The perception that college students exist solely on ramen diets has lasted so many years because it's true. College kids are not rolling in cash, and now major companies are coming up with a way to help. Spotify and Hulu have teamed up to take it easy on students' bank accounts. Read on to find out how to get Hulu for free in college.
Every college student needs a little downtime. With attending classes, participating in different clubs, and figuring out what to do with the rest of your life (no biggie, right?), you need some time to decompress. Well, according to The Verge, you can now get two awesome services for the price of one. When you purchase a Spotify Premium plan for students, which costs $4.99, you can now get Hulu On-Demand for free. That's right, these companies bundled their services together for students -- all for just under five bucks (and only in the U.S.).
OK, so the Hulu On-Demand streaming is the one with the ads, but c'mon, you're getting it for free. You can use the ad time to finally text your mom back from two days ago. Plus, it's super easy to combine the two if you've already purchased one. For example, if you've already purchased Spotify Premium for Students, you can just activate the Hulu side. If you're already bingeing on no-frills Hulu, you just merge it with your education Spotify account.
If You Have Spotify Do You Get Hulu Free Download
Hulu and Spotify announced today that they’ve partnered to enhance the Spotify Premium for Students streaming plan, by adding Hulu access for the very same $4.99-per-month rate that Spotify had. New Spotify Premium users can sign up for a free 30-day trial that includes Hulu. After creating or linking a Hulu account, Spotify users can go to Hulu to watch TV and movies via supported devices or Hulu.com. A spokesperson for Spotify said, 'The bundle is available in perpetuity to those who opt-in before June 10.' If you subscribe to Spotify Premium, you can now get Hulu for free. Juggling streaming services to meet all of your multimedia needs adds up—and usually saddles you with a costly bill each month.
What gives for this partnership? Well, Spotify has been trying to create original video content to accompany its music catalog, but it hasn't had great success yet. While they figure out the video side of their services, Spotify decided to partner up with Hulu, an extremely popular video streaming service, in an effort to broaden their customer base.
Is this awesome college deal bumming you out because you're already a proud alum your alma mater? Don't fret: There is a very good chance that this kind of deal will soon expand to all consumers, in some form. The two companies explained that coming together for the college deal is just a 'first step' and there will be “offerings targeted at the broader market to follow.”
So, college kids, take advantage of this killer deal (and treat yourself to a non-ramen dinner), and everyone else will sport their gracious loser faces until they can join you.
Spotify and Hulu are teaming up to bring you the power of music and television all for one very wallet-friendly price. The subscription-based entertainment companies are partnering up for an all-inclusive offer that includes Spotify Premium and all the Hulu shows you know and love for less than $10 a month. Chances are high you probably have a subscription to at least one of these services, but now you can add Hulu to your Spotify account for free. If you're a current subscriber, you might be wondering how to get a free Hulu subscription through Spotify Premium. Here's how you can catch up on shows and listen to the music you love all for one sweet price.
On Tuesday, March 12, Spotify announced a new partnership with Hulu. The music streaming service will immediately begin offering Hulu's ad-supported subscription to Spotify Premium plans at no additional cost. A Spotify Premium subscription normally costs $9.99 per month. That cost will remain the same, even with the addition of Hulu's ad-supported subscription. Seriously, there aren't any strings attached here and there's no funny business going on. It's that good of a deal. Anyone (new or existing customers) can sign up for this deal until it expires on Monday, June 10, according to Spotify. However, there are only a limited number of subscriptions available, per Spotify. It's possible that this deal may lapse prior to June 10, so the sooner you sign up the better. Here's what you need to do.
For users who already have a Spotify Premium account, visit the Your Services page on the Spotify website. This is where you can manage your account. You can opt-in for the Hulu offer directly in your account settings. It takes all of a few seconds to complete the process. Boom, you're done. See how easy that was?
If you're new to Spotify, you'll need to start by signing up for a new account. To claim this combo deal, head over to the Hulu section of the Spotify website. You'll need to fill in a few personal details like your first and last name, email address, and you'll need a credit card or debit card to link to your account. The sign-up process doesn't take long, either. You'll be done in five minutes and on your way to accessing all sorts of amazing content for just $9.99 per month. In addition to offering Hulu for free, Spotify is offering all new Premium account subscribers 30 free days of music and TV.
How To Link Spotify To Hulu
Finally, if you have a Hulu ad-supported plan but currently do not have a Spotify account, you can still partake in this deal. Just log into your existing Hulu account and change the billing settings to Spotify, according to the music subscription company. Once you do this, you should be good to go. If you don't switch your billing preferences over, you will be charged for both Spotify and Hulu. So, just double check to make sure you've eliminated that possibility. By signing up for the new Spotify Hulu deal, you will be able to catch up on shows like This Is Us, The Handmaid's Tale, and so many other great shows and movies.
If You Have Spotify Premium Do You Get Hulu For Free
You may remember back in January when Hulu decided to drop the price of its ad-supported subscription service from $7.99 to $5.99. That was awesome news for Hulu subscribers like myself. But, the addition of Hulu to Spotify Premium accounts is an entirely different level of awesome. Spotify Premium costs $9.99 on its own. If you're already paying for that, plus a Hulu subscription, go ahead and combine the two services into one payment. You'll save yourself $5, or you can treat yourself to an extra cup of coffee. It's a win-win for everyone.
