Get Full year of Peacock Premium for $19.99
Yesterday we wrote about a great promotion from Hulu for just $0.99 per month. But, if your favorite shows are on Peacock Premium, then we have a sweet deal for you as well.
Peacock has launched a Black Friday promotion offering a 60% discount. You can get pay just $1.99 per month for 12 months or $19.99 for a full year. Normal Peacock prices are $5.99 per month or $59.99 for a whole year.
In order to participate in this promotion, you need to be a new or returning customer and must use promo code BIGDEAL for the monthly offer or YEARLONG for annual offer. These promo codes are valid November 22, 2023 through November 27, 2023. To get started, sign up at www.peacocktv.com/blackfriday and use the code at the time of enrollment.
If you don’t want to pay full price for Peacock Premium, then you need to make sure you cancel before the end of your promotional period. if you don’t, you will then be charged for your Peacock Premium subscription at the then-current retail rate (plus tax), which will auto-renew on a monthly basis. To cancel your subscription go to peacocktv.com/cancellation.

Peacock Premium has commercials.

You have to pay $6 more each month for Peacock Premium Plus if you want no commercials. And even then, per the fine print on the sign up page for Peacock Premium Plus: “*Due to streaming rights, a small amount of programming will still contain ads (Peacock channels, events and a few shows and movies).”
$19.99 might seem like a good deal at first, but if you watch a lot, you will be losing a lot of your time to commercials. If you upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus with no commercials for a year, you will pay $19.99 + (12 * $6) = $91.99. That is $27 less than the annual subscription to Peacock Premium Plus [$119.99] and worth it if you watch regularly every month for a year.
Otherwise, if you just want to binge watch a few shows for a few months, you can save money [and time wasted by commercials] by joining at $5.99/month and upgrading to Peacock Premium Plus for $6 [i.e., pay $11.99/month] and then cancel when you are ready.
If Peacock really wanted people to subscribe, they would offer a discounted price on Peacock Premium Plus for a year. As is, unless you upgrade to Plus and watch regularly every month and save the $27 as described above, this feels like a teaser ad that will lock in people to something they will get frustrated with rather quickly. And, of course, all subscription services benefit from people forgetting to cancel after a year and being forced to pay full price for the automatic renewal.
As always, caveat emptor. [And if you accept this offer, put a note on your calendar to cancel before the auto-renewal!]
Thank you! This is so helpful. I was about to sign up, then read your note that it has ads. Forget that. And don’t want to pay more for the Plus version without ads, so this is a no go for me. You just saved me a bundle. THANK YOU.
Nobody wants to pay for commercials
shame there is f-all to watch on it.
