It's the last day to get up to 42 percent off annual Max subscriptions
This is your last day to snag a decent deal on a subscription to Max, the streaming service that has nothing to do with Cinemax and everything to do with HBO. Annual subscriptions are up to 42 percent off, depending on the tier. The discount is available to both new and returning subscribers, just in time for the second season of House of the Dragon.
The best deal knocks $100 off the Ultimate plan, which offers an ad-free 4K viewing experience. The grand total here will be $140 per year, instead of $240. The next step down is a mid-level plan that also drops the ads, but there's no option for 4K streaming. This plan costs $150 per year, instead of $192. Finally, there's the ad-supported plan, which costs $70 per year as part of this deal. Sure, it might seem weird to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm (RIP) with commercials, but it gets the job done.
The deals apply no matter how you sign up for the Max, including directly from the website, through the Apple App Store or Google Play. There's one major caveat, as only new subscribers via Fire TV are eligible. All of this is tied to March Madness, as Max is streaming all 2024 Division I NCAA men's basketball championship games, along with other live sports.
For those too busy to memorize the comings and goings of multinational streaming platforms, Max is a service that combines HBO's programming with content from Discovery+. So you can watch all five seasons of the critically-acclaimed crime series The Wire and chase it down with 47 seasons of Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, as nature intended. Max is a weird streamer to pin down, but there's certainly a glut of content to choose from. There's a reason we named it one of the best streaming services out there.
