How a Hulu discount code works

You should know that Hulu coupon codes are often redeemed through specific redemption pages/links tied to the promotion, not always a single promo field. If you’re having trouble redeeming a promo code for Hulu, make sure that you’re using the correct link associated with the redemption process. Oftentimes, specific codes or credits may have a designated URL or address (i.e. hulu.com/start/bing) you need to use.

The most common “paths” users encounter to save at checkout are Hulu specials or credit codes via a designated URL, gift cards, student or military discounts, or annual billing.

How to redeem a Hulu coupon code or credit

Here you can find the simple steps you need to follow to redeem your credit code or promotional code for Hulu:

• Start from the correct Hulu special offer link (some codes require a dedicated URL).
• Log into your account or create a new one if you are a new subscriber.
• Enter the Hulu gift or promotional code exactly as provided.
• Confirm the offer is reflected before completing your signup or payment.

When you enter the discount code for Hulu, we suggest you copy and paste the code in order to avoid any extra spaces or spelling errors. If it fails, you should verify if you're eligible for the discount and if the link or the plan are correct, otherwise you can contact customer support.

Redeem Hulu gift cards

You can purchase Hulu gift cards both in-store and online. Both new and existing subscribers can redeem gift cards by visiting the “Redeem a Gift Card” page and entering the Hulu gift code.

If you are a new subscriber, you should know that your account will be automatically deleted after the entire amount on the gift card runs out, unless you add another payment option. If you want to keep the access to Hulu after the amount of your gift card is used, all you have to do is add an alternative payment option so that Hulu won't cancel your account.

On the other hand, if you are an existing subscriber, you can redeem your Hulu gift card directly on your Account page. To do that, just log in, find the section related to payments, and enter the Hulu code you can find on the back of your gift card. It's a 12-digit code: when you enter it be sure you're not missing any character.

Unfortunately, if you are an existing subscriber and you pay your Hulu plan through a third-party, you might not have the option to apply any gift cards to your account. In addition, you should know that Hulu gift cards have some exclusions: you can't apply them on certain Premium Network Add-ons. You must add a credit or debit card to your payment options.

Finally, when you’re redeeming your gift card make sure the promotion code for Hulu is typed exactly and you’re logged into the correct account.

Hulu coupons for students and military

Unlock a special price on Hulu (With Ads) with the official Student Discount. If you are a graduate or advanced degree student at a U.S. Title IV accredited school, you can verify your enrollment through SheerID to save. This Hulu offer is available to new users and existing subscribers who pay Hulu directly (rather than through a third party).

You can even save on Hulu (With Ads) also through an exclusive military discount offered via The Exchange. This Hulu deal is available to U.S. service members, veterans, and their dependents with a valid Exchange membership. To qualify, you must be a new or existing subscriber billed directly by Hulu. Keep in mind that this special rate is standalone and cannot be paired with other promo codes for Hulu.

Once you get verified, you can change your plan at any time. However, the student and military Hulu promos can only be applied to the Hulu (With Ads) plan. If you’d like to change to a different plan like Hulu Premium, a bundle, or a Live TV plan, the discounted price will not apply. But do not worry, you can change back to the Student/Military Hulu special deals on the Hulu (With Ads) plan as long as you are still eligible. You can also customize your plan with add-ons for an additional monthly charge.

Free trials: who gets these Hulu promotions 

Hulu offers free trials to new and eligible returning subscribers. During your Hulu free subscription period, you’ll get the full Hulu experience of your choosing, just like any other paid subscriber would. Watch at home or on-the-go using a variety of supported devices just like any other paid subscriber would. 

To get started, you’ll need to sign up first, so it will be easier if you want to subscribe after your trial. Discover Hulu for free with a trial available to new and eligible returning subscribers (who haven't been active in the last 12 months). You can test the Hulu (With Ads) or the Hulu + Live TV, Disney+, and ESPN Select plans at no cost. Please note that the Hulu Premium plan, bundles, and certain add-ons are excluded from this offer. 

The duration of the trial varies by plan, but you can always track your expiration date via your Account page. To avoid being charged the recurring subscription fee, simply cancel before the trial period concludes.

Annual billing: when it’s available and who can switch

Maximize your savings by switching to Hulu's annual billing instead of monthly payments. This option is available specifically for the Hulu (With Ads) plan and is open to new subscribers as well as current members not billed by a third party. 

To start saving, simply visit your Account page to make the change. Your Hulu yearly subscription will automatically renew every twelve months from your first billing date, ensuring uninterrupted streaming throughout the year.

Hulu deals to maximize value

At Hulu you can choose among different plans and options, but we want you to pick the cheapest Hulu plan that matches with your needs and wishes. You can choose between Hulu (With Ads) and Hulu Premium (No Ads).

The Hulu (With Ads) plan is the cheapest, but Hulu Premium (No Ads) gives you the opportunity to download your favorite movies or TV series, to watch it offline and save your data, and you can also watch Live TV. 

For both Hulu subscription offers you can choose to add some add-ons anytime you want. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan by following these steps: 

• Access Your Account
• Scroll to the "Your Subscription" area to see your current settings.
• Update your plan by clicking on "MANAGE PLAN": your active subscription will be marked in green. To change it, simply switch the toggle from "OFF" to "ON" for the new plan you prefer.
• Adjust Your Add-ons by choosing "MANAGE ADD-ONS." You will see a checkmark (✓) for services you already have. To include new ones, click the plus sign (+); to cancel an existing add-on, change the checkmark (✓) to an (x).
• Finalize by selecting "Review Changes" to save and confirm your new configuration.

If you don’t see “Manage Plan” options on your Hulu account page, it means you are billing your subscription through a third-party. In that case, you can manage your subscription through that billing partner.

Billing & payment: third-party subscriptions, viewing charges, updating payment

If you are billed directly by Hulu, you can update your payment details via your Account page. Be aware that the process may differ for subscribers whose billing is managed through a third-party service. For Hulu-billed subscriptions, you can make any payment changes through your account. Just select “Update Payment” next to “Payment Method” and modify your payment details. If you’re billed by one of the Hulu third parties, the steps to update your payment information may vary depending on which party you chose.

If you need to view your charges, and your subscription is billed directly by Hulu, you can review information about past and upcoming charges directly on your Hulu Account page. If you pay for Hulu through a third-party, you need to refer to your third party for more information about past and upcoming charges.

Cost control after the Hulu promotional code

You must know that Hulu subscriptions are restricted to a single U.S. household; as a result, you must provide a U.S.-based payment method during signup and cannot stream content while outside the United States. If you know you won’t be using your Hulu account for a little while, for example during a summer vacation or a business trip out of the US, you can temporarily pause your subscription. You can pause your Hulu subscription directly from your account, with the change taking effect at the start of your next billing period. Once the selected pause duration ends, your subscription will automatically reactivate, and your saved payment method will be charged on a recurring monthly basis. 

And if you need to cancel your subscription, as a Hulu-billed subscriber, you can cancel at any time and easily renew a subscription if you choose to come back in the future. No charges will be applied if you decide to fully cancel your subscription while it is still in a paused state.

In addition, users can manage and/or remove activated devices from their account, and that’s useful for household control.

Common redemption issues with Hulu promo codes

If you have troubles redeeming your Hulu promotional codes, do not worry! Here is a little list of things you can check to avoid any kind of issue:

• Wrong redemption flow: a Hulu Live TV promo code requires a designated URL and specific path, so be sure that everything is correct.
• Eligibility mismatch: remember the new vs returning vs existing subscriber rules; check student/military restrictions and/or plan restrictions.
• Plan incompatibility: student and military discount applies to Hulu (With Ads) only; switching plans can remove your discount.
• Third-party billing can block plan switching inside Hulu (no “Manage Plan” button).
