Anyone who has subscribed to Prime Video already has access to an impressive range of films and series. But the portfolio of the streaming service Amazon also has its limits. That is why there are now more than 50 optional extra channels that you can book and thus expand your offer even further.
Even before the start of Prime Day this year, Amazon is highlighting this opportunity with a savings promotion: Numerous Prime Video channels are significantly extending their free trial periods – many of them from seven to 30 days!
Important to know: There are two conditions to take advantage of the extended trial periods on select Prime Channels. The first should be obvious – you must be subscribed to Amazon Prime. If that doesn’t apply to you, you can simply enter one 30-day trial subscription* start and qualify for free shipping, streaming on Prime Video and the many Prime Day offers in the coming days.
Point two to watch out for: if you want to use the extended period instead of the usual free trial on a Prime Video Channel, you should use it until Wednesday get started. Because this promotion also ends with Prime Day.
“Top Gun 2”, “American Psycho”, True Crime and many more
Prime Video Channels participating in this promotion include BBC player*, which lures with nerd-cult Doctor Who and the acclaimed series Orphan Black, in which She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany plays a bunch of clones. Meanwhile, it is especially exciting for movie fans MGM+*home to countless movie classics and cult titles, from “American Psycho” to “Terminator” to “The Two Glorious Scoundrels”.
At this point, it’s probably still some kind of insider tip ARD Plus*, the service on which ARD shares content that it is no longer allowed to offer free of charge in its media libraries due to licensing rights and clauses in the Media State Treaty. ARD Plus is therefore the reservoir for films such as the crazy action film satire “Cop Secret”, the three-hour Oscar winner “Drive My Car” or the controversial shocker “Der Freie Wille”.
Bee Film cult* meanwhile, the name says it all: the portfolio includes the mystery cult “Donnie Darko”, the horror film “Orphan”, which burns into your memory with its legendary twist, and the milestone revenge thriller “Ein Mann sucht Rot” and John Carpenter’s sci-fi action classic The Rattlesnake.
True crime fans, on the other hand, will find it on the Prime Video Channel, among others Crime + Investigation Games* get their money’s worth. Meanwhile, Paramount+ is offering a very special deal: If you have Paramount+ before Wednesday if you have Prime Video Channel, you’ll get 50% off a 3 month subscription!
Paramount+ is home to the Mission: Impossible saga, the Scream franchise, and the hit western series Yellowstone and its spin-offs. Other titles you can find on Paramount+ include Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick, horror phenomenon Smile and adventure The Lost City with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and Brad Pitt.
Good to know: Subscriptions to Prime Video Channels always auto-renew. Super practical if you’ve tasted blood and fancy a second portion after the free subscription. Bargains, on the other hand, should remember to cancel their subscription in time.
