Apple TV+ One Year Subscription $45 @ Costco

[steve...]

Normal price is $5/month, this deal drops it to $3.75

Says there is a 5% surcharge for non-members but I ordered (not a member) and got the $45 deal.

You will receive the redemption code, normally within the hour, via e-mail to the e-mail address you have entered. Additional processing time may be required.

Hm.

As I expected:

*Voucher may not be redeemed by existing Apple One subscribers.

But:

*Subscription voucher must be redeemed within one (1) year from date of purchase at Costco (online or in-store).

So, maybe I could cancel my existing subscription and in a month or two cash in this voucher.

But, if that doesn't work, could I get a refund from Costco.

Hm.

Right now T-Mobile is offering a free year of Apple TV+ and I figure it may be for new subscribers only. I haven't looked at the fine print because I'm in the middle of a month. If it is for new subscriber's only, I'm going to sign up for the free year with a different email and, assuming that works, then cancel my existing account right before renewal. I've been doing that with the $1-$2 Hulu Black Friday deals for years.

It is not, I did the free t-Mobile deal and it added a year to my Apple+ subscription. The T-Mobile free link takes you to Apple to sign up. I had a free year for buying an iPhone 12 last year and this just added another year. Go for it.
Make sure you are getting your free Netflix from T-Mobile, too. It will run as long as you are a customer.

Thanks. I just redeemed my code. I had a free trial ending this month, but we've just finished Season 1 of Ted Lasso, and I've recently started watching Foundation so I think we definitely want to keep it going.

Also have (and use!) Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Video, and Hulu. I would drop Amazon if that were a separate service from the shopping, and thinking about dropping Hulu.

I pay month to month for Apple TV+, I don't understand if this is "Apple One" customer. Does anyone know if this yearly offer would benefit me? Thanks!

August,

An annual subscription is $50.00 per year. So, this isn't a particularly good deal.



This deal saves you $5.00 off the normal annual subscription price of $50.00 per year.

Since you're paying month to month, it may be worthwhile (a) if you enjoy content on AppleTV+ and (b) if you plan to move to an annual subscription.

Me? I haven't found enough content on AppleTV+ to justify a monthly or annual subscription. I might sign up for a month or two just to binge on a show but I'd cancel when I'm done.

Now, if they bundled AppleTV+ and Apple Music into the deal, I'd go for it. That would be worthwhile.

Yep, I looked for an annual plan but didn't see one when I posted. Saw it later on my iPhone.

Thanks, Robert! I just let the free period morph into $5 a month. I agree programming is sparse, but it does seem to be higher quality than a lot of the usual fare.
