I have two phones (work and personal). Android phone: no alternative billing and cheapest is 10.99/mo. iPhone: alternative billing with 2.99/mo deal. Same lapsed account.

Community Reviews

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 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 signed up & checked for TNT TBS TruTV basketball. While games show up on the App etc, this plan doesn't cover the games... you need; Std or Premium plan(s). (An Upgrade from the $2.99 plan here. Can always sign up, then (maybe) upgrade in March for March Madness, then back down in April. Or end it altogether

If I paid for a yearly plan back in April and switch to this monthly plan, do I get any kind of money back or it that all lost?
So I have an annual basic plan good until July 2026. When I went to 'change subscription' & clicked on 'change to monthly' it shows it starts $2.99/month for 12 months after my annual is up in July.

& yes I took a screenshot...lol

Paying to see ads is wild. I wouldn't take that even if it were free...
My guy, have you never heard of ad blockers?

Was able to see it going straight through my HBO Max login on my PC https://auth.hbomax.com/product. I have a long expired subscription. Unfortunately without a way to upgrade to no ads at a discount, and without 4k, I'm not super interested. If it were discounted no-ad options I'd go for it!

All are ad-free? Can you add additional households? And do you have a link?
Same link as the deal posted. Just scroll down a little and click on the bundle option. Ad-free tier for all three is 32.99/mo. It says stream HBO on 2 devices at once.

The bundled plan even if ad-free is HD only, no 4K.

WB really trying to find ways to make their streaming service less valuable than their competition..
