Our Verdict
Last year they had the same deal, but it was for $0.99 a month. You can try going through a portal as well, clicking through won’t show this offer but you should be able to click back to the homepage to see it and then hope it tracks. No guarantee it will track/not be clawed back at a later date but might as well try if you’re going to sign up anyway. Sometimes Swagbucks offers $35 for a Hulu subscription, that’s a money making deal so might be better for people that don’t really care about Hulu (unfortunately not currently offered). Paying for an ad supported service is an easy pass for me, I hate having to sit through ads and won’t pay for the privilege of doing that.
It’ll be back on Black Friday. I’ve been on a 0.99$ payment plan for 2 years now
TopCashback Is offering $2.10 when you click through to this deal, but it’s for new subscribers or people who haven’t had an active account in the last 12 months only, so people who signed up for last year’s deal won’t be eligible on that account. Of course, there’s always another account… 😉
I chatted them as a current subscriber. They couldn’t apply the offer into my account and the CSR admitted that it makes more sense for me to just cancel and create a new account…
FYI I got a direct offer for this and it says as long as you haven’t had Hulu in the past 3 months (not the usual year) then you are eligible.
Wish there was a deal on the ad free version. We love watching shows with ZERO ads – our most watched service these days.
Does it show the $1.99 pricing during checkout? I click through the promo on the homepage but then it shows the $5.99 month pricing.
Is anyone else getting the same thing?
As to still showing $5.99… did you have a subscription in the past? Some say that blocks the promo pricing.
Yup that’s it. Got excited because it said new and existing
Clear your browser, then try again with a different email and card.
The fine print says that it has to be 12 months from the time you last had a membership. However I got an email with a code that was the equivalent of this offer for those who were not ssubscribed for past 3 months. If you did not get this offer, it is still worth chatting to try to see if they can do anything.
Check your email if you’ve had them in the past. I got a promo code to use for the 1.99 price (said you couldn’t have been a subscriber within the last 3 months).
It’s unfortunate that paying for a service that serves you commercials (this, cable, Sling, etc) is still a thing as we approach 2020. It should be either free with commercials (YouTube, OTA TV, etc) or paid with no commercials ($12 tier of Hulu, Netflix, etc). Of course, a one-time fee with no commercials (OTA TV with Plex) is nice too.
If you have an otherwise unused Discover or Wells Fargo credit card, you can sign up using that card and it is effectively free:

(I used a US Bank card for the 99 cent deal for the last 12 months.)
The discover trick will not work if you are charged tax.
Hulu does not charge tax.
In some states it does. Same with Netflix. Same with Amazon Prime subscriptions.
How would that work though? This deal is for $1.99 per month, not $0.99.
Discover forgives $2.00 and Wells Fargo forgives $1.99.
I got in on this deal last year when it was 99 cents/month. Wasn’t impressed…. long commercial breaks, ended up never even using it even though I kept it the whole year… so they made $12 on me.
+1
I didn’t mind it. I just got up and did things during the commercials. There’s not enough content to warrant double the cost for no commercials. Certainly cheaper than cable.
I do get a kick out of the “limited commercials” phrase. While most people think it means less commercials, it really just means the variety is limited, over and over again 🙂
21 people upvoted? 🤔 There are subliminal sataniic messages in those commercials. This would explain a lot of what I see out there in the world.
