Deal #1:
Last week, 19 Disney-owned channels and seven ABC stations were yanked off Spectrum Cable. The Mouse couldn’t come to terms with Spectrum. Therefore, you currently can’t see stations you paid for, like ESPN, FX, Disney Channel, and National Geographic.
Peacock to the rescue! Spectrum has arrange for Spectrum Cable subscribers to get one year of Peacock Premium for free (unless you only subscribe to Spectrum’s Basic or TV Essentials packages).
If you don’t have Spectrum Cable, but do have Spectrum Internet – you’ll get 90 days of Peacock Premium for free.
Jump in there and get the free Peacock Premium before Spectrum and Disney resolve their kerfuffle. It worked easily for me! Then put a reminder in your calendar to cancel Peacock 12 months from now or you’ll get charged the monthly fee when your free year runs out. Click here to get the deal
Deal #2:
Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Get an extra $15/month off your Spectrum Cable bill. If you subscribe to Spectrum Cable, call them. Because of the Disney pullout, the person I spoke with said the standard refund they have been giving is $15/month. Done and done. When you call Spectrum, and the machine asks why you are calling, just say “cancel service”. Tell the person who picks up that you miss your Disney channels and want to know what discounts Spectrum is giving. They’ll offer you the $15/month off your bill. Easy.

TSA PreCheck is an expedited screening program that makes risk assessments about passengers prior to their arrival at an airport checkpoint. In general, security screenings ahead of most domestic and select international flights for PreCheck members are often streamlined and more convenient. That’s partly because members do not have to remove belts, shoes or lightweight jackets at TSA security screenings. Also, large electronics like laptops and tablets can stay in their cases or carry-on bags.
