Sprint announced a few days ago a partnership with Hulu to give all Sprint Unlimited users free Hulu Limited Commercials subscription. The deal went live today, November 17, 2017.
A regular Hulu with Commercials plan is $7.99/month, a nice savings for Sprint customers. Tmobile has a similar offering of free Netflix for Unlimited customers, and AT&T offers free HBO for unlimited customers. Your move Verizon.
Signup for this offer ends December 8, 2017, do this now if you’re eligible. Tmobile/ATT offer Netflix/HBO as a continuous part of the plan, it’s surprising Sprint is making this a temporary enrollment deal. Most likely they’re doing it as a test with the hopes of rolling this out as a permanent benefit after that date.
The Fine Print
- Reqs qualifying Sprint service plan and registration of Hulu account from Sprint phone while on the Sprint network at hulu.com/sprint
- Includes access to one Hulu Limited Commercials plan per each eligible Sprint account (excludes other Hulu plans and add-ons) while eligible Sprint plan is active and in good standing
- Tablets may stream Hulu content via included Sprint Hot Spot or may subscribe to separate unlimited data plan for tablets
- For phones and tablets on a metered plan streaming will pull from monthly allotment
- New or returning Hulu subscribers only. Valid also for existing Hulu-billed Limited Commercials plan subscribers (no third-party billed subscribers or premium add-on subscribers); no prorated credit or refund for current Hulu billing month, and remaining credit balances will be forfeited.
- Excludes CL accounts
- Not redeemable or refundable for cash or gift subscriptions
- Hulu may place account on inactivity hold based on Hulu usage
- Hulu offer made available by Sprint and may be modified or terminated at any time without notice
- Slickdeals is saying that BYOD plans (including the free-year deal) are excluded.
Overall, this deal seems much more restricted and limited compared to Tmobile and ATT’s offerings. It’ll be intersting to see how it develops.
Oddly, it’s actually profitable to signup for Hulu now on a paid subscription due to Amex and Swagbucks, some might not want to get free Hulu currently.
