I subscribe to Amazon Prime and get Screambox, AMC+ and Max. Max I thought was going to include Disney and Hulu as a bundle. Am I missing something? I keep reading articles about them being bundled under Max.

Is it possible to add a Hulu subscription through my amazon prime account using my amazon.com store card?
How does one sign up for Hulu so that one pays through Amazon? Do you go to the Hulu site and then when it comes to payment options we select to pay through Amazon? Or do you go to Amazon to sign up?
I want to be able to watch Hulu on my home desktop PC and pay through Amazon. Is this possible or does it just work through tablets or special sticks on the TV?
Partner and I have two MaxDisneyHulu accounts(I have DisneyHulu while he had the MaxDisneyHulu as we just moved in together. Were looking to make these one. I understand that I can't transfer out favorites, history, etc to one account which is totally fine. The issue lies with me having Prime Video, and Paramount+. I honestly hate having multiple logins and try to keep them all the same..
With being able to pay for Max through prime, can I just bundle HuluDisney into that when I do signup for Max through Prime? As of now, I can't find any information on this. I HATE having multiple sign ins for streaming services - It makes it confusing when you have to change passwords or you sign into a new device.
I also understand that you CAN pay for HuluDisney with Prime but you have to do this on a Firestick (Which is fine.. Id have to dig one up).
Today, I just discovered that this bundle deal exists. I have been happy with my Netflix Premium so far. I find that, as a single user, and given my TV Show/movie tastes, Netflix provides me with more than enough content to occupy my limited video streaming time. The Ad free and high video/audio quality content has been nice as well. That being said, I am enticed by the idea of having access to a seemingly larger and more diverse video streaming media library. I definitely wouldn't need or make use of having both Netflix and the bundle active at one time, and would rather save the money instead.
My top requirements for video streaming media are:
4k or better video quality supported (for the content that they offer in said resolutions)
5.1 surround sound or better audio quality supported (for the content that they offer in said quality)
Ability to stream on my home TV, laptop, and mobile devices from various geographical locations (no simultaneous streaming or other user access required though)
If ads are more than one or two every 10 minutes or so (like Netflix ad plans currently are), then I'd need ad free.
I currently pay $16.00 per month for Netflix Premium, subsidized through T-Mobile. I see that this bundle offers two options: $16.99/month with ads or 29.99/month without ads. What is super unclear is the video and audio quality included with these bundle plans. Here is what I could find:
HBO claims the plan (when purchased through them) offers "Full HD Resolution", which can mean as low as 1080p
HBO states that 4k/Dolby Vision are only available on their Ultimate Ad-free plan
HBO doesn't even seem to indicate 5.1 surround sound availability, only that Dolby Atmos is only available on their Ultimate Add-Free plan.
Hulu seems to indicate that all of their plans offer high def streaming, though it is vague and unclear
Hulu seems to indicate that all of their plans offer 5.1 surround sound, but that is vague and unclear
Disney also seems to indicate that all of their plans offer high def streaming and 5.1 surround sound, though it is even more vague and unclear with them whether that transfers to the bundle package
Can anyone provide solid data points for the video and audio quality options included with these plans?
Given how I have painted the picture of my video streaming media consumption and needs, what would seem the best choice to go with here?
A couple of days ago, someone noticed that the Hulu app wasn’t working right. Basically, when you go to “My List” and click on anything that you had bookmarked, the only thing that comes up is the still frame/background art image and a spinning white circle atop it (as if it’s trying to connect) — but then nothing else appears. So since there’s nothing to click on, you’re unable to do anything. And as of today, that issue still hasn’t been fixed.
However, I noticed that when I open the Hulu app on my iPhone, everything is normal. So this seems to be an issue specific to the Apple TV version of the app.
With that in mind, I noticed there’s now an issue with the Amazon Prime Video app too. Because even though I had lots of things saved & bookmarked, when I go to “My Watchlist”, it only shows 10 items…
…But (once again) if I open the Amazon Prime Video app on my iPhone, my full long watchlist is there.
So, since everything works on the iPhone, I guess this is all just an issue with the latest Apple TV update (18.4) that I installed?
EDIT: To everyone that responded: I will try your different suggestions and hopefully that will fix the problem. And THANK YOU for being so kind and trying to help.
I have Amazon Prime (with free AMC through AT&T) Netflix, and Paramount+. If I were to get Hulu I would get the ad-free version. Does Hulu have enough unique content to be worth it?
I had the Disney+ / Hulu / ESPN premium bundle managed through Hulu. It was great because they gave me a $16/month credit toward my bill to account for a preexisting Disney + premium prepaid account i had. I was essentially getting ad-free for the price with ads. Great. No issues.
However, when i wanted to add-on the NFL+ Premium to my plan, it didn’t show up. Not an option. Discussing it online (including this subreddit), we learned it only works via a Disney managed subscription. And there’s no way to convert your Hulu managed bundle to a Disney managed subscription. Hulu support recommended we cancel my Hulu plan and i re-subscribe via Disney. Fair enough…so i thought.
Turns out—on Disney—there is no mechanism to give me a monthly credit for my preexisting / prepaid Disney+ subscription. The only way i can add the bundle (confirmed with chat support) was to cancel my prepaid Disney+ (with NO refund or credit) and subscribe to the bundle. That’s wild to me and obviously I’m not losing out on 2 more years of prepaid Disney+ Premium.
So now it’s back to Hulu for my bundle. I re-subscribed and the monthly credit is right back on my account. Makes no sense that Hulu will give me credit for a prepaid Disney sub but Disney won’t do the same. Oh well.
I’ll have to pay an extra $5 per month for nfl premium (compared to the bundle add on cost) but obviously that’s worth losing hundreds on a cancelled bundle.
How many of you on here have subscriptions to all three?
I have all 3. I see Netflix leaving my accounts soonish though. As soon as my wife wants the Disney subscription thing.
Oh, and also, Prime needs to get their Thursday Night Football stream to work better. It's terrible every time.
I have all currently. Amazon Prime runs their store and streaming service out of the same interface, prioritizing sales. It makes for an awful experience where seasons are chopped up and you can accidentally buy something you didn't mean to if you aren't paying attention. I don't watch a lot of current tv shows so I prefer Netflix's catalog a little more, and it's also the smoothest streaming experience in the game right now.
Hi Everyone.

Thank you for your suggestions.
I like keeping all my streaming subscriptions in one place. I currently use Prime, where I subscribe to the Starz and Paramount channels. Which is the best hub for streaming subscription channels?
