I've been doing this BF deal back and forth between two accounts under two emails for years. This worked:
--cancelled my current subscription on Account 1 (expires in a couple of days anyway)
--Hit OP link and logged into Account 2 (that I cancelled a year ago)
--It only gave the 6.99 option to resubscribe
--Hit OP link again, it gave the .99 option, as logged into Account 2
--Was able to use the credit card from a year ago (it was already in payment methods for Account 2)
I had to try this on another computer and then it worked. Some cookie issue I guess on my system.

This year, I created a new account with new email, but had to use PayPal with the same discover card to get the .99 plan working.
I don't really watch Hulu, but I must get it if it's free, right? 😉
I'll have to catch up on the Hulu Orignals.
In my case, I am on the $1.99 deal from last November and added a $100 Hulu promotional credit in July. My credit card hasn't been charged in 4 months, so my current balance is $92.04. My next 12 months of charges at $6.99/month are all showing as being charged to my gift card balance, which makes sense as I have just over 13 months' credit at that rate.
An important thing to note; I've read that if you cancel your subscription with an outstanding gift card balance, YOU FORFEIT YOUR REMAINING GIFT CARD BALANCE. This would be a huge loss in my case, so it is better for me to take the retention offer of 6 months at $2.99/month and skip this year's deal. I'll have to reevaluate again next year.
