Streaming deals roundup — verified offers & notes
Streaming prices keep climbing, but promotions still pop up. Below is a concise summary of the deals referenced, plus verification status and official links where available. I removed the original Engadget RSS link and linked only to official provider pages or reliable sources.
Verified / Official links

Status: Confirmed current offer on Spotify’s site. New users can get 1 month free on Premium. https://www.spotify.com/premium/ - DoorDash DashPass (annual) — bundle notes
Status: DashPass annual is available from DoorDash; bundled promos with other services change frequently. Check DoorDash for current offers: https://www.doordash.com/dashpass/ - YouTube TV — offer terms
Status: YouTube TV runs periodic promotions; exact offers (like 3 months for $150) vary and may not be currently active. Check official offer terms: https://tv.youtube.com/learn/offer-terms/ - Sling
Status: Sling frequently has first-month discounts. Current offers change — see Sling’s site for up-to-date pricing and promos: https://www.sling.com/ - Peacock
Status: Peacock pricing is posted on their site; first-responder discounts mentioned in some reports weren’t verifiable at time of check — contact Peacock support or check the Peacock perks page: https://www.peacocktv.com/
Deals that lacked official confirmation
- Starz one year for $24 — No current official page found for Starz at $24/year. This may have been a limited promotion or third-party offer. Check Starz directly for current plans and promos.
- DashPass Annual + HBO Max (with ads) for $96/year — No official bundle page found for this combined price at the time of checking. Individual pricing is available at DoorDash and HBO Max.
Advice
- Wait for promos before subscribing if possible — many services run discounts during major sale periods (Black Friday) or occasionally throughout the year.
- Use student/first responder discounts where eligible and verify status through the provider’s verification partner (Unidays, SheerID, etc.).
- Annual plans often save money vs. monthly billing if you plan to keep the service long-term.
Sources checked: official provider pages (Spotify, DoorDash DashPass, YouTube TV offer terms, Sling, Peacock). Some offers in the original roundup could not be currently verified; promos change frequently, so always confirm on the provider’s site.
