What’s happened? YouTube TV is reportedly offering subscribers a $10 monthly credit for six months to make up for the removal of all Disney channels from its catalog.
- User reports on Reddit indicate that the credit is not applied automatically and appears to be available only to select subscribers.
- Subscribers have to log into their YouTube TV account in a browser, head to settings, and navigate to the “Manage Base Plan” section to redeem the credit.
- YouTube TV had previously announced a $20 credit for affected subscribers and said details would be shared via email “in the coming days.” However, many users report they have yet to receive any communication from the platform.
- It’s not immediately clear whether this $10 credit is part of the $20 initially promised or an additional compensation for some users.
Why is this important? While it may be temporary, the removal of all Disney content from YouTube TV makes its subscription less valuable for many users.
- By offering a $10 monthly credit, the platform is trying to retain subscribers who might otherwise consider canceling.
- However, as per screenshots shared by users, this offer will expire after six months, and the subscription will revert to the original amount. If YouTube TV fails to reach an agreement with Disney by then, it risks losing a portion of its subscriber base.
Why should I care? If you’re a YouTube TV subscriber bummed by the loss of Disney’s lineup of over 20 channels, you might want to hold off on canceling your subscription.
- Check your YouTube TV account for this offer and keep an eye on your inbox for updates about the $20 credit.
- If you haven’t received any credits and your renewal date is coming up, this could be a good time to consider whether YouTube TV is still worth the price or if Disney Plus is a better deal.
What’s next? YouTube TV has yet to release an official statement about this new $10 credit or clarify when the previously announced $20 credit will roll out. If the offer is not available on your account, it might be worth contacting support to check your eligibility.
