How to redeem an HBO Max promo code

Important

Promo codes for prepaid promotions and free trials that last longer than 7 days can't be redeemed on an existing account.
If you've previously redeemed a promotional offer or free trial, you may not be eligible for additional promotional offers.

To redeem your HBO Max promo code:

Go to HBOMax.com/redeem on your phone or computer.
Enter your promo code and then press Enter. If you have trouble redeeming the code, see Can't redeem promo code.
You'll see your promo info, including the plan, price, and promotional period.
Note If you make changes to your plan, you'll lose the benefit of your promotional code.
Choose Get the promo.
Do one of the following:
- New subscriber: Fill out the account form and choose Create Account.
  Email already in use? This means there's already an HBO Max or HBO GO account with the email address you entered. Choose the Sign in link and sign in to your account. Some promo codes can't be redeemed on an existing account.
- Returning subscriber: Choose Sign In in the upper-right corner and sign in to your account.
  Note Promo codes for prepaid promotions and free trials that last longer than 7 days can't be redeemed on an existing account.
Add your payment information. After your promotional period, your card will be automatically charged by WarnerMedia for the plan you signed up for (Step 3). Thereafter, your subscription will auto-renew each billing cycle until you cancel.
Choose the Start button.
Choose Start watching and you're ready to stream!

Now you can sign in and stream on your favorite devices (sign in using your account email and password from Step 5).
