I thought I read on this website the promo code THECHI for the Paramount+ annual plan would work for an existing monthly subscriber who wanted to switch to annual (me). But it doesn’t work that way. You need to be terminated on your old existing plan for it to work. You can’t just use it to switch plans. I screwed up and just switched plans to annual and it did not ask for a promo code it just hit my card for the full annual amount. Then I went on text support chat and entered AGENT a couple times to speak with a real person. I pleaded my case, whined a little, and got the agent to terminate my new annual plan immediately, then let me use the promo code immediately. So it worked but it took some whining and pleading. Be Aware…
Nearly every deal is for new and returning customers, not existing. I am glad you got it though!
Sad about the premature end of the Peacock deal. I have the previous annual desk to end by the 30th. I couldn’t apply it to renew, and was hoping I might get that last day. Already cancelled, so may not tenew. But then, I wouldn’t be surprised they move up the price increase with no warning. Pure greed before the Olympics.
I tried to use the code today, but it said that it had expired. I ran several searches, and most of them were still giving information on the $20 subscription for a year, despite the offer no longer being valid. I ran a search on Bing copilot, and it did give me this info.: How to Get a Full Year of Peacock Premium for $29.99 (58% Off):
On the account creation screen, enter promo code PEAIHWO4KTP.
Enter your payment and contact information to finish signing up.
I haven’t tried it yet. Not feeling well due to my disabilities, and severe health issues. I’m just worn out. I will try tomorrow maybe.
I was also hoping to subscribe to the promo on June 29 (one day before the closing day) only to see Michael’s post on YouTube about the premature closure. Really sad.
Michael, maybe you could help with this. Amazon has a Google Chromecast with Google TV (4K)- Streaming Stick and they mention this “promo”…
Buy Chromecast with Google TV and save $20/month on your first 3 months of YouTube TV. Redeem by July 15, 2024 at 11:59 PM PST[9]. New users of YouTube TV only. Limited time offer. $72.99/month after offer ends. Other terms and conditions apply.
But neither Amazon or Google can/will tell me how to apply this promo while signing up for YouTube TV.
Help Please!
Did you purchase the Chromecast through Amazon already? Maybe they send a code afterwards.
I just want to let you know thank you for putting Ibotta out there lots of people don’t know about it and it doesn’t cost any money I mean sometimes I go overboard say detergent if I’m going to get $3 back on anything and I still have detergent at home I’m going to go ahead and buy it and get that $3 back or $4 or even a dollar then I’m good for a year or more it’s crazy it’s not just detergent though lots of people don’t know about it I think my lifetime earnings is close to $500 and 2 years maybe three thank you very much I didn’t hear it from you but I just want to put that out there it’s awesome.
Oh cool! Yes, I have used Ibotta for 10 years now. It’s been nice extra cash for things I already buy.
Hey Michael T.
i just caught your YouTube video and as cord cutters for many years I sent this to a friend who is literally paying $250.0 to cable provider on top of streaming. when i ve told him he could save money he thought i was doing something like hacking into the tv station (lol I wish hacking was as easy as tv makes it seems). but your 7 step video is so concise anyone who wants to save can understand and still get sports action which is the #1 feature I hear from friends / family about nixing BigCable
You mention that you use T-Mobile and Verizon 5G Home Internet. I am using 2 4k TVs and have Netflix ,Prime and Amazon Luna app I am wondering if 5g cellular Internet can sustain if I am casual gamer
I plan on getting PS4 /Ps5 but I am want to review Luna cloud gaming by Amazon
any advice on Internet would be good. i currently have internet,cable, cell through Spectrum that I only got because of bundle deal and so family can watch sports but would like cut it when sub price ends next month. I just wonder if T-Mobile 5g is comparable to Spectrum 1gig ( which gives between 400MB & 700 MB.i have never seen it give 999 MB as advertised and i have an AX router and Ethernet 6 cables )
You may want to stay with Spectrum. I have lots of content on Home Internet (see top of website and YouTube) where I compare 5G home internet to cable and fiber. The people who have trouble with 5G home tend to be gamers or those who have unrealistic expectations. It’s not the best and not pretending to be the best. 5G home is a money saver.
Is there a free streaming channel that carries local channels?
No
I am thinking about cutting my Xfinity TV/Internet pkg due to rising costs of equipment again (way over $200/mo). My apt has Fiber so I am looking to eliminate the TV portion & downsize Internet to the 400 gb plan (from 1gb plan) and use a Roku Ultra box. I already have subscriptions to Netflix & AppleTV+ (thru Tmobile) as well as Hulu & Paramount+ thanks to Black Friday deals. I plan on getting an OTA HDTV antenna for my live local stations, etc. Does this sound like a good plan so far? Secondly, if I wanted to DVR the live local channels, how would I do that? Recommendations are appreciated.
I’m looking to cut the cord, is your info for the U.S.? I’m in Canada. Can you recommend a reputable website like yours for Canadians? Thanks
I live in the US, so I only feel qualified to talk about options available here.
You show the Hulu $0.99/month special in blue and the Disney + add-on for $2 more in black. Does that mean this special for Hulu will not pair with the $2 Disney add-on? Not much on Hulu for us, but our daughter would love Disney. We would be returning subscribers.
Hi Michael,
Following your channel for what a while. I am a current Paramount+ with the Showtime subscriber. My renewal date is 12-16-23 at the current rate I’m paying at $11.99 per month. I just canceled my renewal. I was wondering if I would be able to take a vantage of that three month special for the Black Friday deal even though I have a current subscription until the 16th of December?
The deal is for new and former subscribers only. However, you may want to try using a secondary email address to get the deal.
Hello Michael,
I am considering returning to Frndly (after a year or more). I only do streaming as I cannot afford cable-TV. This is working for sure. When Frndly offers channels, example The History Channel, is this fully anything History offers if you had a direct subscription or only certain programing? I am figuring the latter. I will try the free week or pay for a month but I’m curious exactly what is included with the individual channel offerings. Do you know?
Thanks,
Susan
With History on Frndly, you’re getting the cable channel that you’re familiar with. You can set recordings with the DVR and watch things on your terms if you’re not near the TV when the shows you like air.
Hi Michael,
I’m a subscriber and follow you on your channel. Thanks for all you do the streaming community.
I’m currently a Paramount+ with Showtime subscriber on an annual plan that expires 12/2/2023. Last year I paid $59.98 for that plan on a 50% off deal at that time. The renew price upcoming in December without a new deal would be $119.99/year
Saw your video about the latest 50% off deal that expires 9/20, mentioning it was for new and returning customers.
As a returning customer, it actually doesn’t look there is a way to “renew” it right now before 9/20 at that 50% off deal price without canceling my current plan and signing up under a new account.
Unless I’m missing something, looks like my best option is to just start up a new annual account before 9/20, which is still much less than renewing the current plan in December
Hi Pete. You are a current customer. Returning would be someone who canceled and was signing up again. You could try that, using a different email addressing or maybe waiting for Black Friday to see if there’s a similar deal!
what do you think of iptv smarters? I confess I don’t even understand it- it’s a streaming service whereby you don’t have to pay for HBO, Netflix, etc. (?)
Can you describe how this works and the promises and pitfalls?
I don’t cover them because they’re illegal.
Just found your site through Non Consumer Advocate, although I had been reading your content on Clark.com for years. Didn’t realize you had started your own site–congratulations! So happy I snagged the Paramount + deal. Or should I say my hubby is glad!
BTW, not sure why, but this post and some others for December were way down the list on your homepage. I thought everything was posted in date order, but apparently not. If I hadn’t been scrolling through your posts, I would have missed this deal. I am sure other readers would benefit from current posts showing at the top of the blog page.
Thank you, Barbara. I appreciate that you’ve read my articles over the years. I will try to work on homepage management. I agree with you about the newest/updated articles at the top.
Cant find the Disney add on with no-ads… I click to the 1.99 offer, and it stats the process.
Im to the section of adding CC info, then it says “submit” isnt that finalizing? or is there a step after that for the add on?
You can add it after the purchase as well. Go to your Hulu account, then add-ons, then select the Disney Plus add-on. I have a video here that shows you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xw64Opg7nk
