scroll down and add any of the 3 months subscriptions to cart and check out.

Any of those are $1.00... bestbuy will then email you the link to activate, and it works on my existing tidal account that had the $1.00 bestbuy promo prior.

I don't like how this deal is set up. In order to cancel the service you have to do so through your Bestbuy account. Someone on BB stated that a BB associate told them that will refer you to Tidal if there's an issue managing your Tidal account. Tidal on the other hand has a FAQ page that states that BB is responsible for handling billing issues.

This deal is not worth the bother. MQA is a gimmick. It's not truly lossless high resolution. Qobuz is better if you care about audio quality and functionality. Qobuz has a website with deep filtering for metadata and they also have booklets. If you're okay with standard lossless or lossy compression than Apple, Amazon, and Spotify are the way to go.

Tidal won't survive through the next economic slump. Offering ridiculous low price deals like this is a sign of weakness.
Once you try Tidal you'll never go back to using any other streaming service. The master release quality is amazing.. Worth every penny.

I've had such a positive experience with it. I use it every day and it's blown me away. You will hear sounds in songs that you've never heard before on your favorite albums.

lol this sounds like a fake paid review, but I really do like it. I have every other service as well and this is definitely #1 in quality if you're an audiophile.

If it's canceled immediately, does the subscription automatically expire after the 3 month trial, or does it expire the subscription immediately?
you can continue your service, just cancel the auto renew in your bestbuy subscription section.. this is my third bestbuy deal where I got the 3 months for either $1 or $3 for three months. works on existing accounts no problem. I have not had an issue you don't have to wait 3 months to cancel the auto renew, you can do it right away.

Quote from nyankana :
I would assume it's pretty much a given from when the service was launched by some celebrity partnering with other celebrities, that it was mostly designed for quick profits and doomed to fail. So I am not surprised when Tidal offers deals like this to gain quick profits before it closes doors, and a surge of subscribers who only use their service because of the deals.

There's no way Tidal is profiting from these deals. They're just trying to artificially inflate their subscription count. There was an article a few years ago about concerns that Tidal was manipulating their subscriber totals by including non-paying promotional users. It's amazing that this company is still operating. Some investor(s) keep funding it in hopes some big tech company acquires it like Apple did with Beats.

At the very least it's another free trial. Why would you hope a business that doesn't bother anyone fails?

Oh man.

Get on Youtube and look up GoldenSound. Watch his two tidal/mqa videos even if you don't understand or follow all the technical details.

I tried the Tidal thing (via this BrstBuy deal) and it was just meh. I got hit with the $130 renewal a few days ago via BB because for some moronic reason I actually had my real credit card on file. Thankfully they refunded my money.

If you are really after lossless audio and think you can actually hear a difference on your equipment- qobuz or Apple Music if you have the Apple hardware to get their audio to your HiFi rig. Qobuz still sounds better/best to me.

I'm waiting for another 1 year HiFi for $49 deal offered last January. Mine will soon expire but patience.

I've had tidal for almost two years since it's included in my phone plan. I actually like it for the most part . The only con to me is that they don't include a filter like most other streaming apps do for explicit content. Otherwise pretty solid in my opinion. I've found pretty much all my songs on it and have found quite a few new songs due to their recommendations.

Would love to switch to tidal, but my grandfathered youtube premium/music plan and the fact that I don't own equipment to appreciate hifi audio hold me back. Good deal though.

Just a heads up if you want to compare services, Amazon's HD streaming service is free for three months and pretty darn affordable after that at $8/mo. The only thing I don't like is I can't stream to chromecast with it but otherwise seems the better deal vs. Tidal…

I just tried it and got "The offer has already been redeemed." when I tried to enter the code - and that was on a private browser session with zero cookies.

Okay, that was weird; my first login it said I wasn't eligible, second that the offer had been redeemed already...15 minutes later my old account was re-activated.

Anyway, off to start downloading all of my old CDs (I got to H on my last trial...hopefully I can get the rest of them in Master quality with decent tagging this time)

Also going to this link: https://www.bestbuy.com/services/planlist/tidal will let you cancel and set the end date as the last date of your 3 months (though I put a one time use CC number on the plan that expires 12/1 anyway, just in case)

"Offering low prices like this is a sign of weakness!"

So what does that say about Apple Music and 6/mo for free?

Can I make multiple purchases and use them as they expire?

Your subscription starts immediately as you place order on BB. No point in buying multiples as they will all start at the same time.
