Apple TV + deals
Apple TV+: Seven-day free trial
You can get a 7-day free trial of Apple TV +, and it’s then £4.99 a month. It might also be possible to get an annual subscription for £50 once you’ve finished your free trial.
Three months free with purchase
There’s also a free 3 month trial for people who buy a new iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or Apple TV. These are all very expensive so only buy them if you were planning on anyway, not just to get a few months of Apple TV +. The trial starts when you activate it, not when you buy the device, though there will be a deadline to do this.
Mubi deals
Mubi shows a selection of cult, indie and world cinema. It’s £9.99 a month. You also get a free weekly ticket to the cinema – but only at selected cinemas for a pre-chosen film.
Mubi: 30-day free trial
The standard Mubi free trial is just a week, but his offer gets you a month for free.
Mubi: One year free hack
I spotted this trick on Instagram (credit to Decadently Frugal and Mr Deals Manchester).
If you take out a free trial of the audio-book service Sribd, you have access to a set of membership perks. One of these is a year of Mubi. Here’s how to get it.
At the moment the free trial is 30-days. You’ll need to enter your card details for Scribd, so make sure you remember to cancel if you don’t want to keep paying (it’s £9.99 a month).
Once you’ve signed up to Scribd, head to your profile (on desktop it’s in the top right-hand corner of the page). Choose Scribd Perks and you’ll see the offers available.
Click through and you’ll be given a code to redeem at Mubi. Use that to sign up and you’ll have a year’s access for free. There’s no need to enter your card details, which means you won’t be charged when the year ends.
BritBox deals
The treaming service from ITV and the BBC costs £5.99 a month It’ll mainly have old programmes from these broadcasters though there is some original programming too, such as new Spitting Image.
Britbox: Six months free if you’re with EE
Anyone who has a pay monthly mobile or tablet SIM (so not PAYG) can claim six months of EE for free.
Britbox: 7- day free trial for all
Everyone else can try BritBox for free for 7-days.
Britbox: One year for £59.99
This annual subscription is effectively two months free. You’ll pay £59. Get Britbox for a year.
Starzplay deals
Starzplay is a film and TV streaming service with original content as well as a range of classics. You can watch it via the Starzplay website, or through services such as Prime Video, Apple TV, Rakuten and Roku.
Amazon often runs £1.99 offers for six months. I’ll share anything similar here when they’re available.
Starzplay: 7-day free trial and free rental
Take out a free trial for Starzplay via Rakuten and you’ll also get 500 points (worth £5) to go towards a movie rental or purchase. More details here.

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 🙂
