What to expect
After cancelling, you keep access until the end of your current billing period. The retention email typically arrives within 2-5 days. The offer is straightforward: $8.49/mo for 6 months for the ad-free Standard plan. After 6 months, it renews at the standard $16.99/mo rate unless you cancel again.
Pro tips
- *Time your cancellation between major show releases. Max is more aggressive with retention offers when there's less buzz.
- *Students get 50% off the Basic with Ads plan ($5.49/mo) through verification. Check if you qualify first.
- *Annual billing saves 16% on all plans. If you plan to keep Max long-term, the annual plan may be a better deal than the 6-month retention offer.
- *Bundle with Disney+ and Hulu for $16.99/mo (ad-supported) -- sometimes cheaper than Max alone.
Troubleshooting
No email after a week? Check spam/promotions. Try re-visiting max.com while logged in -- sometimes the offer appears as a banner.
Subscribed through Apple/Amazon? Cancel through the billing provider first. The retention email comes from Max directly and may not trigger for third-party subscriptions.
Basic with Ads subscriber? Your retention offer may be different or less generous since the plan is already cheaper.
Already used this offer? Wait at least 6 months before trying again. Max tracks previous retention offers per account.
