Hack: Get 15-20% off Netflix, Disney+ & Apple TV+

How to save 15-20% off streaming services

Do you want to know how to get 15-20% off streaming services like Netflix, Disney + and Apple TV+? Well, it does require a few steps to get there, but hey every dollar counts!

There are some pre-requisites for this example, you will need:

  • An Apple device (anything you can access iTunes from, so iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, etc.)
  • An iTunes Account

Next you will need to sign up for the streaming service via your device.

When registering billing method be sure to select iTunes as the payment method.

Finally, you will need to keep an eye out for sales on iTunes cards. Pick a few up each time they are on sale (they are quite regularly listed at 15-20% off through places like Coles, Woolworths, Target, BigW, and Officeworks. Costco also has them consistently discounted at around 13% off the $50 card, sometimes more.

iTunes also offer direct discounts on occasion, where you might get a bonus amount in addition to the amount you pre-load. Recently

To find out sales near you I find it easiest to Google “iTunes on Sale” and check out sites like OzBargain or Lasoo for the latest details.

Note: this post is written for an Australian audience, if you are outside Australia check to see what is on offer locally.

Do you have any other little money saving hacks to share?
