Do Black Friday streaming service deals actually save you money?
In general, yes. Many streaming services are offering some really great Black Friday deals right now, including some offers that can save you up to 90% on monthly subscriptions. The caveat is that many of these deals are exclusive to new subscribers, while others may only last a few months, instead of the entire year. If you know you want to sign up for a streaming service soon, it’s best to skip free trial offers and instead sign up as a new subscriber while the deals are in full swing.
Is there a Netflix Black Friday deal?
Unfortunately, no. Netflix rarely offers discounts and that also applies to Black Friday. It seems like the streaming giant is well aware of its hold on the market and feels like there’s no need to entice new subscribers with price cuts, hoping people will sign up with the standard cost: $7 (standard) , $15 (standard ad-free) and $22 (premium – 4K ultra HD).
Which streaming services typically offer the best Black Friday deals?
That’s hard to say because it depends on your preferences. It’s worth noting that Netflix hasn’t previously participated in Black Friday price cuts, while Peacock, Disney, Hulu, Starz, Fubo, and more regularly offer holiday savings.
