ZDNET’s key takeaways

  • Some YouTube TV subscribers can save up to $80.
  • The discount is hidden in your settings page.
  • Users are seeing the discount last up to 4 months.

If you’re a YouTube TV subscriber, you might be able to save up to $80 on your bill — but you have to track down the discount on your own.

Usually, when it comes to scoring a discount on your internet service or another subscription, you have to go through the frustrating “threatening to cancel” dance. But YouTube TV is offering a hidden discount to some subscribers that only takes a few clicks to uncover.

A recent Reddit post showed some users scoring the discount for four months, which would be an $80 savings. It’s probably not a coincidence that this discount is popping up at the end of football season, when a lot of sports fans might be looking to cancel their subscription.

How to find the YouTube TV discount

Some previous discounts have only shown up if you accessed it through a web browser, so you’ll want to start on the desktop version instead of the app or on your TV.

  1. Click your profile picture in the top right corner and go to the settings page.
  2. Under “Your Plan,” where you see your plan and price, click “Manage.”
  3. If you’re eligible, you’ll see the offer with a button to claim.

Alternatively, you can justclick this link to go straight to your YouTube TV membership settings in a desktop browser. If you see an offer and claim it, you’ll get an email confirmation.

Don’t see the offer?

There isn’t an official explanation as to which subscribers get the discount, but the consensus is, if you claimed this offer the last time (September of last year), it won’t show up this time. Google offered a similar discount when a blackout affected the availability of Disney and ESPN content.

I did claim the offer last time, and I’m not seeing it now on my account, so that seems to be true.
