YouTube TV (YTTV) users wanting to lock in their existing price can use a simple trick to postpone the service’s price hike for at least six months.

YTTV users were disappointed by a substantial price hike, with Google announcing users would have to pay $10 more per month, beginning in January 2025. The price hike will bring the monthly cost to $82.99, instead of the $72.99.

While the new price is still relatively reasonable, especially compared to competing products, $82.99 is nonetheless more than some are willing or able to pay. Fortunately, there’s a simple way to keep the existing price for a while longer.

Spotted by users on Reddit, attempting to cancel one’s YTTV subscription leads to Google offering a $10 a month promo code for staying subscribed. This writer can attest to the fact that the trick works, having secured the $10 promo.

When trying to cancel, Google will first recommend altering the plan, dropping premium channels, etc. Continuing past option that will lead to the promo code being offered. Once the promo is accepted, the user should receive the following email:

Hi [user],
