The big list of streaming deals
Last updated: May 10, 2024
Back in the old days of cable, keeping your TV bill in check required routine calls to customer service, followed by desperate pleas for a lower rate and/or threats to cancel your service.
With streaming TV, things work a bit differently. While you can’t call up Netflix or HBO to ask for a lower price, you can often snag discounts on streaming services if you know where to look.
In this guide, I’ve done the legwork of finding all the best streaming deals, so you can save money on Paramount+, Peacock Premium, Netflix, the Disney bundle, and more.
Streaming service deals
These deals are up to date as of May 10, 2024, and I’ll do my best to refresh this information over time. If you spot an error, please let me know. I do not collect a sales commission or affiliate fee from .

If you can’t take advantage of a “new subscribers only” deal because you’ve signed up before, consider using a masked or secondary email address to sign up again. You can also set up a limited-use credit card so you don’t get auto-billed at regular price after the promo period.

Streaming deals from Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T
If you haven’t claimed any free or discounted streaming video services from your wireless carrier, you’re probably leaving money on the table. Select one of the carriers below to see what deals you can get.
