Rotate Streaming Services" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="1. Rotate Streaming Services" id="1-rotate-which-streaming-service-you-use">1. Rotate Which Streaming Service You Use</h3><p>Depending on your reason for signing up for a particular streaming subscription, you can save money by rotating which ones you pay for. By keeping with the monthly plan, you’re not locked into a lengthy contract, meaning you can cancel whenever you want (and rejoin whenever you want to). </p><p>Many people sign up for a streaming platform to watch a specific show. For instance, one report found that 26.25% of its respondents signed up for Disney+ specifically to watch <em>The Mandalorian</em>, and 25.57% signed up for Netflix to <a href="https://www.commquer.com/how-to-watch-stranger-things/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">watch the new season of <em>Stranger Things</em></a>.<sup><a href="#Sources">1</a></sup></p><p>There’s nothing wrong with doing this, but what can often happen is that you don’t unsubscribe when you’ve finished watching the show. Done again and again, you can quickly accrue a pretty hefty monthly bill.</p><p><strong>The best method is to work out a schedule</strong>. Decide when your favorite shows will be back with new episodes and plan which streaming service you need to subscribe to each month. </p><p>You can also <strong>use streaming apps</strong> like <a href="https://reelgood.com/?fromAMP=true" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ReelGood</a> or <a href="https://www.justwatch.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">JustWatch</a> to work out where you can watch shows for the cheapest price. For instance, a show might be on a paid service in the U.S., but free on <a href="https://www.commquer.com/watch-bbc-iplayer-usa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BBC iPlayer</a> or ITV Hub in the U.K.</p><figure itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="figure text-center full full" data-id="68462"><picture><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/reelgood-streaming-app.webp" type="image/webp" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/reelgood-streaming-app.png" media="(min-width: 1400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/reelgood-streaming-app-800x480.png" media="(min-width: 400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/reelgood-streaming-app-680x408.png" media="(min-width: 200px)" /><img decoding="async" width="800" height="480" loading="lazy" class="landscape" src="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/reelgood-streaming-app-800x480.png" alt="reelgood streaming app" title="reelgood-streaming-app"><figcaption itemprop="caption"><div class="caption">Streaming apps like ReelGood allow you to plan your streaming binges and find the cheapest way to watch your favorite shows.</div></figcaption></figure><p>A Parks Associate report found that 36% of U.S. subscribers already “<strong>service hop</strong>.” If you finish the show early, you can catch up with some other shows before moving on. <strong>Hopping helps you avoid paying for a service you aren’t using at the time</strong>. Just be sure to cancel before the next billing cycle.<sup><a href="#Sources">2</a></sup></p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" class="wp-block-heading" id="2-grab-a-bundled-deal">2. Grab a Bundled Deal</h3><p>Most streaming services don’t offer a deal directly, but you can often <strong>find one bundled with a cell phone contract</strong>. For instance, at the time of writing, you can get an ongoing Netflix subscription, six months of Apple TV+ and one year of Paramount+ with <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/brand/benefits?icid=MGPO_TMO_U_TMOBDVLEST_QBRKTLMA944IEZ2UM30419" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">selected T-Mobile plans</a>.</p><figure itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="figure text-center full full" data-id="68463"><picture><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tmobile-streaming-offers.webp" type="image/webp" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tmobile-streaming-offers.png" media="(min-width: 1400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tmobile-streaming-offers-800x355.png" media="(min-width: 400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tmobile-streaming-offers-680x302.png" media="(min-width: 200px)" /><img decoding="async" width="800" height="355" loading="lazy" class="landscape" src="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tmobile-streaming-offers-800x355.png" alt="tmobile streaming offers" title="tmobile-streaming-offers"><figcaption itemprop="caption"><div class="caption">Certain phone networks have offers that can help you save on streaming with your cell phone bill. </div></figcaption></figure><p>There are likely plenty of other great deals out there too.

That said, your first year is free, and the card offers cashback on other purchases in travel, gas and supermarket categories as well. </p><p>It’s worth signing up even if you only use the card for the first year (while the annual fee is waived), but if you have enough eligible purchases, you could easily earn enough cashback to cover the annual fee and more.

(People subscribe for a month and cancel once they finish watching the show(s) they are interested in.)</span></i></p><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the new competition ground for streaming services.

This is particularly useful if the cost structure of both services is fixed.”</span></i></p></div></li></ul><h3 class="wp-block-heading" class="wp-block-heading" id="shifting-subscriber-dynamics">Shifting Subscriber Dynamics</h3><h4 class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="hidden" id="kimberly-owczarski-associate-professor-film-television-and-digital-media-at-schieffer-college">Kimberly Owczarski, <em>Associate Professor, Film, Television and Digital Media at Schieffer College</em></h4><ul class="cws-faq cws-maxMedium"><li><button class="cws-faq-question" data-toggle="toggle" data-target=".faq-given-the-number-of-available-services-and-their-increasing-costs-for-subscribers-we-will-likely-start-to-see-more-consumers-unsubscribing-from-these-services" aria-expanded="true">“Given the number of available services and their increasing costs for subscribers, we will likely start to see more consumers unsubscribing from these services…</button><div class="collapse faq-given-the-number-of-available-services-and-their-increasing-costs-for-subscribers-we-will-likely-start-to-see-more-consumers-unsubscribing-from-these-services cws-faq-answer" aria-hidden="false"><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">In return, these services will have to offer more promos to draw back these consumers and new ones, and offer more original, one-of-a-kind programming to keep them there. We are unlikely to see content budgets for streamers go down any time soon, especially as more of them wade into live sports programming which is notoriously expensive.</span></i></p><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many families have subscribed to services like Netflix to avoid ads during children’s programming. It’s unlikely that they will switch to ad-based tiers despite their cheaper cost. For those without children, these consumers have grown accustomed to watching their programs and movies without interruption. </span></i></p><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s likely they will remain in the ad-free tiers with their preferred service(s) as well, though we may see an increase in consumers experimenting with new streaming services through these cheaper, ad-supported tiers. The lower cost may be enough to justify a short-term commitment for a show or film they want to access.</span></i></p><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">We will continue to see bundling within the big media conglomerates, but we are unlikely to see bundles across these companies any time soon. Building a branded online ecosystem takes time and a large financial investment and these companies will not abandon their streaming services easily.</span></i></p><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The big media companies have an advantage over their cable and satellite competitors in that they can push their streaming services into new international markets to continue adding subscribers. </span></i></p><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cable and satellite companies cannot compete with the potential market size of streaming services since they are locally, regionally, and/or nationally based. It will become more and more difficult to compete with streaming, especially with the high costs of those subscriptions.”</span></i></p></div></li></ul></section><section><h2 class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="Final Thoughts" class="wp-block-heading" data-nav="Final Thoughts" id="final-thoughts-ways-to-save-money-with-streaming">Final Thoughts: Ways to Save Money With Streaming</h2><p>We hope this guide has helped you understand how you can save money on streaming services.
