apple tv free year

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and I wanted to use the free year on Apple TV since I have never used it, but when I go to the app It only gives me the 7 day trial. What can be done with this?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Here’s how to redeem it:

It starts charging in one year, if you don’t cancel. At that point it begins charging monthly. It’s free for a whole year, so you just cancel at least 24hrs before the billing date and you won’t pay anything.


Unless you were trying to choose the 7 day trial, then that's the case, but not for the free year. This thread is asking about the free year


All subscriptions can be cancelled before they renew, so you don’t have to pay.

Thank you for your response, of course I am trying to accept the free year they are giving me for the phone I’ve bought. But it says agree for the free year and when I click continue, it asks for my Apple ID and says if I click continue I will start 1 week free and then $4,99 starting august 31. So???

that’s why I say it is not true, I couldn’t find a single person that says they have the free one year trial

Somehow it’s not working as it should or you missed part of the instructions and also note, you have 90 days from when you activated the new device to redeem the offer - if you try to do it once the offer has expired you will only see the 7 day offer.

You will need to Contact Support

There are thousands of people who have the one year free, myself included. Albeit some people are experiencing difficulties getting it.
