Some states charge tax on streaming services, so if you're setting up a virtual credit card number, take that into account when setting the daily spend limit for it.

data point - i can confirm that this works with the amex platinum $20/month ($240/yr) entertainment credit benefit. i paid 19.99 for the yearly plan on 11/22 and got 19.99 credit on 11/23
note: make sure you log into amex and click to enroll first

I was a platinum member, but moved to a new house and started flex as a new customer, but didn't get peacock free because I am not in the premium tiers of service length
I find the ad breaks very short compared to cable viewing also. Let's say a bravo show runs an hour on cable - that's 40 minutes of show plus 20 minutes of commercials, Peacock only shows about 4 minutes of ads

I am expecting something to come along like a "Roku Bundle" where you pay the cost of two services and get 4 bundled. "Movie Mania" or "Sports Fans" etc type stuff. There is the Disney bundle but it is just based on what Disney owns and not a particular interest. Disney fans don't want to see Peter Griffin's bare @$$ on a thumbnail while scrolling through shows on Hulu for example. The future is bright I think.
Ok.
Either way, I'm not paying full price. 🤬 WWE!

Also, this was previously shared in the earlier pages, but if you are using a Gmail email address, you can use a "+" to modify your address, but it'll still go to the same inbox. For instance: let's say your email is "[email protected]." Changing it to [email protected] will still end up going to the same inbox, but the steaming service considers it a different email address.
I added the 01 because I can then rotate the address in the future to "02," which makes it easier for me to keep track of which iteration I'm using.
Or if you dont want to make a new email address, just add a period after the first letter in your current email address, and pcock will treat it as a new one.
That's what I did last year, and this year I'm gonna take the period out.
I will say this - since it considers it a new account, your watchlist will NOT carry over, if that's a big deal to you (I just made a screenshot of my watchlist last year when I switched to the period-email address, and added the important things back on the new one).
There are also some free streaming services that are available on Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, computer, phone, etc.Tubi (tubitv.com) is one I use all the time - I find movies I am interested in on there that aren't on services I pay for. Others include Freevee (owned by Amazon and formerly known as ImdB TV), Pluto TV, and Sling Freestream. Vudu is a service that sells and rents digital movies, but has a large selection of movies that are free with ads (rotates frequently).
If looking for a Roku device, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is on sale for $29.99 at Roku itself and several retailers. I'm sure there is a thread on it here at SD. It is a great steamer - I have it on my bedroom TV and works great. The slightly higher spec Ultra is also un sale but I'm not sure it's worth the price increase.

edit: went to try to cancel and they offered me the $1.99/mo for three months..skipped it to risk trying to apply it on the 28th/29th, then thought better of it and just re-started, then repeated but took the offer instead (overrode a previous promotion they've given for $2.50/mo that was expiring december 28th)

Ah well.. the $40 extra per year won't kill me, but it was worth a shot. I know, I could probably sign up again under a different email address, but I just don't want to rebuild all my show preferences, find where I am in series we already started, etc.
EDIT: I'm going to try cancelling the service and then have it "lapse" until the 27th, then re-sign up using this deal. Unless someone knows if it must "lapse" for some extended duration before one can use this deal.
