How to Claim Your Year of Free Discovery + Through Verizon

Verizon customers can enjoy the all-new Discovery + streaming service for free for up to 12 months. Here’s how to get it.

The new streaming service, which features content from HGTV, History Channel, TLC, Discovery Channel, Food Netflix, A&E, and BBC natural history programs like Earth and Blue planet– officially launches today with over 50 originals and tens of thousands of episodes of on-demand content from across the Discovery portfolio. Normally, the service will cost $ 5 per month for its ad-supported level or $ 7 per month to be ad-free. But Verizon customers can claim up to a year service for free with certain unlimited plans or with a new Fios or 5G home Internet plan.

First, head to the Discovery + landing page sure Verizon website. Scroll down footer, where you’ll see a section called “Four Easy Ways to Find Out More”. If you already have an unlimited plan, select the option furthest to the right. (If you plan to upgrade or subscribe through an Internet plan, you will also be able to claim your offer from this menu.) Once logged into your account, selecting this option should take you to your add-ons menu, where you will see various promotional offers and service packages like Disney + and Apple Music. Scroll down until you see Discovery +, then click the Get it now button.

You will need to agree to the terms and conditions on the next page before the service is added to your account. Again, the promotion covers the ad-free version of the service (a bonus!), But that does mean you’ll get hooked for $ 7 a month after your trial expires. If you don’t want to continue paying after your trial ends, I recommend setting a reminder to cancel your subscription.

Even if you are not a Verizon customer, you will still be able to get a free trial. Discovery + offers one week of its service for free, after which you will be billed based on your selection during registration (either $ 5 with ads or $ 7 without). And I would absolutely recommend taking advantage of this offer if for no other reason than exclusive access to A perfect planet, the new David Attenborough project.

The service is available from today on Fire TV devices (with a Prime Video channel on the way), Roku, Samsung smart TVs, Xbox One and next-gen devices, Android devices, Apple devices and Chromecast with Google TV. Keep an eye out for our full service review in the days to come.
