YouTube TV subscribers are still largely heated over the removal of Disney-owned channels earlier this week, but while we’re still waiting on a wider credit for the lost channels, YouTube TV is giving some users an unexpected $10 credit while also calling the Disney feud “unnecessarily aggressive.”
As some users have confirmed on Reddit, a $10 credit is appearing for some YouTube TV subscribers. The credit isn’t automatic and instead appears under Settings > Membership > Manage Plan. It seems to be only accessible through the desktop website. When accepted, the $10 credit applies for six months before your bill reverts to the original cost.
There’s no notification of the credit, and it also seems to be rather random. We’ve not seen the offer on our account, but there are a handful of user reports of the offer appearing. If your account happens to be eligible, you might be able to see the offer at this link.
This also does not appear to be tied to the $20 credit YouTube TV is set to offer if Disney channels are unavailable for an “extended period of time.” In a poll last week, the majority of 9to5Google readers who responded said that the $20 credit either wasn’t enough or they were simply tired of the constant possibility of losing channels and planned on ditching the service.
YouTube TV subscribers continue to voice their frustration with the Disney situation, with some noting that, even though it’s only been a couple of days since affected channels went dark, it led to missing college football broadcasts, as others pointed out how weekend sports are a huge attraction for YouTube TV in the first place.
Are you seeing the credit? How do you feel about the Disney situation?
