HBO Max Free Trial is Back! This is Not a Drill!

Update: HBO Max no longer offers a free trial.

See all current deals.

If you’ve been waiting to binge HBO Max for free, thank your lucky stars. A 7-day free trial is back! There’s one small catch: to activate the free trial, you need to sign up through Prime Video. (But free is free.)

The free trial applies to both HBO Max Basic with Ads and HBO Max Standard (no ads).

We don’t know how long the free trial will be available, so I recommend jumping on it quickly. It’s a rare thing. If you cancel before your trial is up, you won’t be charged.
