HBO Max Raises Prices Across All Plans Effective Immediately
I am so sick of this unmitigated greed on behalf of streaming services. They're all always pushing the line to see where the consumer breaking point it. Fortunately right now, I am getting most of my streaming services free as a result of subscriptions to other services. However, when those deals expire and those services are no longer offering these streaming services as bonuses (which probably isn't far off), I'm not going to standalone subscriptions anymore. Enough is enough. More on reddit.com

The ol’ bait and switch for the subscription
I finished up the one-time offer of $139.99/year for PREMIUM 4K plan today. When I selected 'cancel subscription' it took me to a page that showed pricing plans, including the $139.99 plan I was on. It did make it seem like it was an option at time of renewal. However, if you continue to the next page of the cancellation process, it presents a 'Special Offer' to remain on the PREMIUM 4K plan for $169.99/year instead of $209.99/year. That makes sense, since the $139.99/year offer was a one-time option, which just finished for me. I selected the 'Special Offer' pricing of $169.99/year, which was billed today. I don't know if they will offer the $139.99/year PREMIUM plan again. They have increased pricing on all plans since then. If they offer something as 'March Madness' approaches, it will likely be the $169.99/year 'Special Offer' plan, if you want 4K access. More on reddit.com

The only decent Black Friday deal is HBO Max
Isn't the Disney + / Hulu bundle only $5. Seems as good as the HBO Max one. The 'principle' that there shouldn't be any ads on what you pay for is nonsense. It's Reddit bullshit. It's based on nothing. You have always paid for things and been advertised to simultaneously. More on reddit.com

r/HBOMAX on Reddit: The ol’ bait and switch for the subscription
March 15, 2025 -

When my renewal was coming up for $209, I decided to cancel. So they gave me a ‘one time special offer’ for $139.99, so I hit the renewal button. Lo and behold come renewal day and the special offer disappears from my subscription page and I’m charged $209. Apparently I was supposed to take a screenshot of the offer to prove that HBO was going to not honor it.

TLDR; if you have a special offer for Max, take a screenshot and give it to the customer service rep otherwise they won’t help you.
