Tried to sign up..... just offered me the one week for free. You have to be more user friendly HULU

@misterron: You nailed it. Folks, be mindful of the link you use and you'll end up with the 3 month membership. Just finished signing up (you do have to provide a CC num during registration) and activated my TV and already am scanning the offerings as we speak. At $0, I'd say it's worth every penny.

"It is very important to understand that you will not receive a notice from Hulu that your free trial subscription has ended or that your paying subscription has begun."

Make a note for yourself somewhere. :)

awesome! MUST copy paste it.

Does anyone know how early you have to cancel the (free) membership in order to avoid the monthly charges?

@coldwatercreep: "If you wish to avoid charges to your Payment Method, you must cancel Hulu Plus prior to midnight Eastern Time on the last day of your free trial period."

Credit card required... It's a Trap!!! Or, you know, set an Outlook/phone reminder to cancel.

Getting around the "credit card required" problem is easy.

Go to any bank and ask to buy a gift card. It will be a Visa or MC. It will cost about $5. Put $1 on it, or put $50 on it and spend $49 on groceries.

Use your new $1 Visa debit card to sign up for Hulu (or anything else). When the free period expires, if you forget to cancel, they'll try to charge your card, it will fail and cost you nothing.

I just signed up for a 1 month trial last night. I am now emailing customer support to see if they can extend it to 3 months.

@slerner100 & @czupik: In case you didn't read my other post: "This was the original link: http://www.hulu.com/plus/lg_offer. Copy and paste it and make sure it matches exactly and the 3 month offer shows on the page."

i use to be able to read, then i took a arrow to the knee. thanks very much! worked perfectly!

I would think a once shot temporary card number like Citi supplies would do the trick too. Just set the expiration to 2 months.

@tiamat114: You're welcome! That's what this site is all about, helping others find deals they normally might miss.

Awesome find! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, it's so funny how there's the gimmicks from businesses--they can't just have a standard link. Instead they have to have one that's specific and then if you don't happen to enter just the right one, you get stuck with a mere 7 day trial which isn't worth the hassle. Do they not realize by now that it's the internet and the good links will be what is shared amongst the masses, where you actually get your time (and/or money's) worth?? LOLz

@ashdlop: Nope use the 2nd link and copy and paste the url it will not work if you click on it. I just signed up. Thanks a lot!

Thanks Woot!

WHOO-HOO, signed up and signed in on my roku, next to download the app to my phone! THANKS!

Copied and pasted, used a temporary MasterCard number. Let me think...is there anything I want to watch?

Have a Roku in the bedroom and a PS3 in the living room, already have Netflix...think this might have just put the nail in the coffin for Cable TV for me.

i'm putting the apps on my droid x, kindle fire and ipads. and it'll be fun on the woot! roku box, too!

it'll be great during my vacation between xmas and ny in venice beach: after all, there's nothing else to look at down there . . .

;^)

@misterron: Thank you, from me and my 6 week old LG 55LW6500.

See you in 3 months for a new link !

I got the regular Hulu to watch on the comp just to check it out, but we just bought a blu-ray player with built-in streaming, so this is awesome. The idea is that I can watch most TV on my Netflix and Hulu accounts, and cut back on our sattelite bill substantially. I just want the local stations and to be able to watch the Broncos play!

Copy and paste worked for me - THANKS!!!

It works!!
