The Black Friday season has come with great opportunities for entertainment lovers. Max (formerly HBO Max) is a streaming platform with a diverse catalog. While Max counts on series that have shaped television as we know it, like the genre-defining Game of Thrones, for instance, many award-winning movies, both classic and contemporary, and impactful documentaries, it also provides options for those of us who prefer some lighter, fun content—after all, entertainment is all about having a good time, right?
For this Black Friday, Max is betting on cross-platform experiences with bundles and exclusive offers instead of straightforward discounts. Do you want to know if this is a good moment to explore what Max has to offer? Keep reading.
Black Friday 2024 offers—what to expect?
Let's go straight to the offers, right? Here they are:
Bundle with Disney+, Hulu, and Max: When we compare this specific bundle with individual subscriptions, these are the savings: with the ad-free version, savings up to 42%, and 43% with the ad-supported plan. You can also pick the Duo plan with Disney+ and Hulu (no Max included) at $11/month and a package Disney+ and Huly with ESPN+ instead of Max at $17/month.
DirecTV Stream Promotion: DirecTV Stream subscribers get three free months of Premium Channels, including Max, Paramount+ with Showtime, Starz, MGM+, and Cinemax. After the 3-month trial, the standard rates will be applied, and subscriptions can be canceled.
DoorDash DashPass Partnership: DashPass subscribers get a 30-day trial of Max's ad-supported plan. DashPass' annual subscription costs $96, with further benefits that include free delivery on eligible orders and 5% cashback on takeout purchases.
Promotions have started in mid-November and typically last until Cyber Monday, though renewal conditions may vary.
How do 2024 promotions compare to 2023?
Last year, Max offered discounts on their annual plans and promotional prices for new subscribers, while the strategy for the Black Friday promotions in 2024 is focused on cross-platform accessibility. If you enjoy variety and exploring streaming platforms, this year's options are quite attractive.
