People are noticing instant hacks to cut bills on Netflix, Disney+, and your favorite streaming apps right now

There are so many streaming services out there these days, and subscribing to all of them doesn’t come cheap.

Even if you opt for the cheapest available monthly options from the big three – Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime – it’ll cost you more than £260 a year.

But there are some ways to reduce your bill.

Here’s how.

Rotate your streaming services

The good thing about a monthly rolling subscription is that you can cancel every 30 days.

Use this to your advantage and subscribe to one streaming service at a time rather than all at once.

Maybe you’re planning it around the release of your favorite show?

Then watch everything you want to watch before the month is up and switch to another streaming service next month.

Switching between Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime every month would cost you just over £87 instead of £263 for a year.

plan ahead

A bit of admin can go a long way in making the rotation idea work.

Set calendar reminders about when you should cancel and when your month is up.

Some places like Netflix will let you cancel at any time and will tell you when the 30 days end.

To help you figure out when it’s best to renew, there are handy apps like JustWatch and ReelGood, which can tell you where your favorites appear – and send you notifications when new episodes are available.

Watch out for offers

Some streaming providers routinely offer deals, which also help keep costs down.

For example, your Tesco Clubcard points give you access to Disney+ for three months.

Occasionally this was doubled to six months.

So it’s a good idea to keep an eye out for deals.
