AT&T isn’t one of the cheaper internet and TV providers out there, but it’s still possible for new subscribers to score a discount with them.
AT&T’s biggest discount advantage: in addition to internet, wireless, and internet livestreaming TV services, AT&T also owns DIRECTV and HBO®. Meaning, AT&T can offer some exclusive cross-promotional deals with HBO, HBO Max, and DIRECTV that other providers can’t.
But, most of them are good for only a year, while most of AT&T’s services lock you into a two-year contract—a sneaky trick, for sure. Keep that in mind as you check out five of AT&T’s best deals and promotions.
Deal #1: HBO Max free for a year with AT&T TV
When you sign up for AT&T TV, not to be confused with AT&T’s other internet-delivered livestreaming TV service, AT&T TV NOW, you’ll get a year of HBO Max included (regularly $14.99 a month, amounting to a savings of $179.88).
HBO Max, which is a streaming, super-sized HBO with more shows and movies, requires a streaming app separate from AT&T TV. HBO Max reverts to its standard rate after 12 months if not canceled.
This offer applies only to AT&T TV’s CHOICE and above plans, which excludes the $59.99 a month ENTERTAINMENT plan. Also, you’re limited to one HBO Max account per household.

Deal #2: HBO Max free for a year with DIRECTV
You can also get HBO Max free for a year when you sign up for DIRECTV satellite service. As with the AT&T TV deal, this one applies only to DIRECTV’s CHOICE and above plans, leaving out the ENTERTAINMENT ($64.99 a month) package.
DIRECTV’s CHOICE, and ULTIMATE plans also come with three free months of CINEMAX®, SHOWTIME®, STARZ®, and EPIX premium channels (adding up to $125.97 in total savings). When three months are up, you’ll be charged for these premium channels at their standard rates unless you cancel them.

Deal #3: Bundle AT&T TV with AT&T Internet
AT&T TV requires an internet connection to function, but not necessarily AT&T internet service—it’s more convenient to bundle, though. You’ll save $10.00 a month when bundling AT&T TV with AT&T Internet for the first year (a savings of $120.00). But the internet price bumps up from $35.00 to $55.00 a month after.
