Starting Friday, WarnerMedia is aiming to boost the number of HBO Max subscribers and so are offering a discount similar to the one they offered prior to launch – albeit this time much more open.
New and returning customers who sign up for HBO Max are eligible to get the service for $11.99 per month for the next twelve months – a 20% discount off the regular $14.99 price and an annual savings of $36.
The promo is available to “any new customers and returning subscribers whose accounts have lapsed” and runs through September 25th 2020. Unlike the earlier discount which was only available via direct signups, this one will be available through WarnerMedia as well as participating partners like Apple, Google, Hulu, YouTube TV, Comcast Xfinity, RCN, Grande Communications and Wave.
Both HBO Max and Peacock remain unavailable on two of the four biggest streaming device platforms on the market – Roku and Amazon’s Fire TV (the other two which have it being the Apple TV and Google Chromecast). WarnerMedia wants to retire is legacy HBO service sold through the Roku Channel and Amazon Prime Video and have HBO Max available only as a standalone app, but neither of the device manufacturers wants that.
