There are a few catches. The first one is that subscribers must commit to a full year and pay in advance. Additonal taxes will be tacked on to the price.
When the yearlong subscription expires, it will revert to the prices before June 18, 2026. Subscribers will have the option at that time to continue or cancel the subscription.
According to the HBO Max web page, the offer is available through the website for new and returning customers with expired or canceled subscriptions. The offer is not available to consumers with active subscriptions.
The offer is also limited to subscribers in the United States.
