The Best Deals on Streaming Services Right Now
This is the last chance to get aHulu $30 rebate, and Paramount+ is 50% off for a year.
citynews
Streaming services have basically come full circle: What started as a cheap alternative to cable TV has become an expensive monthly cost in its own right, as price hikes and crackdowns on password sharing have made subscribing to multiple streaming services just as expensive, if not more so, than some conventional cable plans.
Luckily, there are often discounts, deals, and loopholes to exploit that can make streaming more affordable—and sometimes even free. Here are the best deals you can get right now on all the major streamers.
This month's best streaming deals
Today, Sept. 11, is your last chance to get the Hulu $30 rebate on the Hulu + Live TV subscription after you sign up for a 3-day free trial. Keep in mind the Hulu+ Live (with ads) price will increase to $82.99 on Oct. 17, and to $94.99 for Hulu+Live (no ads).
Also, the best streaming deal right now also involves Hulu—the Disney+/Hulu/Max triple bundle can save you significant money over signing up for each streaming service individually.
The Disney+, Hulu, and Max bundle with ads is $16.99
The Disney+, Hulu, and Max bundle without ads is $29.99
Last month's deal for a year of Paramount+ for half the price or a free month is still available.
