YouTube TV has seen price hikes that left many subscribers frustrated. The latest increase, announced just days ago, will raise the monthly fee by $10, bringing it to $82.99/month starting January 13, 2025.
To address backlash and prevent cancellations, YouTube TV is offering some subscribers a $10 discount to keep their current price of $72.99/month for six months. This limited-time offer could help retain long-term users who are hesitant to pay more.
How to get $10 discount
Reddit users recently revealed two ways to score this discount:
- Chat support: Open YouTube TV's live chat and mention "retention discount." If eligible, a support agent might provide you with a promo code that keeps your monthly cost at $72.99.
- Cancel and save: Start the cancellation process in your settings (Membership > Manage). When asked for the reason, select “cost” or refer to the price increase. In some cases, this triggers the $10 discount offer.
Both methods seem to work for some, though results may vary. One Redditor even reported a refund after facing issues with the promo code.
The $10 discount reflects YouTube TV’s effort to soften the blow of the price hike. While temporary, it provides relief for users who value the service but find the rising costs difficult to manage. This strategy helps YouTube TV maintain its user base amid growing competition in the streaming space.
