YouTube TV is giving its current
subscribers a chance to save some cash with a new limited-time offer.
The popular streaming service, which normally costs $82.99 per month, is
now available
for just $49.99.
That’s a $33 whooping monthly discount, adding
up to a total of $66 in savings.
A
Short-Term Deal Worth Grabbing
The deal is only valid for two
months, and after that, the price goes back to its usual rate.
This is a temporary breather to users already paying for the service.
However, the offer
is not available for new users and is only being shown to existing subscribers
As of the time of writing, there is no official statement from YouTube about the promotion.
So it’s
unclear how long it will stick around or who will get it.
How
to Check if You’re Eligible
Some subscribers have reported
finding the offer in their account settings.
But if you haven’t checked to see
if you qualify, simply open
YouTube TV on a desktop browser, not the app.
Go to
your account settings, then head to Membership and look for your base plan.
If
you see a discount offer listed, you can click it to activate the lower price
for the next two months.
Why
This Matters for Viewers
Fans looking to switch from cable TV
and still enjoy sports, movies, and DVR features look to YouTube TV as the next
best option.
But looking at their subscription plan compared to other streaming
platforms, it is a turn-off.
This is why deals like this have to be
introduced from time to time to lessen monthly bills for users.
Final Words
This temporal reduction is a good
one, but fans and subscribers are hoping for better subscription deals.
The price cuts should not be for YouTube alone, but also for
YouTube Premium and YouTube Music.
Currently,
each app comes with its subscription plan, and some changes have been made to Premium’s
family plan, leaving users frustrated.
All we can hope for is that YouTube
combines all three services into one package.
This will reduce the financial burden,
thereby making it attractive to users.
