Beginning December 7th, Verizon myPlan customers can bundle ad-supported Netflix and Max for just $10 a month. This is in addition to existing myPlan perks, including discounted Walmart+ service and a cheaper Disney Bundle.
The ad-supported versions of Netflix and Max usually cost $6.99 and $9.99 a month, respectively. Bundling with Verizon myPlan shaves $7 off the total monthly fee. It’s a pretty generous offer, assuming that you’re already a Verizon myPlan customer.
Verizon introduced its myPlan system earlier this year. The idea is pretty simple—myPlan is cheaper than the average Unlimited scheme, but it doesn’t include any free perks. Instead, you can select from a selection of perks, which cost an additional $10 each month. The cheapest myPlan package, Unlimited Welcome, starts at $90 a month for customers with four lines.
Along with the new Netflix and Max bundle, Verizon myPlan offers discounted subscriptions for Walmart+, the Disney Bundle, Apple One, Apple Music Family, and more. You can also pay $10 a month for 2 TB of Verizon Cloud storage or 100 GB mobile hotspot service. To reiterate, each of these perks costs $10 a month. If you redeem the Netflix and Max deal with the Disney Bundle, you’ll pay an additional $20 on your monthly phone bill (it ain’t cheap, but it’s an excellent price to pay for five streaming services).
Interestingly, this is the first-ever Netflix and Max bundle. It’s rare to see a streaming bundle from two competing corporations—bundling Disney+ and Hulu makes sense, as they’re both owned by Disney, but Netflix and Max are an odd pair. It’s a clear sign that the streaming market is changing; services are growing far too expensive, so they must be supplemented by ads, bundled into packages, and distributed at a discount through cellular and internet companies. Yeah, cable television reincarnate.
Verizon will begin offering the Netflix and Max bundle on December 7th. It’s exclusive to myPlan subscribers and costs $10 a month. Eligible customers can select their myPlan perks from the Verizon website. Obviously, upgrading to an Unlimited scheme just for the perks is a bad idea, but those who are already subscribed to an expensive data scheme should see what Verizon has to offer.
