Starting March 12, Verizon says customers can get a free year of Netflix Premium for a limited time when they sign up for a one-year subscription to select Plus Play partner platforms. However, those who took advantage of last year’s similar Netflix promotion are not eligible for this deal.
For those unfamiliar, Verizon Plus Play is a hub for Verizon customers that centralizes subscriptions to content services ranging from entertainment to fitness. The pitch is that it makes it easy for customers to manage subscriptions across multiple devices through their Verizon account while also letting them know about exclusive offers. But it also gives Verizon useful information about its customers, a revenue cutand another reason why customers shouldn’t switch their wireless service to another provider.
Netflix Premium includes ad-free access to Ultra HD content and allows users to watch on four devices at once, making it ideal for families. It normally costs $19.99 per month, so this offer adds up to $240 in annual savings (minus the additional subscription you purchase).
Partners included in the Netflix deal include AMC Plus, Calm, the Peloton app, Starz, and Super Duolingo. You can also sign up with some of Verizon’s newer partners, like Paramount Plus and MasterClass.
Verizon also announced eight other new partners, though it’s unclear if they’ll be included in the offer. They include streaming services like Hallmark TV, Marquee TV, FlixLatino, KOCOWA Plus, UP Faith and Family, Quello Concerts by Stingray, and Wondrium. Meal delivery service Blue Apron is also a new partner and announced that it would provide exclusive offers to Plus Play customers.
The center was launched to a select group of clients last year with plans to expand access in the future. Platforms offered through Plus Play include HBO Max, NFL, Netflix, Peloton, Disney Plus, and NBA League Pass Premium.
