HBO Max doesn’t have a teacher discount. Your best bets for paying less are the yearly Basic With Ads plan, which costs $109.99 and saves $21 compared with paying monthly, and 1.5% cashback through a Fluz virtual card. The only discount HBO Max offers is for college students.

If you’ve been paying full price for Friday-night shows and want to knock a little off, the two routes below don’t need any ID or code, and neither one is limited to teachers.

How To Get The HBO Max Teacher Discount

There isn’t a teacher rate to claim, so here’s how to get cash back on your subscription instead:

  1. Create a Fluz account. Fluz asks you to verify your identity and link a bank account to fund purchases.
  2. Open the HBO Max offer and generate a Fluz virtual card.
  3. Use the virtual card to pay for your HBO Max plan. You get 1.5% cashback on the purchase.

A Fluz virtual card works anywhere Mastercard or Visa is accepted. Check the total at checkout before you pay.

What HBO Max Costs

HBO Max has three plans, and paying for a year up front is cheaper than paying monthly:

  • Basic With Ads is $10.99 a month or $109.99 a year, which saves $21.
  • Standard is $18.49 a month or $184.99 a year, which saves $36.
  • Premium is $22.99 a month or $229.99 a year, and saves the most of the three.

Prices don’t include tax. If the ad-supported plan is enough for how you watch, the yearly Basic With Ads price is the cheapest way in, and you can see every plan on HBO Max’s savings page.

The Student Discount

HBO Max gives college students 50% off: Basic With Ads for $5.49 a month instead of $10.99. You need to be 18 or older, billed directly by HBO Max and enrolled at an accredited U.S. college or university, and you verify through UNiDAYS. The discounted price renews monthly for up to 12 months unless you cancel. If you’re a teacher taking classes yourself, this is the version to look at on HBO Max’s student page.

Other Cash Back Sites

Fluz is the only cash back route for HBO Max. TopCashback and Rakuten don’t have an HBO Max listing. Fluz says its offers change, so check the rate on its page before you pay.
