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:

  1. Go to HBOMax.com/redeem on your phone or computer.
  2. Enter your promo code and then choose Get the Promo. If you have trouble redeeming the code, see Can't redeem promo code.
  3. You'll see your promo info, including the billing period, price, and promotional period.
    Note If you make changes to your subscription plan, you'll lose the benefit of your promotional code.
  4. 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 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.
  5. Add your payment information. After your promotional period, your subscription will auto-renew on a recurring basis at the then-current subscription rate (plus applicable taxes) until you cancel.
  6. Choose the Start button.
  7. Choose Start watching and you're ready to stream!

Now you can sign in and stream on all your favorite devices (sign in using your account email and password from Step 4).
