TV and internet providers are giving away free cash this holiday season
Internet and TV providers know that the best way to lure in new customers is by giving them some free money.
These same providers also know that with all the Christmas shopping happening in December, fewer folks are looking to switch their internet or TV plans at the end of the year.
That’s why these providers are practically giving away free gift cards to new customers right now, with cash deals worth up to $300 (!). I’ll walk you through some of the best ones in the section below.
Click on your internet, TV, or streaming service of choice to find all the best provider-specific deals updated monthly.
How to claim your free gift cards
Like I said above, a bunch of internet and TV providers are trying to entice folks to sign up for new plans this time of year.
So, unfortunately, all of these deals are for new customers only. Not great if you’re already an AT&T customer, but if you’re looking to switch providers, now is the time!

- Astound: Get a gift card worth up to $300 when you sign up for an Astound internet plan. Use promo code CYBER at checkout.

Some things never change…
While some providers tend to switch out deals on the reg, others like to keep things more stable (which I appreciate, seeing as I personally update all 20+ of our deals pages each month😅).
