When I did it, I had to use chat assistance for help. But my case was complicated as in order to sign up for the (new) Duo plan, I had to cancel my Hulu sub and then sign up through Disney+ to get the Duo plan with Hulu. It was a pain. BTW, this is the page for the Duo/Trio plans: https://www.disneyplus.com/welcome/disney-hulu-espn-bundle But, like I said, you canNOT activate this on the Hulu side, only on the Disney+ side. And I'm not sure they ever offer "special deals" on these. > Most of my streaming service plans are either annual so I pay once and > forget about it or free through cable. My Peacock and Prime are annual - I will renew Peacock annual soon, but I have to decide what to do about Prime since they changed my plan on me halfway through. Max and Pee+ I get ("free") through my cable. And I don't have Netflix right now, and have no real incentive to get it, even during summer...
