Watch your favorite shows and movies on HBO Max!

I ditched my DirecTV service after many years of being a customer. I had been getting a really great deal for a long time and when it ended and there were no offers for long-time subscribers, I cut the cord and haven’t looked back.

I love my HULU and Netflix, but sometimes a girl just needs a little something extra when you’ve watched every. single. show. in. life. during the pandemic and have run out of things to watch! 😆

That’s where HBO Max saves the day!

Even better, through October 30th, you can score a whopping 40% off a yearly subscription plan when you pre-pay for a full year of service! The discount applies to both the regular and ad-free plans too! No promo code needed.

Plus, this Christmas season, starting November 17th, you’ll be able to access the brand new A Christmas Story Christmas movie, the sequel to the popular A Christmas Story movie, which will be exclusively on HBO Max!

HBO Max offers tons of movies, too!

This plan allows you to watch thousands of hours of series, movies, and exclusive originals in HD, with select movie titles available in 4K UHD.

With the ad-free plan, you’ll also be able to download your favorite titles to watch anytime on the go – this is great for when you’re traveling and need something to watch on the plane.

HIP TIP: AT&T wireless customers may be able to score HBO Max for FREE with select unlimited plans. Be sure to log-in to your AT&T Wireless Account to see if your plan is eligible for the offer.

Considering a single movie ticket runs around $12+, you simply can’t go wrong with HBO Max, even if you only watch 2 movies per month. Enjoy a date night in with a new movie, some popcorn, and maybe a DIY charcuterie board… now that sounds like fun to me! Talk about a relaxing date night in on the cheap!

Hip Tip: Make yummy popcorn at home with our favorite microwave popcorn popper!

What about the kiddos?

Never fear, there’s tons of kids programming here! HBO Max has a whopping 51 seasons of Sesame Street available with episodes dating all the way back to 1969. Did you know that the new episodes of Sesame Street air on HBO Max first before they hit PBS? Yep, it’s true!

Not only that, you’ll find family-friendly favorites like The Flintstones, Looney Tunes, Ben 10, Scooby-Doo, The Smurfs, The Jetsons, and more!

    AT&T is no longer offering free HBO with any plans since they don’t own it anymore. If you currently have HBO, they are letting you keep it for a while, but it will be taken away eventually. And if you make any changes to your plan, they take it away within a day or 2. I learned that the hard way this month.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for the heads up on that, Sara. I currently have HBO Max free with my AT&T Unlimited Cellular plan, and when I spoke with customer service, they said they will continue offering it for wireless and internet customers. Hoping that is the case, because I like the added option for streaming! 🤞💕

  2. Sara

    Well that’s frustrating. They took mine away a month ago when I switched from one unlimited plan to another, and they’re not adding to the new plans yet. I wouldn’t have switched if I had known.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      So sorry! That does sound frustrating. Hoping that if you contact customer service, they might be able to offer you a solution, or that it gets added back on to your plan soon!

      • Cathy

        Same thing happened to me – added a line to our family account which forced us to switch plans and lost HBO Max. I talked to Customer Service trying to get it back and she talked to a few different departments trying to get it back but “the system” wouldn’t allow it even though the people were willing to give it to me. Very frustrating to a very long term customer!

    I know this is way off topic, but where did you find the blue popcorn bowl? I just love it 😀

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi MaryKay! I did check with Collin on this and that bowl was purchased in a set about 5 years ago. It may have been from Target. 🤗

  4. Sourkisses

    I did the yearly plan without ads, comes out to about 9 a month, so there about 75.00 savings. I figure if we watch 2 movies a month it’s paid for it’s self…..

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Yes! Great deal for sure! Thanks for sharing the breakdown with us! 🙌🎉 Enjoy!

  5. bmv1974

    Is it good for current subscribers for renewal?

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      YES! I just spotted this in the details – “New and returning HBO Max customers can save over 40%”! 🙌💖
