Warner Bros. Discovery has introduced an extra member fee for its Max streaming service in the US. Subscribers can pay an additional $8 per month to add one extra user to their account. This feature is available for all price plans and allows the extra user to have their own separate log-in credentials. However, subscribers who access Max through a bundle are excluded from this option. The additional user is restricted to streaming on one device and must reside in the same country, in this case, the US.
Similar to other streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus, the extra member fee is optional and aimed at reducing password sharing among households. Customers are encouraged to either pay the extra fee, get their own subscription, or risk being prohibited from accessing the streaming service if they are located in a different region. Max offers a variety of content including original titles, live sports, HBO shows, and a range of movies and TV shows from Warner Bros. Discovery brands like Cartoon Network and HGTV. Additionally, customers can take advantage of a special deal on an annual subscription with the new Max offer.
The fee option for adding an extra member can be found in the subscription settings of the Max streaming service. The main account holder can choose to pay the $8 monthly fee and invite someone to create an account under their subscription. The additional user will have their own account with separate log-in details and can transfer an adult profile from an existing shared account to the new one. However, the extra user is limited to streaming on one device and must be located in the US. This new feature is part of Warner Bros. Discovery’s efforts to crack down on password sharing and encourage individual subscriptions.
Max provides access to a wide range of content, including original titles like Hacks, live sports on the B/R Sports tier, HBO shows like The Last of Us and The White Lotus, as well as a variety of movies and TV shows from Warner Bros. Discovery brands. The streaming service aims to offer a diverse selection of entertainment options to its subscribers. With the introduction of the extra member fee, Warner Bros. Discovery is giving customers the flexibility to add a user to their account for an additional cost, while also incentivizing individual subscriptions and reducing password sharing among households.
