To get an extended free trial period for Apple TV+, you have to

  • not claimed this offer before,
  • purchase your new device from Apple or an Apple Authorized reseller,
  • claim the offer on your new eligible device, not on a different device,
  • redeem the offer within 3 months of activating your new eligible device.
  • For devices activated (first use) after July 1st, the offer period is shorter.
  • The offer is for the first user (by Apple ID) of the device.


If you have been subscribed (payed) to Apple TV+ before, then the automated redeem method may not work for you. Then contact the Apple Support staff to see about your options.

I signed up on my computer, but can't get it for more than the 7 day free trial on my tv through my Roku. My account on my computer says I have it subscribed through my roku. How to get it on my tv?

On Roku or smart TV, users should sign in to the TV app, through the in-app Settings (sprockets wheel icon) with the Apple ID account that has the subscription. Then the subscription will be recognized by the app.


I got a free offer for 1 year Apple+ through netflix.

I think you might be mistaken. I don’t think Netflix has promotions for other streaming services.

Hi,


I'm the same issue. I can confirm:


  • I've not claimed this offer before,
  • I did purchase the new device from Apple or an Apple Authorized reseller,
  • I am trying to claim the offer on your new eligible device, not on a different device,
  • I am attempting to redeem the offer within 3 months of activating your new eligible device.
  • I am the first user of the device.


What can I do? I can't seem to find any way of just emailing support to look at this.
