I'm currently leaving $34 a month on the table I suppose, but I see no point in signing up for stuff I don't want just to "use the credit". I pay for Peacock Premium which costs $6 a month. The credit will start paying for my Sirius XM once the free trial in my new car runs out.
It's not much and may be more hassle than it's worth for you, but you do earn MR on charges you get reimbursed with those credits.
