Has anyone deciphered this? I think I may be able to subscribe to Disney+, Hulu Black Friday deal at Hulu.com ($4.99/mo), then add the HBO Max Black Friday deal ($2.99/mo)to my Hulu account.
The fine print on hulu.com/hbomax says "Offer for new and eligible existing Hulu and Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Bundle subscribers only; Disney+ and Disney+, Hulu Bundle subscribers are not eligible. HBO Max Basic With Ads Add-on requires Hulu base plan subscription."
BUT I wouldn't be able to do this if I subscribe to the Disney+, Hulu Black Friday deal at disneyplus.com because their platform only allows HBO Max as part of a bundle, not as an add on.
AND I think I can use my Blue Cash Preferred AMEX for a statement credit of up to $10/mo when purchased through Hulu.com to essentially get all three free for the year. (Fine print from https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/card/blue-cash-preferred/?intlink=us_card_benefits_blue_cash_preferred "Now, with the enhanced $120 Disney Streaming Credit, you can earn up to $10 back per month as a statement credit when you use your enrolled Blue Cash Preferred® Card to purchase a subscription, or bundle subscription, on DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com, or Plus.espn.com U.S. websites, now with no minimum purchase requirement."
Am I missing something or will this work?

What were the Cyber Monday streaming deals like last year?
In 2024, some of the best Black Friday streaming deals we saw came from Peacock, Disney Plus, Hulu, HBO Max, and Paramount Plus. Ad-supported HBO Max was on sale for $2.99 a month for six months, the ad-supported Disney Plus and Hulu bundle was discounted to $2.99 a month for 12 months, Peacock Premium was $20 for a year or $1.99 a month for six months, and both tiers of Paramount Plus were brought down to $2.99 a month for two months.
When do Cyber Monday streaming deals end?
Most of the major Cyber Monday streaming deals run through December 1, 2025, and have a hard stop at the end of the day. Deals typically expire by 11:59 p.m. If that's PT, then East Coasters will have three extra hours to take advantage of the savings, but we recommend buying before then, just in case it ends by midnight ET. This year, Apple TV's deal ends on Monday at 8 p.m. PT/11 p.m. ET, and the Paramount deal will run through Tuesday.
As we mentioned above, some deals are a bit more evergreen and not specifically tied to Cyber Monday, although they coincide with the shopping holidays. Some of these deals have end dates, such as the ESPN Unlimited, Disney Plus, and Hulu bundles, which are discounted down to $29.99 a month and $38.99 a month, respectively, for 12 months until January 5, 2026. After that point, they'll revert to their standard monthly rates of $35.99 and $44.99.
Other deals — like the discounts on live TV streaming services such as DirecTV, Fubo, and Sling — are more evergreen and have no definitive end date. We still recommend not waiting around to subscribe because those offers are available at the discretion of the streamer and can technically be removed at any time.
Who is eligible for the Cyber Monday streaming deals?
Eligibility for the Cyber Monday streaming deals varies from service to service, and it's best to check the fine print to see if you're able to cash in on the savings. If you've never subscribed to the streaming service before, you're most likely eligible for the deal. For many services, existing subscribers aren't eligible to get the deals and savings can't be applied to ongoing subscriptions. However, many streamers allow former subscribers to access the deals, but how long ago you'll need to have canceled to be eligible varies by service. Additionally, many streaming services don't offer their deals if you sign up through a third-party, so we recommend trying to subscribe directly through the streamer's website.
Current Disney Plus, ESPN, Hulu, and bundle subscribers aren't eligible for the Cyber Monday Disney Plus and Hulu bundle deals. The best way to see if you're eligible is to start the sign-up process on a streaming service and see what's available to you before you go to pay.
Any chance price drops from $19.99 (ad free) on Black Friday? We cancelled Disney+ when the Kimmel stuff went down. Bought several physical copies on DVD of the movies my kids really loved that they previously streamed on Disney but with the holidays approaching, a lot of those holiday specials will be requested soon. Anyone familiar if they run a Black Friday sale and we should hold off or should we just sign up now? We'd probably cancel again in early 2026 but looking to save as much as possible, even if it's a few bucks.
There is also no $.99 option for standalone Hulu. Edit: for those looking for ad-free, its discounted the bundle to $14.99.
