Also available as a standalone deal, for those who don't have Hulu.

If you read the terms and conditions, you can only redeem this on a Hulu or ESPN account. The Disney/Hulu bundle is billed through Disney. It states you cannot redeem this if billed on Disney, making the AMEX card member discount of $7 ineffective for the additional $3 bucks (Disney bundle $5 plus what people wanted of HBO $3 totaling $8 bucks). I personally tried and no go.

I'd go stand alone because in 2026 Hulu itself goes bye bye and will be a tab in Disney+.

anyone who has hulu free from t-mobile do you see this if this gets added on as well as an option or won't work as the subscription is through t-mobile
Just tried it, and it doesn't work. Says it has to be billed through Hulu.

On the bright side, Amex blue cash card (no annual fee version) lifted the minimum spend for the $7 a month Hulu bundle credit, so adding all 3 makes it $7.98 (plus taxes) and you'd get $7 back each month. Prior deals didn't include HBO bundle and you needed a minimum spend so it made it more difficult to take advantage of the credit.
It seems like you can't add the two promos together.

Can you at least create two separate accounts, one for HBO and one for Disney which is $8 combined - and have the Amex BCE take $7 off?

I see the below when looking at the terms. Works at DisneyPlus or Hulu (or ESPN for that matter).

Get up to a $7 monthly statement credit after using your enrolled Blue Cash Everyday Card for a subscription purchase, including a bundle subscription purchase, at DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com, or Plus.espn.com U.S. websites. Subscription subject to auto-renewal.

Does anyone know if this add-on is available on a Hulu student account (student account directly through Hulu, not Spotify)?

Why not just create two separate accounts, one to watch Hulu/Disney and the other to watch HBO (albeit you have a dupe Hulu).

I was going to cancel my Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max ad free subscription. They just jacked it up to $35(something) after subscribing for $30(something). I subscribed through HBO Max and they offered me the same subscription for $19.99 for the next 3 months starting on my renewal date in Dec. Not the greatest deal, but I hate how paid subscriptions with adds have become inundated with the quantity of adds. I'm also not happy that HBO MAX doesn't give you 4K, and Dolby Vision for this subscription price.

That wouldn't be cost effective in any way

^ Correct. For HBO add-on, it requires Hulu @ $9.99.

That's a 300% price increase from last year on the annual deal.

Yawn. It's always the ad-supported tiers on all these streaming services that go on sale, never the ad-free ones.
