What to check before buying
- Eligibility: Many promos apply only to new or returning subscribers — check whether your account qualifies.
- Renewal & billing: Intro prices often auto‑renew at the standard monthly rate; set a reminder if you plan to cancel before renewal.
- Sign‑up path: Some discounts require subscribing directly (Apple TV+), while others work via third‑party add‑ons (HBO Max via Prime Video) — follow the specified checkout flow.
- Regional content & quality: Catalogs, live sports availability and 4K support vary by country and title — verify what’s included in your region.
Final thoughts
Black Friday is a smart time to try new streaming services or lock in short-term access to premium shows and films at a discount. Choose based on how you watch (offline downloads, live sports, 4K) and be mindful of post‑promo pricing so you don’t get surprised by renewal charges.
