You still have a few more days to save 40 percent on a year’s subscription to Max. The discount is available to new subscribers (and some existing ones) and includes every plan the streaming service offers. The top tier subscription is for the ad-free, 4K plan which will now cost $140 annually instead of $240. The mid-level plan is also ad-free but doesn’t support 4K content. Thanks to these Max streaming deals that level is $105 for the year, instead of $192. The cheapest Max subscription is ad-supported and now $70 yearly, which works out to $5.83 per month as opposed to the usual $10. Max will run the discounts until Tuesday, April 9th.
Annual subscriptions are currently 40 percent off for new and some existing subscribers.
Not only is the deal open to all new subscribers, existing subscribers who buy their service direct from Max.com can also take advantage. If you’re a returning subscriber and previously went through Max.com, the Apple App Store or Google Play, you can also get the discount. Unfortunately, only new subscribers via Fire TV are eligible. The timing of the deal is tied to March Madness promotions, as Max will stream all 2024 Division I NCAA men’s basketball championship games live, along with other live sports.
For those who don’t remember, Max is the name given to the streaming service that combines HBO’s programming with Discovery+ content. While the name may be less memorable, the smooshing of the two services means more content to peruse — from brands like HGTV and Food Network — in addition to fine HBO fare like The Last of Us and True Detective. It’s also where you can find Studio Ghibli films and A24 movies. Plus Our Flag Means Death, though canceled, was superb. There’s a reason we named Max one of the best streaming services out there.
