How do existing accounts enable this?
Attempt to cancel your subscription from the manage subscription area in Profile section. It will offer you the next 3 billing cycles with ads at $1.99.

We just finished up The Wire recently and I believe it was ad free. Also, Treme about Post-Katrina New Orleans from the creator of The Wire was excellent and ad free. That one is a bit more of an acquired taste though. Kinda need an appreciation for the musical scene of N'Oleans.
I watched it. I love New Orleans, especially the food and music. Even with me, show needed a crime or supernatural plot. Slice of life post-Katrina just too slow and niche.

Good to hear that they're still not inserting ads on HBO legacy programming. It's the best of the back catalogue and most of the really great stuff. $2 to binge HoTD ad-free is a compelling offer if you didn't watch it.

Now see, I watched House of the Dragon and thought that was slow and plodding with uninteresting characters. Loved GOT though. I also couldn't stand Lord of the Rings over on Amazon. To each their own though.

HOTD and LOTR are both slower fantasy. They're still trying to figure out the right way to balance spectacle with the 95% talking. Both pulled off the 5% spectacle imho, but the 95% was a bit of a mixed bag. LOTR was really messy with its simplistic YA politics, HOTD is basically sexy The Crown with Dragons. Both too slow, although HOTD has some more upside with the pending civil war that can ratchet stuff up.

That's different from the value proposition of paying $2 to enjoy one of the biggest, if not the biggest TV event series of 2022. TV is or is becoming like movies. There will be a few pricey good blockbusters and a few "other" cheaper movies people will want to watch any given year, with the general audience all watching the blockbusters while fragmenting more on the cheaper movies (Oscar-bait, action, comedy, horror, etc.).

Personally, I think HBO should have adapted Dunk and Egg buddy comedy--although no dragons or CGI wonders, a lot of castles and fight scenes. Or a time jump and pay for an exceptional screenplay writer who might be able to replicate GRRM's talents at plot and characterization. Ronald D. Moore and Lindelof-level, although not sure either of them could pull it off. It's hard because exceptional writers are rare and not always consistent. GRRM wrote a ton, for example, and his only truly exceptional works are ASOIAF and D&E towards the end of his career, with both likely to be unfinished.

If you cancel, will it stop billing after 3 months, cancel immediately or cancel after 1 month? Do you have to manually cancel before the 3 months is over?

Hi TH0R, checking the terms and conditions details link on the promotion page, the last paragraph shows:

"After your discounted subscription period, your subscription will auto-renew each month at the then-current subscription price for the With Ads monthly plan (currently, $9.99/mo. plus applicable tax), on a recurring basis, unless you cancel before the renewal. To cancel your subscription, see Subscription in the profile settings of your HBO Max account. If you switch plans during your promotional period, you may lose the benefit of your promotional offer. If you cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access to HBO Max for the remainder of time you have already paid for."


So speaking for myself, and as mentioned by another member - I would think if you want to have 3 months of the subscription you'd need to manually cancel after third charge, otherwise the subscription will auto-renew at the current monthly rate they have listed.

So far for me, 1-2 minutes at the beginning of movies only and they make a big deal about it before and after the commercials about how the movie will then be commercial-free. laugh out loud

Predator had no ads at all, but the Matrix movies all had ads. (I checked parts of them all)

If you want it for three months you would cancel right after the third charge of $1.99. So, like two months and a day or two after you sign up.
Thanks! nod

Any chance that there is a better black Friday deal that would be worth waiting for?
