Get 3 Months Presto on us for both new and existing Presto customers.

Existing customers in their final free month can add this by doing the following.

  1. Pause subscription

  2. Enter the code in the promo box, do not contact Presto Support as they will not add it without proof of eligibility.

" Note: Presto will no longer be available as of 31 January 2017 and will be removed from all platforms past this date." It appears this promo/free accounts will not be transitioned to Foxtel Play.

    You know it was announced today that Presto is being wound up in January? Apparently subscribers are being rolled over to Foxtel Play.

          It's wonderful having no print journalists at those terrible Murdoch owned newspapers, it's not like internet news is just made up, paraphrased press releases and repeating what every other website says or anything.

          Just delightful!

          @Diji1:

          100%, at least Murdoch was a devil you know.

          Luckily, despite all efforts by conservatives and interests, we still have ABC and SBS, else there would be nothing to watch on TV.

      As someone who uses Foxtel play, I can't wait to see how much anger and hate they're going to get for that. Haven't seen a joke of a service since in a long time.

      Now just need to get me some popcorn.

      I have a solid ROFL every time one of these fantastic 'free' offers comes up.
      Presto is like an anti-business. No customers. No content. And, no future.

    • hollykryten on 04/10/2016 - 17:43

      No wonder Presto is leaving the market if no one is actually paying for it.

    • argonide on 04/10/2016 - 17:57
      +6

      I've had the 18 months free and watched a couple of things but never finished them because the interface is awful.

      The product is awful, so nobody paid for it. Because nobody paid for it, it never improved.

    • zqipz on 05/10/2016 - 13:56

    • hollykryten on 04/10/2016 - 17:45

      Wonder if they put a stop to coupon stacking. They wouldn't have wanted people getting years of free account like some have been getting. If no one pays, they go broke.

      • Pollywaffle on 04/10/2016 - 17:55
        +1

        I wouldn't blame them. I've had Presto for almost two years and never payed a single month!

        • Slo20 on 04/10/2016 - 18:03

          Me either polly. I have a feeling last time I extended it I had to cancel the subscription then add new code.

        • Pollywaffle on 04/10/2016 - 18:05

          @Slo20: Yeah, I tried pausing it and I thought I'd have the option to enter the code when I un-paused it, but no luck. I'll wait a couple of days until it expires and see if I can enter it in then.

        • Slo20 on 04/10/2016 - 18:09

          @Pollywaffle: I might enter the code later in the year. If they rolling over customers to Foxtel play I might actually watch something on there. So far presto had been good for about 4 shows over 2 years.

    • 1Kenobi on 04/10/2016 - 17:53

      Same question - where does the coupon go?

    • themeadowlands87 on 04/10/2016 - 17:55

      A third for not seeing where coupon code goes - I think Hollykryten must be right, I looked for quite a while (and have previously successfully added codes).

    • madllama on 04/10/2016 - 18:10

      Try pausing your current subscription, in the past that has made the box for entering a code re-appear.

    • thatonethere on 04/10/2016 - 20:53
      +1

      If you contact [email protected] with your account email and coupon they will manually apply it. They cant apply it to paused subscriptions.

  • Jay80Lives on 04/10/2016 - 17:44

    Will this definitely work even after it merges into Foxtel Play?

    Although most of their apps are munted (Telstra TV and Fetch TV were the main exceptions that work well), and their HD can be a little fuzzy, they actually have some decent content worth watching before they are killed off:

    • Mad Men
    • The Walking Dead
    • The Sopranos
    • Homeland
    • Wentworth
    • American Horror Story
    • Mr. Robot
    • Everybody Loves Raymond
    • The Office
    • The X Files
    • Sons of Anarchy
    • Packed to the Rafters
    • Gavin and Stacey
    • The Americans
    • Weeds
    • Parks and Rec

    etc…

    • ilikeradiohead on 04/10/2016 - 17:53
      +2

      They have good content, but using their app is so frustrating that I would never pay for Presto. And now with their demise hopefully the content migrates to netflix so I can watch it on a platform I would pay for.

      • Lunatic on 04/10/2016 - 19:34

    So that's what Foxtel is doing with all that money they saved from losing the EPL rights. Looks like they're going to try and rival Netflix now with their Foxtel Play by buying out the competition.

    • ilikeradiohead on 04/10/2016 - 18:25

      Presto is a joint venture between Foxtel and Channel 7. Foxtel has bought out Channel 7's stake and announced that they're closing it down. Not exactly buying out the competition when it's their own service.

      • team teri on 04/10/2016 - 20:18

        If you go to 'Settings' you see the different packages they offer. Underneath each one it has a link to enter a promo code.

        That is for paused accounts. Not sure you can enter it on an active account.

  • Andrew87 on 04/10/2016 - 18:22

    I forgot to jot down when my last coupon expires - how do I find that?

    • Icant Isimplycant on 04/10/2016 - 18:32

      log in and go to settings, then pause your current subscription. It will replace the "active" subscription to the date when it will shut off :)

    Posting so I can more easily find this in 4 weeks time when my free sub runs out. Be interesting to see how the merge into Fox Play or whatever it is called, goes. I have next to zero interest in paying Fox any money for anything, but we've really enjoyed our Presto account (given it has cost us nothing), it sits pretty well with Netflix and Stan.

  • iboshow on 04/10/2016 - 19:38

    Foxtel Play is expensive so why close down Presto. Also why would anyone want Foxtel Play instead of Presto.
