US college students can take half off a Max subscription

US college students can shave half off a Max subscription. As long as you can confirm your active student status, you'll get a 50 percent discount on the Max With Ads monthly plan. Usually $10, you'll only pay $5 each month to stream classic and current HBO series (and more).

The promotion is through a partnership with UNiDAYS, a (strangely capitalized) service that verifies college and university student status. The company has also partnered with Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Uber Eats, Nike and more.

After successfully verifying your status, the promotion will last for 12 months. But you'll have the chance to re-verify your student status every year as long as you're eligible to keep the discount. Once you're in your last year with no plans to head to another school, you'll graduate to the hard-knock life of $10 ad-supported streaming plans.

Max lets you stream classic HBO series like The Sopranos, The Wire, Sex and The City, Game Of Thrones, Six Feet Under and more. You also get current-run content from HBO, Warner Bros., DC, HGTV and Food Network. These include series and films like The Last of Us, Dune: Part Two, House of the Dragon, Barbie and Euphoria. You'll also be able to stream the upcoming The Batman spinoff The Penguin, costarring Colin Farrell with his fat suit and a bunch of prosthetics.

Once you're verified through UNiDAYS, you'll receive a promotional code. Just follow the instructions you get with the code to begin your subscription.
