Amazon Prime Video

You can get TNT via a monthly rolling contract with Discovery+. There are also some good deals to add TNT to your existing broadband or TV package, as well as deals for EE mobile customers. Again, we’ve got a dedicated page for all TNT Sports offers.
Apple TV+ deals
There are frequent free trials for newbies and existing customers, meaning Apple TV+ can be one of the cheapest options out there.

You’ll sometimes be able to get a free Paramount+ trial when you first sign up, but it might be best waiting until there’s a 30 day offer.

Free streaming services
Fed up with all those subscriptions? You don’t have to pay for these – but you will have to watch adverts in most cases.
Tubi
This service from Fox was new to the UK in July 2024. You can watch a handful of films you’ll have heard of, and 20,000 you haven’t! Hopefully the quality of content will increase in coming months, though it’s not all bad – we spotted Billy Elliot, Child’s Play 2 and Kill Bill in a quick look. Check out Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar – it’s hilarious.
Film rental deals
Rakuten: free rental via Octoplus
Every month until the end of Jun 2025 you’ll be able to claim a free rental via Rakuten if you have energy via Octopus. You’ll need to go via the Octoplus Rewards tab in your account to claim the voucher.
New codes are released each Friday, but you can only use one each month.
Amazon: £1.99 new releases for Prime members
Amazon often has selected new rentals for £1.99 if you’re with Prime. If you’re not already a Prime member you can get a 30-day free trial once a year.
Chili: 20% off your first rental
The first time you sign up you should be able to get money off your first rental. The discount code is usually automatically applied at checkout, but check first. It used to be 50% but has now dropped to 20% off.
Also you might find a limited choice – many of the big titles aren’t available there.
YouTube Premium deals
YouTube Premium: family and student plans
If you pay for more than one account in your household a Family plan works out cheaper at £19.99 a month. Or if you can validate your student ID you can pay just £7.99.
YouTube Premium: one month free
The standard free trial for YouTube Premium is one month (it’s occasionally increased). You’ll get ad-free viewing, the ability to download and access to YouTube Music Premium (a bit like Spotify). You can only get this if you are a new user of YouTube Premium, YouTube Music or Google Play Music. At the end of the trial it’s £11.99 a month, so cancel if you don’t want to keep paying.

Mubi shows a selection of cult, indie and world cinema. It’s £11.99 a month but sometimes there are decent deals.

The standard Mubi free trial is just a week, but this offer gets you a month for free.

They’ll try to get you to sign up for the full Prime, but you need to select the cheaper option while signing up
I need to join Prime Video today to watch tennis, but I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find the £5.99 video-only rate anywhere. Looks like I’ll have to pay full price.
By the way, I’m not receiving any notifications of new posts by email so I never saw your response and I struggled to find this thread again. And yes, I have checked Spam.
Update: got there eventually but I couldn’t tell you how. Then suffered from a weird payment glitch which resolved itself almost immediately
Maybe I’m not getting emails because I refused to sign up with WordPress?
Thanks for the MUBI deal. I wouldn’t have known if not for your email. I bought the three months for £1 offer and used a different email address from when I was previously a member, just in case.
Hi there, looks like the Mubi £1 offer has expired or is the link wrong? Cheers
Ah, my fault – for some reason the link change didn’t work. Should be fine now
Hi
The one year Mubi hack doesn’t work anymore , once you cancel Scribd your subscription to Mubi gets cancelled a few weeks later.
Thanks Si!
britbox is now only 7day free trial not 30
Cashback for Disney+ on Quidco and Topcashback does not seem to be available any more.
Hi Dorit, yes sadly it seemed to end about 4pm. I put a little update note on there earlier. Fingers crossed it comes back!
Hi,
re Disney+ : there is another option if you are a pickmypostcode member. If you sign up through them you get £20 added to your bonus. Obviously you will only get this if you win, but better than nothing (and if you were so lucky and were to win on there twice you get it twice 🙂
