Overview
- Google announced Wednesday that eligible users can claim 50% off YouTube Premium for 12 months, with the offer open now through April 29 and redeemed through the Google One Benefits page.
- Eligibility covers Google One plans with 2TB or more of storage and the Google AI Pro tier in the US, Canada, Brazil, France, Germany, and Japan, and it applies only to the individual Premium plan for the plan manager or family organizer.
- Existing YouTube Premium members must cancel their current plan and resubscribe via Google One to activate the discount, which Google details in its Help pages.
- The cut slices the current US rate from $15.99 a month to about $7.99, or from $159.99 a year to roughly $79.99 for the first year, delivering significant savings for heavy YouTube users.
- Outlets report different renewal terms after the discounted year, so customers should confirm specifics in Google One Help, and note that AI Ultra already includes YouTube Premium as a built-in perk.
