WarnerMedia billing Q&A

Which plan do I have and how do I change it?

Here's how to find your plan and change it:

  1. Sign in to Max on your phone, tablet, or computer. Can't sign in?
  2. Choose your profile and then Subscription.
    (Only Adult profiles can manage subscriptions.)
  3. Here you'll find your current plan. Explore Max plans.
  4. Now, to change your plan or billing period:

  5. Choose Change Your Plan.
  6. If prompted, sign in to your Max account.
  7. Choose a subscription plan and billing period.

Once your subscription is updated, you'll get an email confirming the change.

No change plan option?  Take note of who your subscription is billed through (Step 3 above) and go to How do I change plans?

When will my plan change take effect?

The effective date depends on the change:

  • If you change to a lower-priced plan or Monthly billing, your plan change will happen on your next billing date.
  • If you change to a higher-priced plan or Yearly billing, your plan change happens immediately. You'll be charged the price difference between plans (plus applicable taxes) and your next billing date will be adjusted.

Note  If you change from a higher-priced monthly plan to a lower-priced plan with a yearly billing period, your plan change will happen on your next billing date.

Can I cancel a plan change?

If the change isn't effective immediately, you can cancel your pending plan change. To do this, go back to Subscription (Step 2 above) and choose Cancel Pending Plan. You can also sign in at max.com/subscription and choose Cancel Pending Plan.

When is my next billing date?

Your subscription automatically renews on your next billing date. Here's how to find your next billing date:
