HBO Max Basic with Ads is showing a Black Friday style $2.99 per month offer for 12 months, and it is strongest for lapsed or eligible accounts that can access alternative billing. The deal often appears inside the app or under Change Your Plan, with Apple, Amazon, Roku, Fire TV, and some browser flows all surfacing it for different accounts. The main catch is that eligibility is inconsistent by device and billing path, and the ads tier does not include live sports or 4K. Ad load is real, though some playback is front loaded or lighter on older titles, making this a low cost way to keep Max if ads are acceptable.
The $2.99 alternative billing option can appear in the iOS app flow and be billed through Apple Pay for 12 months.
The deal can work across devices after signing up in one place, such as subscribing on an iPad and then using the Roku app.
The $2.99 rate can start after an existing annual plan expires, with renewal scheduled at the promo price for the following 12 months.
The ads-supported tier can still deliver HD streaming for at least some content.
The $2.99 alternative billing option is not consistently visible across platforms, and it may be missing on Android or in a PC browser.
Basic with Ads can include frequent ad breaks that may be front-loaded and later split across the program.
The promo can fail during verification or billing, including cases where payment shows $10.99 instead of $2.99 or HBO cannot verify a subscription through Amazon.
Some sports coverage is not included in Basic with Ads, and certain TNT/TBS/TruTV basketball games may require a higher tier.

I see posts that say it also works on Amazon devices, billed through Amazon. So maybe 3rd party billing through the app is the trick? Anyone try Roku yet?

I also don't know how frequent the ads are, but if they're anything like the ads on Prime they can be annoying.
