Streaming Success: How Verizon Customers Score Up to 12 Months of Discovery+ for Free
Get ready to binge-watch to your heart's content! Verizon customers can score some serious savings on the freshly launched Discovery+ streaming service. Here's how to take advantage of this fantastic offer.
The new kid on the block – offering content from HGTV, History Channel, TLC, Discovery Channel, Food Network, A&E, and BBC's natural history programming like Planet Earth and Blue Planet – is now live, boasting over 50 originals and tens of thousands of episodes of on-demand content from across the Discovery portfolio. Ordinarily, the service costs $5 per month for its ad-supported tier or $7 per month to go ad-free, but Verizon customers can lay their hands on up to 12 months of the service for free with select Unlimited plans or new Fios or 5G home internet plans.
Ready to dive in? Navigate to the Discovery+ landing page on Verizon's website. Scroll down to the "Four easy ways to discover more" section. If you're already rocking an unlimited plan, choose the rightmost option. If you're planning to upgrade or subscribing through an internet plan, you'll also be able to claim your offer from this menu. Once signed in, selecting the appropriate option should whisk you away to your add-ons menu. Here, you'll see various promotional offers and packages for services like Disney+ and Apple Music. Scroll down until you spy Discovery+ and click the "Get it now" button.
You'll be prompted to accept the terms and conditions before the service can be added to your account. Keep in mind that this offer covers the ad-free version of the service, meaning you'll be responsible for $7 per month after your trial period ends. To avoid any nasty surprises, pop a reminder in your calendar to cancel your subscription when the time comes.
Even if you're not a Verizon customer, you'll still have the opportunity to snag a free trial. Discovery+ provides a week of its service for grabs, after which you'll be billed according to your selection at sign-up ($5 with ads or $7 without). Trust me; it's worth testing out, especially for exclusive access to A Perfect Planet, the new David Attenborough project.
