HBO Max Yearly Plans: Ad-Free $105/yr, With Ads Expired

I used TopCB for supposedly $18.90 in CB Sunday afternoon and it has not posted.
Has anyone gotten the cashback from top?

not sure what you mean by posted since that's not one of the options. if it is listed it will say pending, confirmed, payable, claimed, or declined. mine says pending since 10/10.

Wow...so many people on here complaining. I'm pretty sure that the people saying there is nothing on HBO Max couldn't name all of the offered content. But they are soooo sure there is nothing there and it's not worth it?

I'll have to assume that all of them are probably so young they weren't around when you had to pay more than the cost of HBO Max now for a single channel (eventually up to like 7-10 if you don't count the East/West as dupes). With no On Demand or DVR unless you made room or had a blank VHS (and still had to have the program on to record it).

It's literally HALF the cost of what HBO (channel) has always been. And that's for the ad free option. Which was never an option when sub'd via cable. I'm sure most ppl spend more than the monthly cost every day for lunch.

Seems there's a lot of out of touch, entitled people out there that seem to have gotten used to (and believe) that any streaming service can survive on $5-$10/mo. I don't care if they have 300 million subs. That just means they have to pay even more to build and maintain the infrastructure needed for the service and it's not sustainable.

I know this because it's my job to know. Years ago I was administering a certain well known site that held the title for pushing the most traffic on the internet well into Netflix's move to streaming. (And still does a fairly large chunk). If people think it is ANYTHING like "running your own Plex or Jellyfin", just on a larger scale, they are 1000% wrong.

Enjoy the apparently "overpriced" service while you can. All prices on all streaming services will continue to go up. Or they won't be around anymore. Plain and simple. You cannot increase user base while also having the storage and bandwidth requirements go up without spending a $hit ton on the infrastructure, coders and devs to keep the innovation coming, admins and support to keep the above mentioned infrastructure running while also not forgetting about everyone else that's needed outside of the direct IT staff...

Hell, I remember spending millions on TWO decked out Isilons for *temporary* content storage. And it wasn't even half of the space required. That's just storage. And this was 20+ years ago. And that price comes nowhere near the cost of the core and edge network equipment. Could blow millions on a single router..and of course you can't have just what you need. REDUNDANCY is a bitch. So multiply all the cost by at least 3.

And ppl complaining about $8 and some change. SMH

You worked in admin and you think 1000% wrong is a real statistic? I mean if they were 9% wrong they could experience a 1000% increase in wrongness I suppose. But come on if you want to be taken seriously...

TopCB did register my purchase of a Premium annual sub, but it strangely says "pending $0.00", not $9.50 like TopCB was promising. TopCB explicitly said that the UEFA50 promo code was compatible with their discount so I have no idea what's up with this.

Capital One has up $32 offers!!!

Have you tried this? Seems as though the Sam's Offer may cancel the Rakooten offer? If you did, in what order did you click everything?

The Sam's Club offer is a card-linked offer that uses Figg by Chase under the hood. First, activate the offer with AMEX by 10/14. Then, you'll link your AMEX card with Sam's Club Bonus Offers and activate the offer at Sam's Club. You do not need to click through to HBO Max website from the Sam's Club website. Then you click-through to the HBO Max website from the cashback portal. All of the cashback is YMMV. I did try it myself with AMEX, TCB and Sam's Club. There is some more discussion on https://slickdeals.net/f/16099633-eligible-amex-cardholders-new-members-1-year-hbo-max-ad-free-streaming-service-55-after-50-statement-credit-w-amex-offer.

Sam's Club just canceled my cash back today, which had been pending. The FAQ suggested it was because I already had a "competing" cash back click-through offer from TCB & you can't double-dip.
