Disney Plus Redeem Now Not Working – What to Do

Disney’s hot new subscription service is taking the streaming world by storm. The aggressively low pricing and heaps of content are having people flock to subscribe. And Disney is doing their best to make it as enticing as possible by partnering with a huge number of outlets to offer deals for people to get started.

One of those deals comes in the form of 12 free months with select Verizon services. If you’re having trouble figuring out how to redeem your free Disney Plus subscription, you’ll find out how to do so in this article.

So, What’s the Deal?

For a limited time, Verizon customers that have unlimited phone plans, 5G home internet or Fios home internet are eligible to receive a 12-month subscription to Disney Plus for free. The subscription will allow for up to four devices to stream Disney Plus and unlimited viewing profiles. Customers that don’t have unlimited phone plans can upgrade their plan to become eligible for the offer.

Savvy customers will take note of a separate but related offer that Apple is making. People who purchase an iPhone 11 will receive a year-long subscription to Apple’s upcoming service, Apple TV. Therefore, with the purchase of an iPhone 11 with a Verizon Unlimited plan, consumers will be getting $144 worth of subscription services along with their phones.

Disney Plus with Verizon 5G or Home Internet

To get a Disney Plus subscription with Verizon, you’ll first have to make sure that you have qualifying service. You can find out if you qualify by simply going to Verizon’s dedicated page for Disney Plus subscriptions.

Once you’re on the page, scroll down until you see the words “Get yours with Unlimited or 5G Home”. Under that banner, you’ll see several options.

If you have an unlimited plan you just want to redeem your subscription, click on the link right below the first option, “Already have Unlimited?” which will direct you to a sign-in page where you’ll enter your Verizon account information.

When you log in, you’ll be redirected automatically to a page where you’ll be asked to confirm that you wish to redeem the Disney Plus offer. When you redeem the offer, your 12-month subscription period will start immediately. If you already have a Disney Plus account, the clock on that account will stop and the free subscription will kick in. After the 12 free months, you’ll start back up on your original subscription.

If you don’t already have an unlimited plan with Verizon, you’ll need to select one of the other options on the page. It’s pretty self-explanatory, but you can upgrade your plan, start a new plan, or switch to 5G home internet to become eligible.

Each of the options will redirect you to a page that walks you through setting up the desired service. After you set up the Verizon service, you can navigate back to Verizon’s Disney Plus page and go through the process described above.

Redeeming Disney Plus from A Mobile Device

If you want to use a mobile device to redeem the free subscription you can do so from the My Verizon app. Alternatively, you can use the above site on a mobile browser as well, very little will change in terms of the interface.

Install the My Verizon app on your mobile device and log in with your Verizon account. Then, tap on the drop-down menu in the home screen and access “My Account”. In your account, select “Add Ons” and then tap on “Entertainment”. You’ll see the option to apply a promo code to your account, and then you’ll be given the option to link your Disney Plus account to the Verizon account. Once you link them, the subscription should start immediately.

Disney Plus with Fios

Finally, Verizon Fios customers will also be eligible to receive the subscription. When you sign up for Verizon’s new Fios service, and if your Fios account is eligible, you’ll be sent an email with a link to redeem your 12 months through My Verizon or My Fios. If you don’t receive that email after signing up for Fios, contact Verizon customer support with the issue.
