    I get Apple gift cards with credit card points and use those for my subscriptions so I don’t have to lay out cash. Currently Apple gift cards are on ‘sale’ for a lower redemption rate on some Chase cards that let you use points for gift cards. I did the same with Hulu a year or so ago but haven’t seen those gift cards recently.

    Personally, I’ve been frustrated with the percentage increases of all of the streaming services this year. Not because I can’t afford it, but rather due to the idea of supporting such large increases by blindly renewing.

    Thus, I adopted the monthly activation strategy others here have discussed. That is, I canceled all my services and will activate for a month when I see a new season of a series released. After watching the series, I will deactivate the service for a few months, or until the new season is released.

    I realize that this means nothing to these companies, but it makes me think I’m doing something.

      I was searching the internet to find some way to save on these costs & affirmation, doing the monthly and binging sounds the way to go gif just hope the shows are released completely, otherwise have to wait until they are.
