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.

Come on.. HBO stating that the original price is $11 with only 1080P, no sports, with ads and 2 devices only??!! Can their base pricing be any better, lol.

No wonder they had to discount it down to $3. Considering the items included in the package, this should be more like $1.1 Smilie

Grabbed this one. I've never had HBO but at 3 bucks a month I'm sure it will be worth it.

In the future, they will make you pay to watch ads, and they will call it a "deal."

Protip, I got hbo with ads via Verizon not realizing my ad blocker (ublock origin on firefox) blocks the ads. Works on YouTube and I think Netflix too. So if you mainly watch on a browser its the same as the expensive subscription.

Holy damn! Trying to watch House of Dragons and there were 4 blocks of ads in each episode. Each block has 3 ads around 30 seconds or less. 12 ads in ONE episode. 🤬

4*3*~.5=<6min of ads. Hard to believe in the 80s the average 1 hr TV episode had 16 minutes of ads.
