Holy Wow: bill increase

[u/blowingtumbleweed]

I just got the notification from Apple that my price for DisneyPlus annual is moving from $79.99 to $189.99, a full $110 jump. That's crazy! Was I stuck in some time vortex and underpaying for a year or what in the heck happened?

Just as a heads up, check your other subscriptions for streaming benefits.

I get Disney+ free with my $99/yr Kroger Boost membership (which I don’t auto-renew and only sub to when they run their special price of $49/yr. They do this 2-3 times per year). With Ads. I get Netflix free from t-mobile (with ads, single device but I could upgrade that for a small fee), and Peacock free thru Walmart+ (with ads - can opt for Paramount+ if you prefer. Same deal with waiting for the special price to subscribe- although my AmEx had a 50% cash back deal on this one recently). Also AppleTV for $3/mo thru t-mobile as well. We don’t pay individually for any streaming services anymore. Also, lots of credit cards offer discounts on streaming services so check your offers thru them as well.

This is a really good suggestion for people that use already kroger boost, walmart+ etc (or thinking about it) to save money on a subscription.
