MORE subscription cost hikes are afoot for popular streaming services.
Disney+ recently announced it is bumping up fees by £3 for those who don’t want ads, while Amazon Prime is planning a similar move.

Fortunately there are some ways to save money for the top three streaming services.
Disney+
Disney+ currently costs £7.99 per month in the UK – but you’ll have to pay an extra £3 for the privilege of no ads next month.
The firm is also clamping down on password sharing like Netflix.
One solution to avoid the upcoming extra charges is by signing up to an annual subscription before November 1, that way you’re locked into the old discounted rate for a year.

Another way you can cut the cost is by using Tesco Clubcard to pay for it instead, if you have enough points of course.
£12 worth of Clubcard vouchers gets you three months of Disney+.
A third solution is to subscribe through Priority if you’re an O2 customer.
Having it billed through Virgin Media O2 knocks £2 off a month.

Amazon Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video is set to change prices too in the new year.
The exact amount for UK users is yet to be announced but in the US you’ll have to pay an extra $2.99 to avoid ads.
However, at the moment there’s a trick that will save you £2 per month.
If you’re on O2, you can link your Prime and O2 account, and £2 will be deducted from your phone bill.
Netflix
Netflix increased costs not that long ago – but there’s rumours another hike could be coming.
You can get Netflix slightly cheaper if you add it to your Sky or Virgin Media account if you’re an existing customer.
Otherwise, you could try the cheapest tier which is £4.99 with ads.
Of course, it has a number of limitations on top of ads, but it could save you a fair bit.
