks
You don’t need a redemption code. The credit should be automatically added when you register. From what I’ve read, this is per device, so if you’ve previously used another account on that phone, that’s probably the one that has the credit. If it doesn’t show up for you, the next step would be to contact HTC.
Thanks.
What if mine didn’toad & HTC nor sprint know how to addor fix o add my $25 any ideas?
I have this on my Evo 4g LTE and got the credit but no movies will play. Think it’s cause I’m rooted with a custom rom on it. Anyone able to play movies with a rooted device?
I’m not sure if the $25 credit is still available, but if so now is the time to use it! HTC has tons of titles on sale for 66 cents. This offer is for a limited time so don’t wait.
