Free Apple + TV offer

If this is a “Free” perk, why does Apple then require separate registration with credit card info???

 

It's a free trial, that will continue at $4.99 per month once the free trial is over, unless you cancel the trial before it ends.  That's why payment info is required; you are signing up for the service.

Just more personal info out there for the T-Mobile hack?

This free "perk" is technically a 12 month free trial. You will need a valid payment method for when the trial period ends, and regular subscription fees need to be collected, if you are still subscribed by that time. This practice is often used by many streaming companies including Apple TV+

If you already have an Apple ID, a credit card is not strictly needed as such. Other payment methods are good, too. Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support

dmhtwice2, they were having technical difficulties yesterday so they took the link down.  Once they got it fixed, the put the link back up.  The only annoying thing (but it an Apple thing, not a T-M thing) is that there is no app to watch Apple TV on an Android device.  Luckily, however, I was able to put it on my Amazon Firestick.

Luckily I have Roku TVs. Work's fine. I just have to remember to cancel before they hit my credit card.

I have been having the same problem 

It appears that T-Mobile doesn't know how to do give-aways properly.  First they give away all of our personal information, then they can't give away a perk.  Maybe they'll get this figured out one of these days.

This would require only the most basic user interface testing to get it right… very disappointing

I have been on the phone for 2 hrs this morning with Apple.  I have 2 TVs and they could not get AppleT. To work on either TV.   A waste of time for sure

I have been on the phone for 2 hrs this morning with Apple.  I have 2 different TVs and cannot open any programs/movies.  AppleTV a could not help.

Ive been trying and all i get is the "click below to redeem directly with apple". When you click on that Apple just wants you to sogn in or create a new account, then nothing. No free offer etc.
