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.

Same deal as Amazon via Roku Black Friday deals. Easier if you have a Roku TV... No FireStick needed.

I'd rather just pay the full amount for the no-ad version for 2 months out of the year. That's all you need to catch up with anything that you want to see on HBO. I'll just wait for all the episodes of Welcome to Deery to come out.

I currently have an annual subscription that hasn't expired yet
If I take advantage of this offer, will it start when my annual subscription ends for 12 months or does it start right away?

Your annual will go until it expires. Then you will be billed $2.99 for 12 months after that. Then it will go to current rates (unless you opt into some other offer again before that one ends).Example - my annual 99.99 ends May 2026. I cancelled current plan and selected the black friday monthly plan. Now, starting in May 2026 I will get billed 2.99 until May 2027.
