Just the other week, my colleague wrote about how an element of Apple TV's subscription would be free from next year – the MLS Season Pass is to be ditched in favour of including content with a regular subscription.
But that got me thinking: ignoring the short-term free trial for new subscribers, is there a way to get a full Apple TV subscription for free? The answer, as it turns out, is yes – but you'll need to fulfil some lofty requirements to be eligible.
Barclays Bank offers a sign-up service to its customers called Barclays Blue Rewards. However, that costs £5 per month (once you're a customer), but it does net you an Apple TV subscription at no further cost – so it does represent a saving for the streaming service.
Premier, however, is reserved for banking customers who hold a Barclays current account and "either pay in a gross annual income of at least £75,000 – or have a total balance of at least £100,000 in savings in eligible investments."
Ah, well that seems like a rather high bar in which to net an Apple TV subscription 'for free'. But hey, here we are, so if you're well-to-do and need to save a further £119.88 per year, then Premier could be for you – there's even a £400 current account switch incentive.
This may not be the dream answer many of you were hoping for, but even if it's for the sake of trivia – now you know that Barclays Premier customers can obtain a free Apple TV subscription in the UK. Not a trial either, but the full-blown ongoing subscription for as long as they keep the cash flowing.
