Fox Nation: Your First Year Free
Fox Nation gives active first responders their first year free, and after that you get 50% off each annual renewal. Active firefighters (career and volunteer), paramedics and EMTs, and local, state and federal law enforcement all qualify.
Click Start Now, create your account or sign in to the one you have, and verify through SheerID. Fox Nation asks for a payment method up front but doesn’t charge it during the free year. If you also qualify for the military offer, you can only use one of them.
YouTube TV: $15 Off A Month For 12 Months
YouTube TV takes $15 off a month for 12 months for first responders, which is $180 in savings. That puts the Base Plan at $67.99 a month for the first year, and then it goes to the standard price, currently $82.99 a month.
You verify through ID.me, and you need a Google account to sign up. Redeem it by 12/31. It can’t be combined with other coupon offers.
NBA League Pass: 30% Off A Season
NBA League Pass takes 30% off League Pass Season-Long or 12 months of League Pass Monthly. Law enforcement, firefighters and first responders are all on the list.
Verify through GovX to get a unique promo code, then redeem it on NBA.com. Season-Long can only be redeemed through 11/24, so if you want the whole season at 30% off, do it before then.
Peacock: Premium For $7.99 A Month
Peacock Premium is $7.99 a month for 12 months for first responders, and then it’s $12.99 a month. Active firefighters (career and volunteer), paramedics and EMTs, and law enforcement qualify, and so do nurses and other medical professionals.
Verify through SheerID and you get a one-time promo code that’s good for 30 days. If you already have a Peacock account, sign in and redeem the code there. Peacock asks you to verify again every year.
DISH: The Stars & Stripes Pack Free
DISH adds the Stars & Stripes Pack free to a new first responder order, a $240 value over two years, and your first On Demand movie rental every month is free. It also upgrades your DVR to a Hopper.
It’s for new and qualifying former customers, and it comes with a 2-year commitment. If you cancel early, there’s an early termination fee of $20 a month for the months left.
Fubo: $30 Off Your First Two Months
Fubo takes $30 off your first two months for first responders. You click Verify on Fubo’s offer page, finish the verification with ID.me and sign up.
Fubo’s pricing page ties the $30 off months 1 and 2 to Fubo Pro, so check which plan is in your cart before you pay.
