Did you know that May 20 is Streaming Day? I didn’t, but Roku does and is celebrating by offering up to 90% premium channel subscriptions via its Roku Channel (it helps when you create the day in question).
You have to act fast since the deals only last until Monday, May 25. But the deals on offer are available for more than 30 streaming options, including some of the best streaming services available. Some of these deals will get you a subscription for as low as $1 a month.
Catches and caveats
There is a big catch: not every deal is equal. Every subscription has its own price and deal length. For example, Howdy will only get you a 7-day free trial, while MGM Plus is giving you two months for 99% off per month.
Most deals are capped at two months, with a couple like Crunchyroll going for three months. From what I can tell, the longest-lasting deal is SiriusXM for 12 months and costs $5 per month.
However, it’s still a great time to give a service like Apple TV ($6 per month for two months) or Starz ($2 per month for two months) a try. Binge the shows and movies you want and then cancel right before renewal.
Nicely, the deals save you a bunch of money for a couple of months, but you can get access to all of the subscriptions through Roku without needing separate passwords or accounts.
With streaming services seemingly constantly raising prices, this is an opportunity to actually try out a service or multiple without blowing up your bank account.
Remember, you only have 5 days to take advantage of Roku’s Streaming Day deals. So act fast if you’re interested.
