Reward Websites Say you’ve used up your Hulu free trial and don’t have other services that could get you an account for free. So, what now? Well, if you’re willing to put in a little work, you may be able to earn yourself a Hulu subscription! Reward websites ask you to play games, answer surveys, and/or watch videos to earn points. You can then use those points to “purchase” Hulu gift cards.
- We recommend Swagbucks or Idle Empire.
- Keep in mind that it may take a while to earn enough points for a full Hulu subscription, but it’ll be worth it!

Promo Codes While not always reliable, a promo code may get you a discount on a Hulu subscription. Hulu promo codes are few and far between, but they’re not nonexistent. Find Hulu promo codes, coupon codes, and other deals on Groupon or Rakuten.
- Try searching “Hulu promo codes” or “Hulu discounts” online for even more options.
- Pay attention to Hulu’s socials and commercials. They often have deals or longer free trials around the holidays or when a big show or movie is premiering.^{[7]
