I signed up with the link and can confirm it doesn't work on any device that isn't a fire tv device. Tried using it on my phone, browser, and LG tv and it doesn't work on any of them. Tried logging in directly through HBO and using prime as a service provider and got an error saying HBO can't verify my subscription.

Amazon and Roku have advertised that they will offer 12 months of HBO Max for $2.99 a month starting tomorrow. (The regular price is $10.99 a month.) A Hulu/Disney Plus bundle of $4.99 a month is also expected to be added on Monday. Paramount Plus will be reduced to $2.99 a month for two months starting on Tuesday.

My sub ran out few months ago, and I didn't see the option at Amazon, but I launched the HBO app on my iPad and sure enough at the very bottom it said or alternative so I clicked that and Bingo it now had 3 options for billing, the lowest being 2.99 a month for 12 months Smilie Enjoy !! and TY

No, do not CONFIRM unless you see $2.99. When you select the $2.99 plan, scroll all the way down to CONTINUE.
That's what I did. I click continue after selecting the $2.99 option. But when getting to the Apple Pay confirmation, it shows $10.99. Guess I'm just out of luck.

Mine wasn't connecting so I stupidly contact Amazon's Customer Service who then cancelled my subscription and when I told them it broke the promo it was clear they could not possible care less.

So the moral of the story is ... wait and see if there's a better way to sign up this week.

I was able to get the offer ONLY through the HBO Max app on my iPad and my Fire TV stick. It did NOT work for me on my Roku.
FWIW, I had an account that expired in August. I signed into that account through the app on my iPad (not the website), got the message that I needed to resubscribe, and immediately saw the deal. I subscribed right away... Billing is through Apple.

Then I read some other comments about success on Amazon devices (including a tablet) but again, only through the app. So I tried on my Fire TV stick. I had to sign out of my account that I just renewed, and then chose the new subscription button. I immediately saw the offer again. (Screenshot 1)


Tried the same on my Roku and was just offered the standard subscription prices. (screenshot 2)

I also first tried this on my Android phone through the website and the app and wasn't shown the offer.

So 3rd party billing seems to be a factor - except for Android and Roku. And it doesn't seem that you need to be a previous subscriber. Hope that helps!
I received an email from Roku the other day but the HBO and Paramount+ offer links aren't working YET. I'm not tripping. I'm pretty sure it will be on sale directly through HBO by Thanksgiving. So I'll wait.

If you have the right browser shouldn't matter

"right browser". What do you mean? Ad blocker to blockout ads?

Op, @SaltyOne Please update the description to say that subscription must be setup on a device that has Amazon App Store and payments enabled like a Fire TV or Fire tablet.

How bad is the "with ads" version? Are they long interruptions like 2:30 minutes long? :30 seconds? I never have used a "with ads" version. Tempted here because of the 12 months and HBO has quality programming. Thanks

I had the HBO Max with ads version in the past and the ads were brutal. They were long and often and caused my to cancel my subscription. And that was also with a deep discount like this and it still wasn't worth it to me.

Except you shouldn't be using Apple Pay instead of your Apple account balance to subscribe using an app.

You probably have to view your subscription through the Amazon prime app. My wife has hallmark+ and we have to go through the prime app to watch it

Just go to the HBO Max website to sign up. Don't bother signing up through another method. The $2.99 deal is right there as their Black Friday special

I was able to sign in to HBO Max app on my Pixel phone and add a 12 month sub for 2.99 per month. Sub goes through Google Play store, I also had a 10% off the first month offer and you earn points per dollar spent.
