Just received an email with a new promo code after trying to sign up with the old coupon posted about a week ago.

Hi there,

We have noticed that you hadn't had a chance to finish signing up with Presto and wanted to make sure you don’t miss out on the Presto subscription offer that came as a part of your recent Telstra service.
Presto is unmetered for Telstra Home Broadband customers, so it doesn't count towards your data allowance when viewed on your Telstra home broadband service at home. Otherwise, data charges apply.

    Can this code be used more than once or is it a targeted offer for you only?

    • kirt on 09/06/2016 - 17:13

      I got the email with the same code as well, so should be generic.

          I activated the free 6 months just under 6 months ago and I was due to pay for the next month but the code worked and now $0 is due.

          I logged in. Went to Settings, then Account details and there was a button for a promo code inside the Presto Entertainment box. I entered the code into there.

        I cancelled my previous 3 months and used the exact details to create a new account.Another 6 months of Flight of the Conchords. :P

          You mean you closed your account? :)

        • ommitedspider on 10/06/2016 - 19:09

          @theacekiller: I wasn't sure either that what did [@Fred] mean when he said that he 'cancelled' his account. I went ahead and 'closed' my account and used the same details (same email id, pin, password, cc) to create a new account and it accepted the Promo code.

    • birnie on 09/06/2016 - 17:38

      Same here
      Looking at this : https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/T-Box/How-do-I-access…
      ….there should be an "Add Promo Code" next to the "Pause Subscription" button

      Mines not there, possible as I'm in a promo already
      I've paused it which will stop the charge to my card though…..and I'll check back again after my 6 months is up (19th June)

      Such a crap product but for free, oh well

      EDIT: Ah bugger it, made a new account

    • Forenti on 09/06/2016 - 17:43

      Don't think you can stack when you're already on a promo code unfortunately

      • zeomega on 09/06/2016 - 20:29

        I did… And it worked!

        • Forenti on 09/06/2016 - 20:30

          Where did you enter the code though? I only have 'Pause subscription'

      • cainn on 10/06/2016 - 09:02

        You asked for clarification about how to take things a little bit too far I think.

        Presto, whatever else you think of them, have been pretty cool about all these 6 month free trials that weren't quite intended for the hoards of people who got hold of them. They could have tried to do something about it, but they didn't. But what do you think will happen if all those people start trying to tack on another 6 month free trial that wasn't intended for them?

        I think that we can try to embrace some semblance of a reasonable good faith attitude to these sorts of things, or we can just keep trying to milk them for all they're worth until someone finally says "enough". And then everyone loses.

        Waiting for experts response.

        I suspected the negs was for this line
        i.e. just throwing a question up and waiting for people to do the legwork (for you).

        Mind you yours is nowhere near as bad as the curt comments from the usual slackers here, e.g. anytime a QFF credit card deal pop up, wait for the 'go work out how much the points are worth and reply back to me' comments.

  • mhc on 09/06/2016 - 17:23

    Just used it. Worked perfectly. Thanks OP

  • YellowKnight on 09/06/2016 - 17:26

      Chromecast

      Actually, I find the Android app with ChromeCast makes Presto semi-usable…managed to watch the first season of Wentworth without too much raging ;)

      • Hellfire on 09/06/2016 - 17:38

        I use the android app and chromecast as well with no problems.

        • bargaino on 09/06/2016 - 18:01

          I've used it a bit, and have a few problems.
          Sometimes the app just gives a whitescreen. Or when you try to play it gives a ps401 error. Has crashed a few times.
          Subject to buffering pauses at times. It gets frustrating.
          But usually, if it starts playing, it keeps playing. Its the android app that is the problem. Is IOS better?

          No such problems with Stan.

        • aliocroc on 10/06/2016 - 07:20

          @manic: yep, have found the same.
          Mr. Robot was rife with errors that wouldn't work with chromecast, there was about 4 episodes from the first season that we ended up having to watch on the laptop.

      • syme321 on 10/06/2016 - 13:36

        Yeah semi usable is an apt description - it crashes quite frequently

      Works fine with chromecast. Casting from the android app is the only way I ever use presto.

    Can anyone tell me how to apply the code? I had a look at my account but cannot see where or how i go to extend it. Any advise greatly appreciated.

    • Crownanchor on 09/06/2016 - 17:43

      It maybe possible that you are not able to enter a code, as is the case for me, due to entering a 2 months free code.

      Did you enter a code recently or sign up recently to Presto?

    • rlexyd on 09/06/2016 - 18:36

      Was in the same position as you, couldn't at all find a place to enter my code.
      So I ended creating a new account and entred the promo code with that one and it worked.
      Cheers,

    • UserNameCheckIn on 10/06/2016 - 08:21

      Have a look where they list the different subscription types, once you have entered your Settings page. Enter the Settings page by clicking on the head and shoulders symbol up the top right, and then "Settings".

    Just had my presto extended for another 6months from the previous deal

  • Forenti on 09/06/2016 - 17:42

    Too easy - I was a month into a free 3 month subscription so I suspended that subscription and then added this code and now I have 6 months. Surely we'll get another 6 month code before then too ;)

    • quarrymaster on 09/06/2016 - 21:59

      When you have to unpause it, did you have to first (re)subscribe?

      • Forenti on 09/06/2016 - 22:53

        No, I just clicked pause subscription and confirmed it, then the add promo code field was there and I pasted in this 6 month code

        • ElleEss on 10/06/2016 - 09:07

          I did the same but the promo code was rejected. Can't work out why….?

        • quarrymaster on 10/06/2016 - 12:58

          Mine was already paused, so the option was to Subscribe, which then asked for my PIN…

  • bluedufflecoat on 09/06/2016 - 17:49

      +2

      It is. Tried to watch Mr.Robot through Presto and it would forget where I was up to or that I had even watched it. Then when watching an episode it would buffer constantly.

    • KenDiaMoi on 10/06/2016 - 06:59

      For free it's pretty good. Why not.

    • mikecamimo on 10/06/2016 - 07:46

      Presto does offer some shows that others dont (like Mr Robot), but its a very ordinary UI and I've had streaming issues. Netflix's UI is great, Stan is improving, Presto is crap. As rorymeister says, it doesnt even track where you are in a series.
      The weirdest thing with Presto is that even though I subscribe (allbeit through a the Telstra free six month offer), I still feel like I'm watching pirated shows. When watching Mr Robot it shows a filename at the top of the playback window which looks like one you'd download through torrents, and each episode of Mr Robot doesnt even have a consistent filename, some are mkv, some are avi.

          @mikecamimo:

          If it makes you feel any better you aren't the first/only person to make the same mistake. And in any case that sort of reaction is not entirely disconnected from what they're going for with that type of show.

        • Oz-bargainer on 19/06/2016 - 22:04

  • freefall101 on 09/06/2016 - 19:43

    I only signed up because I knew Presto had a whole lot of the HBO catalog (including Veep). Key word being "had", apparently they've lost all their HBO content, which used to be exclusive in Australia (they had some non-exclusive showtime stuff too, that's gone as well).

    What a crap product it is now, but still thanks OP for giving me a chance to check it out! Maybe it'll return sometime in the next 6 months and I can watch Veep

    • Wampus on 09/06/2016 - 20:11

      Yeah I can't imagine paying for presto. Have a friend who did because he wanted to watch band of brothers; halfway through the series they yanked it from their content. He was furious, they had spruiked that show as a major draw card. Looks like Foxtels attitude towards customers is still going strong

    • chyawala on 12/06/2016 - 19:21

      In all honesty, I think Presto is OK. And Netflix and Stan are OK. They are all not great and just OK as they generally have very limited and dated movies which is not impressive. Personally prefer Stan, however I would never pay ~$10pm for any of these.

    • grang on 09/06/2016 - 23:58

      thinking the same thing… quite bored with Netflix too as I prefer movies over the seasons… if you ignore the season-sagas, the movie refreshes are quite limited.

  • Nousernamehere on 10/06/2016 - 00:38

    Well decided to try out Presto again as I cancelled Netflix for a few months while I had the free 3 months Foxtel offer.

    Problem is, it sucks when casting it to my Nvidia Shield! It glitches on the bottom half of the screen on anything, which I'm not sure if it's a Presto problem, or the Shield problem. I couldn't cast Stan to the Shield either, which is annoying as the Shield should do everything that the Chromcast does and more… But it's casting abilities are sadly lacking

    Anyone else had the same issue when casting it to the Shield?

  • Flowerbomb on 10/06/2016 - 06:27

      It is Australian so no VPN needed.
