By now, you've probably been hearing about the new Max and all it has to offer—namely tons of hit shows and movies—for months. Max grew out of HBO, which has always been a top-tier premium channel with the price to match, so how can you be sure you're getting the very best deal on a Max subscription? Well, Groupon Coupons has done the digging for you and compiled a constantly updating list of every Max deal out there. Take a gander below to see how you can get the most bang for your buck on Max streaming.
How Much Does Max Cost?
Max is $9.99/month (ads) or $15.99/month (ad-free) as a standalone streaming service. You can also upgrade to the Ultimate Ad Free option for $19.99/month, which gets you streaming service on 4 devices instead of just 2. Max is free for many customers who pay for HBO as part of their cable TV package. Plans on TV subscription packages vary depending on the TV/Internet provider.
How to Get 20% Off Max
You can save 16%–20% on a one-year subscription to Max when you prepay for an entire year. The savings depend on which Max subscription you chose:
- With Ads: $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year ($19.98 off aka 16% savings)
- Ad Free: $15.99 per month or $149.99 per year ($41.89 off aka 20% savings)
- Ultimate Ad Free: $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year ($39.89 off aka 16% savings)
Max Free Trial
Max occasionally offers a 7-day free trial to allow you to try before you buy. The streaming service is not currently running any free trial offers, but check back here to see when it’s back. When running, you have to the end of the 7-day trial period to cancel before the monthly subscription fee kicks in.
Hulu + Max Free Trial
So technically there is a way to get a Max free trial right now, but only if you have Hulu (or sign up for it). Hulu’s plans start at $7.99/month and include a free 7-day trial to Max. If you don’t end up canceling the Max add-on before the trial period ends, you’ll be billed $15.99/month on top of your Hulu subscription fee (so almost $24+/month).
Get Max for Free with HBO
If you’re a current HBO subscriber through cable, you may be able to get Max for free, provided your TV service provider offers it. Check here for a full list of eligible providers, which includes the usual suspects of AT&T U-Verse, Xfinity, and DIRECTV. If eligible, you can use your HBO log-in credentials to access a ton more shows, movies, and original series.
