If you’ve been a YouTube TV subscriber for a long time, you likely recall that last year the monthly rate rose to $82.99. The live TV service is now over double the cost it was five years ago, and further price increases are expected. That’s the negative aspect. The positive side is that you’re probably just a few clicks away from saving $10 on your monthly bill for the next six months due to a promotion that is annoyingly hard to find.
As noted by 9to5Google this week, YouTube TV has quietly introduced a new promotion that appears to be broadly accessible for both new and existing subscribers. This promotion effectively reverts the price of YouTube TV plans by $10 a month for six months.
According to comments on Reddit, a greater number of subscribers seem to qualify for this promotion. It isn’t completely clear how long this offer will last, so check it out as soon as possible.
Additionally, before we detail the steps, it’s important to mention that you’re unlikely to find this promotion in the YouTube TV mobile app. You will require a computer browser for this.
How to receive $10 off your YouTube TV plan
Here are the steps to follow to obtain the YouTube TV deal on your account:
1. Navigate to tv.youtube.com in a web browser on your computer and sign in to your account.
2. Click on your profile icon in the upper-right corner of the page and select Settings.
3. Under Membership, locate your plan (e.g., Base Plan) and click the Manage button.
4. Under Options, choose the option that states “Get $10 off your current plan.”
5. You will be redirected to a page that informs you that you’ll be charged a promotional price of $72.99 for the next six months. Click Agree.
I received the following email from YouTube TV: “Congratulations. A promotional offer has been applied to your account. We appreciate your membership and are thrilled to keep providing you with high-quality entertainment featuring 85+ channels, unlimited DVR, and more.”
I had no idea this existed until I discovered it online, but I was able to locate it in my account. Consequently, I will be saving $60 on my YouTube TV subscription for the remainder of the year. It’s still pricey, but that’s $60 I wouldn’t have otherwise saved.
