Chase is currently offering select customers a free year of Apple TV, a $156 streaming value. What’s more, this promotion isn’t limited to just new Apple TV subscribers, as existing subscribers can save on the cost of a full year as well.
What You Need to Know
- Eligible Chase Sapphire Preferred and Reserve cardholders can now redeem a free year of Apple TV.
- The offer applies to new and existing Apple TV subscribers.
- After the free year, the Apple TV subscription will auto‑renew at the normal rate.
Apple has routinely increased the cost of its Apple TV subscription over the past few years. With the price currently sitting at $12.99/mo, subscribers end up paying a total of $155.88 over the course of a full year.
Subscribers can save a little money each year by paying annually. Considering an annual subscription is priced at $99, annual subscribers save around $60 a year.
If you happen to have a Chase Sapphire card then you can actually get a full year of Apple TV at no cost.
How to Claim a Free Year of Apple TV
The free year of Apple TV is available to eligible Chase Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve cardmembers and doesn’t require any additional purchases.
Instead, it can simply be activated as an account perk in the Chase Mobile app or through the Chase website after signing in and navigating to the Benefits & Rewards section.
As part of the activation process, Chase customers will need to connect their Apple account (Apple ID).
Eligible Chase customers have up until December 31, 2026, to redeem the benefit and activate their free year of Apple TV.
In addition to a free year of Apple TV, those with a Sapphire Reserve card may also be eligible for a complimentary Apple Music subscription as well, further increasing the savings on offer.
A Free Year for Existing Apple TV Subscribers Too
What’s additionally interesting about this promotion is that it is also available to existing Apple TV subscribers as well.
Normally locked out of deals like this, existing Apple TV subscribers with an eligible Chase Sapphire Preferred or Sapphire Reserve card can just as easily redeem a free year of Apple TV, delaying the next time they need to make a payment by a full 12 months.
Once they have enabled the free perk through the Chase Mobile app or website, payment for their existing Apple TV subscription will automatically pause during the free year, saving $156 in the process.
Due to how easy the activation process is, existing subscribers don’t need to make any changes to their subscription or sign up with any other email addresses.
Subscriptions Auto-Renew Unless Canceled
Regardless of whether a new or existing Apple TV subscriber, the subscription will automatically renew at the usual rate following the free year.
Subscribers can avoid paying the normal monthly/annual rate by ensuring they cancel the subscription prior to the final free month.
If completely new to Apple TV, the free perk unlocks access to a growing library of Apple Originals for an entire year.
For example, popular titles available to stream with an Apple TV subscription include For All Mankind, Severance, Silo, Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Widow’s Bay.
