Disney+ raises prices: how to get a subscription for free.

According to The Sun: DISNEY+ has raised subscription prices to £24 a year for millions of its users.

However, there are several ways to continue watching your favorite shows on the platform without additional costs – and even get access for free.

Prices for subscriptions from the main competitor Netflix took effect on September 30, and this affected all tiers.

The cheapest ad-supported subscription option increased from £4.99 to £5.99 per month, while the most expensive option – the premium annual subscription – will rise to a staggering £149.90.

This is a big jump compared to £59.99, which the annual premium plan cost at the time of the platform's launch in 2020.

The cost of the standard monthly plan rises from £8.99 to £9.99 per month, while the standard annual plan rises from £89.90 to £99.99.

Users who already have a monthly subscription to Disney+ will begin paying the new prices from November 4.

Those signed up for a year will pay the new prices from Tuesday, November 25.

What other savings options are there?

There are also other ways to save on the streaming service despite the price increases.

For example, you can try signing up through cashback websites to get some of your expenses back.

Topcashback.com offers up to £13.95 cashback if you sign up for Disney+ through their website.

The cashback site Quidco offers up to £10 cashback if you use them for your subscription.

Some cashback credit cards may also have offers on Disney+.

As with many subscription services, you may also receive a discount if you choose to 'cancel' your subscription, which may be the company's attempt to keep your account.

Don't forget that you shouldn't pay for more than one subscription within a single household.

Although sharing account passwords is no longer allowed, standard Disney plans allow streaming on up to two devices within one household.
