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+.

Community Reviews

This Hulu add on is mainly attractive for getting HBO Max with ads at a low monthly price, especially for people trying to stack it with Amex streaming credits. The strongest upside is the potential to keep Hulu billing in play while trimming out of pocket cost, and the Hulu app itself is preferred over HBO's app by some. The catch is that the promo is finicky, often requiring Hulu billing and a qualifying base plan, and it frequently jumps to $9.99 or fails to combine with the $5 Disney and Hulu bundle. Ads are heavy, and the plan does not include 4K.

No. That's not true. You cannot combine the $5 Hulu/Disney+ deal with the $3 HBO add-on deal, because the HBO add-on deal is offered only on non-discounted base bundles. Once you sign-up for the $5 Hulu/Disney+ deal, the HBO add-on is $10. Making it $15 total for Hulu/Disney+/HBO. After the $7 Amex credit, you'll be paying $8 per month out of pocket. Better to get the $5 Hulu/Disney+ deal, and then sign up for the HBO $3 deal separately (directly via HBO). Amex will give back $5 only. But this way you'll be paying only $3 out of pocket per month.
Thank you for this info. I thought the hulu deal was a basic sub, oh well. I was thinking I was doing something wrong. Wish someone would be clear about this up front.

Does anyone know a way to get this deal if I am currently traveling outside US? It auto-redirects me to local country offering, and hence cannot avail of the offer Frown

Not even seeing the Disney+/Hulu option for $5/month. Is there a sign up link or are there other restrictions?

The terms states below::You can subscribe to Disney+ for $4.99 and Hulu (Hulu and HBO ) for 2.99 and still get $7 back in Amex credits. Which makes $1 out of pocket if additional payment.

Make a purchase of a streaming subscription or a bundle subscription on DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com, or Plus.espn.com U.S. websites using your enrolled Card, or log into your existing Disney bundle account and enter your enrolled Card as the payment method for one of these streaming subscriptions.

The problem is you can't sign up HBO addon at $2.99 standalone or with the Hulu/Disney+ $4.99 bundle. You can sign up for HBO standalone on HBO.com but that won't get you the Amex credit.
