[ UPDATE 6/11/2019 10:55 ] We noticed that some users may not get 4-months and the trial offer is account and device dependent. Some users may only get 1 or 2 months free trial.

[ UPDATE 6/11/2019 22:50 ] According to YouTube, the 4 months free trial is available for selected Samsung devices. Below is their clarification:

*4 month free trial promotion available with eligible purchase and activation of a Note10, S10, Tab S6 or Tab S5e. All other Samsung Galaxy mobile devices are eligible to receive a 2 month free trial. At the end of the trial period, users will be automatically charged the standard subscription price unless cancelled before the end of the trial. Offer must be redeemed by March 31, 2020. Restrictions and terms apply.

There’s also a family plan option at RM26.90/month and you can add up to 5 family members (aged 13+) under your household. The family plan comes with a 1-month free trial.

If you’re using an iOS device such as an iPhone or an iPad, you’ll have to pay more as it is billed via iTunes. It costs RM23.90/month for individual and RM35.90/month for a family plan. That’s RM6 more per month for individuals. On top of that, you’ll only get 1-month free trial.

Apple users can pay lower by subscribing via a web browser to enjoy lower rates via your credit or debit card. The subscription is tied to your account so it doesn’t matter which device you’re watching from.
