Hulu Deals

Save money on your Hulu subscription
At $11.99 a month (for the ad-supported plan, that is), Hulu isn’t all that expensive, especially considering the on-demand streamer’s vast library of original and acquired content.
But who has two thumbs and is always on the hunt for a bargain? You guys (or identifier of your choice). Here are the best Hulu deals for students, Disney fans, bargain hunters, and everyone in between.

What to look for with Hulu deals
Ads vs. no ads
If you’re an ad hater (and if you are, I can’t blame you), you’ll need to keep an eye out when hunting for Hulu deals. Most entry-level deals apply to the Hulu (With Ads) plan. If you prefer an uninterrupted TV-watching experience, look for deals that let you upgrade to the No Ads tier or offer a significant discount on that plan (like the ad-free Disney+ bundle).
Add-on flexibility
Hulu allows you to integrate premium networks like HBO Max, Paramount+, and STARZ directly into your Hulu interface. Look for deals that offer free trial periods for these add-ons so you can sample extra content without the commitment. Learn more about Hulu add-ons on Hulu’s website.
Hulu deals FAQ
Does Hulu have any special deals?
If you want to get the most out of your (no ads) plan, you can get the Disney+ Premium, Hulu, and ESPN Select Bundle Premium for $29.99 per month. It's pricey for sure, but at least you get three services out of it. Hulu + Live TV also comes with an ad-free Disney Bundle for $99.99 a month.
How can I save money on a Hulu subscription alone?
If you’re not interested in any of the discounts or bundles above, there is another way to save a few bucks on a standalone, ad-supported Hulu subscription: pay for a year upfront. With an annual subscription to basic Hulu for $119.99/yr., you’ll save $23.89 over 12 months. This deal isn’t available for Hulu (No Ads) or either Hulu + Live TV plan.
How do I redeem a Hulu gift card code?
Head over to Hulu’s gift page and enter your gift card’s redemption code—that’s it. If you don’t have a Hulu account yet, you’ll be asked to make a new one. Once your gift card money runs out, your account will be canceled on its own. If you already have a Hulu subscription, you can redeem your Hulu gift card on your account page. After your gift card money is used up, your subscription will go back to using the card on file.
Is Hulu really 99 cents a month?
No, Hulu was temporarily $0.99/mo. for Black Friday, but during the rest of the year the cheapest Hulu deal is $1.99/mo. for students.

Is Hulu still free with Amazon Prime?
