DirecTV Now offering specials for HBO, monthly discount offers, and more

AT&T’s DirecTV Now customers who have an Apple TV were notified that for their ‘continued commitment’ to the service, that the company is throwing in free HBO for an entire year for customers who subscribed to the “Go Big” or “Gotta Have It” monthly plans, or $5.00 off for the monthly tier plans.

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

Announced through AT&T’s DirecTV Now forum, the discounts are automatically applied to customer accounts that were active on Mar. 6. Subscribers who recently cancelled DirecTV Now, or whose accounts were pending cancellation as of Mar. 6, are not eligible for the promotion.

While the reward is accessible to all current customers, only “Go Big” and “Gotta Have It” tiers are eligible for 12 months of completely free HBO streaming. If they opt in, those with lower tier plans “Live a Little” and “Just Right” will see a $5 credit applied to their bills for 6 months. Considering HBO is a $5 per month add-on, lower tier subscribers can apply their credit to try out the premium service for free for half a year.

Finally, customers who prepaid for HBO as part of another offer will see the monthly discount added to their account when the prepayment period expires.

It should be noted that the usual $5 per month HBO charge will automatically resume once the promotional period ends.
