How to Double (Almost) Any Free Trial for a Streaming Service
Most streaming services love handing out free trials. You’ll usually get 7 days to try a streamer. If you like it, you can stick around. If you don’t like it, just cancel the service before your credit card is charged and there’s no harm done. But there’s a sneaky way you can extend those free trials: after you do the free trial through the streamer directly, enjoy a second free trial through Prime Video.
Prime Video is a video streaming service from Amazon. It’s free if you already subscribe to Amazon Prime. Even if you don’t have Prime, you can try it for free for 30 days and enjoy Prime Video at no cost.
$8.99/mo.
Prime Video users have the ability to add “channels” – essentially allowing you to watch other streaming services within the Prime Video interface. Nearly every standalone streaming service offers a Prime Video channel except Netflix, Peacock, Hulu, and Disney+.

3 Streamers Where You Can Hack Your Way to 4 Free Weeks
There are three special streamers where you can quadruple the normal free trial length! Here’s how.
- Sign up for AMC+ through Prime Video. Enjoy 7 days of AMC+ and its bundled streamers: IFC Films Unlimited, Sundance Now, and Shudder.
- When that trial expires, sign up for individual trials of IFC Films Unlimited, Sundance Now, and Shudder through Prime Video.
- When that trial expires, sign up for 7 free days through AMC+ directly. Again, all three of those streamers are included.
- When that trial expires, sign up for IFC Films Unlimited, Sundance Now, and Shudder trials directly.
I didn’t run into any restrictions, even when using the same email address to sign up. Enjoy the loophole!
