How to Score Free Memberships and Subscriptions

By Tom Nonmacher

Hello, fellow savers! We all love a good membership or subscription service, don't we? They offer us a world of convenience, from unlimited music streaming to ad-free web surfing, access to exclusive deals or even fitness classes. However, the costs of these memberships can add up over time, eating into our budgets. Fear not, for this blog post will guide you through the art of scoring free memberships and subscriptions, without compromising on quality or enjoyment. Let's dive right into it!

First of all, take advantage of free trials. This may seem obvious, but you'd be surprised at how many people overlook this. Many companies offer free trials to attract new subscribers, ranging from a week to a month or even longer. Use this time to thoroughly explore the service and decide if it's worth continuing. Just remember to cancel before the trial period ends to avoid any charges. A little trick I use is setting a reminder on my phone a few days before it ends, giving me ample time to decide.

Next, consider sharing subscriptions with family or friends. Many services like Netflix, Spotify, and Amazon Prime allow multiple users on one account. This can significantly cut down costs if everyone chips in. But do ensure that you trust the people you share with, as they may have access to your personal information. Always remember to check the terms and conditions of the subscription service, as some have rules against sharing.

Thirdly, look out for promotional offers. Companies often run promotions where you can get extended free trials or even a full year of service for free. These offers are usually tied to purchasing a product or service, so it’s wise to only go for it if you were already planning on making the purchase. Keep an eye on the company's website or sign up for their newsletter to stay updated on these deals.

Another strategy is to leverage your student status, if applicable. Many services offer significant discounts or even free subscriptions to students. Examples include Apple Music, Amazon Prime, and Adobe Creative Cloud. You might need to validate your student status with a .edu email address or through a third-party verification service. So, make sure to take advantage of these offers while you're still in school!

Lastly, be on the lookout for reward programs or credit card perks. Some credit cards offer free subscriptions as part of their rewards program. For instance, some cards include free Amazon Prime or Netflix subscriptions as a perk. Also, some reward programs allow you to redeem points for free memberships. Just make sure that the card's annual fee or the reward program's conditions don't outweigh the benefits.

There you have it, a few strategies to help you enjoy your favorite subscriptions for less or even free! Remember, it's all about being resourceful and making your money work harder for you. Never settle for paying full price when there are ways to get around it. Happy saving, folks!
