Two hours ago was two hours ago.

Yes, I cleared all cookies on my second attempt. Still hanging.

What I did notice was that the ABC main page (abc.com) just added an "early access to the deal" link on their home page about 30 minutes ago. Uh oh.

Lucky for you the deal is good until midnight PT Monday.

I have two more email address to burn through.

I'll try much later today with a different browser, or maybe use my phone.

I hit that yesterday too. I switched to another browser and it worked. I seem to be having a lot of hangs on Firefox lately, where I have Ghostery and AdBlocker+ running. My alternative is Chrome with none of those installed. It may be the cookies and other saved data on Firefox (which I use a lot more) are causing the problems rather than the extensions. I'm looking for a way to figure it out because it's getting pretty bad with some sites. E-R.org is one of those sites that occasionally hangs on me.

It would probably only work if you registered a different device on the new account.

I took advantage of this offer but HULU recognized the previous device (Roku box) that I had used in the past for an earlier trial offer.

Thanks!

I use Firefox for most things, with a lot of privacy lockdowns.

I use Edge for Wild-West-Open stuff, or at least I thought so. It is set as "Balanced". I was using Edge to do this and it hung.

I'm going to try it on my phone soon (Android) where I am using the defaults. Let's see what happens. I'll report back.

Thank you for the Hulu promo info.

Best of all with these deals, you don't have to face the crowds - though it sounds like some of us are bumping up against cyber-crowds. YMMV

OK, I feel like the family with Cheeto dust, and dad (Hulu) shined the black light on me. I lit up like a Christmas tree.

So I'm trying to sign up and it is "hanging." I tried on the phone, it still hanged, but I swiped down and amazingly got a screen to enter my payment for $0.99 deal. I entered a different card than my current card.

Red Lights flash (OK, red font) and say "YOU are NOT eligible. Pay the full price of $6.99" (I may have slightly paraphrased.)

So, somewhere they are checking addresses on cards and coordinating, or something. Or maybe I just have too many cookies hanging around. I thought I cleared everything, but perhaps not.

Maybe next year.

Catholic guilt strikes again. I may need to say a few "Our Fathers" to atone for this attempted sin.

For those who want an Instant Pot deal this year:

Quote:

For those who haven't jumped on the Instant Pot bandwagon yet, the holiday shopping season is a great time to buy one because you'll find most models on sale. We're a few days out from Black Friday but the six-quart Instant Pot Duo Plus is already half off, bringing it down to a record low of $59. The higher-end Instant Pot Pro Crisp, which includes an air-fryer lid, is also down to an all-time low of $170.

Thanks for this. I was able to sign up for it without a problem.

Me too! Thanks RE. I also made a note on my calendar to quit on 10/23/22, so that I won't have been a subscriber for at least 30 days, come next year.

I'll confess:

DW and I have taken advantage of this deal three years in a row. We alternate our subscriptions each year and this time was her turn. She used her email address and her CC, but she used the same computer and browser as I used to sign up last year. As I said earlier, no issues signing up.

Sure, if you like 100 channels you never watch and like to watch commercials on the channels you DO watch.

I still have cable but only for live sporting events. I DVR them and start watching 45 minutes into the game. That way I can fast forward through all the commercials and still end up at the game's end within 5-10 minutes of when the game actually ends.

If the day comes where the local pro sports teams have their own channel, and it was $20 a month, I'd sign up in a heartbeat and cut the cable so quick there would be a sonic boom.

I really think I'm being punished somehow.

I've burned 3 email addresses, along with the current address I have. I'm out.

[RetiredAndLovingIt]

When I enter my e-mail address, it says I already have an account. When I click to send my password it says email not valid. (in red)
I'm not that desperate for it, to much hassle

I have some interest in Nat Geo which is available through Disney+. But I don't see any deals for that.

We're currently using HBO Max which had a half price for 6 months deal a while back. Saw Dune and the final Matrix is supposed to come out in Dec.

Once that is done I may try a few months on Disney+ for the extensive Nat Geo programming.

$37.99 is a great price for Quicken Premier. It’s over $70 at Amazon. How can they sell it for so much less?
