Verizon Customers Can Get Free Netflix Premium with Peacock Sign-Up
Verizon has launched an enticing offer for its customers, providing a complimentary one-year subscription to Netflix Premium, the top-tier plan offered by the leading streaming service, to those who sign up for Peacock through the telecom giant’s “+play” hub. This exclusive bundle presents a significant saving of over $275 for subscribers. It marks the first time that Verizon has bundled Netflix and Peacock together, showcasing the company’s strategic approach to partnerships within the streaming industry.
The promotion, which commences today for a limited period, coincides with the upcoming Paris Olympics, scheduled to begin later this month. Peacock’s participation in this offer aligns with the Games as every event will be available for streaming on the NBCUniversal service. Notably, the Premium subscription level of Peacock, which includes ads, qualifies customers for the complimentary Netflix subscription.
Last year, Verizon extended a similar offer, granting customers a year of Netflix at no additional cost upon signing up for a different streaming platform. Netflix’s Premium tier, priced at $22.99 per month, provides subscribers with the benefit of streaming on up to four devices simultaneously in 4K HDR quality, offering an enhanced viewing experience.
The trend of bundling services has gained momentum across the streaming landscape, with not only third-party entities like Verizon creating bundled packages but also streaming platforms forming strategic alliances among themselves. Verizon’s introduction of the “+play” platform in 2022 exemplifies this trend, granting customers access to a wide array of streaming services including Netflix, Peloton, Disney+, Discovery+, A+E Networks, and AMC+, among others. The platform aims to simplify customers’ access to exclusive content deals across various genres including entertainment, fitness, lifestyle, wellness, education, and music programming.
The evolving landscape of streaming services underscores the importance of strategic partnerships and bundled offerings, providing customers with a diverse array of content options and value-added benefits. As the competition in the streaming industry continues to intensify, collaborations and bundled packages serve as key strategies for companies to attract and retain subscribers in an increasingly crowded market.
