Save Big: HBO Max Hack Reduces Monthly Fee to $4.99
A special offer is available for college and university students in the United States, allowing them to access significant discounts on a Max subscription. This exclusive deal offers a 50% reduction on the monthly cost of one of the most popular streaming services. Students subscribed to the Max With Ads plan can now enjoy the service for only $4.99 per month, down from the usual $9.99. This results in a 16% savings on the annual subscription fee of $99.99.
To verify students’ active status and facilitate the discount process, Max has partnered with UNiDAYs, a student verification platform and online marketplace. Once students complete the verification process, they will receive a discount code that can be redeemed on the Max website. This offer allows students to access Max’s extensive library of shows and movies at a discounted rate for 12 months. After the initial 12 months, students will need to confirm their active status to re-enroll in the offer.
UNiDAYS CEO and co-founder Jon Hawley expressed excitement about the collaboration with Max, emphasizing the opportunity to provide quality content to over 19 million U.S. college and university students at a more affordable price through a gated student offering. The ad-free plan on Max is available for $16.99 per month or $169.99 annually, offering subscribers savings of over 20% each year. The “Ultimate Ad-Free” plan, the most expensive option, can be accessed for $20.99 per month or $209.99 per year, with savings of over 16%.
Max boasts a diverse range of shows and films catering to young adults, including popular titles like “Game of Thrones,” “Euphoria,” “Pretty Little Liars,” and “Gossip Girl.” Additionally, the platform offers a wide selection of live sports content, featuring national soccer, hockey, and baseball games.
In May 2023, Max underwent a rebranding from HBO Max following the merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery in April 2022. The new company, Warner Bros. Discovery, combined HBO Max and discovery+, resulting in a shift in programming. The new brand was introduced in the United States, followed by launches in Latin America and Europe.
Warner Bros. Discovery’s JB Perrette highlighted the relaunch as a signal of a broader content offering and consumer proposition, aiming to provide a wide array of quality choices for a diverse audience. This strategic move signifies a shift from two distinct products, HBO Max and discovery+, to a more comprehensive content platform.
