Sling TV is shaking up the streaming landscape with the launch of “Pause Extra,” a new option that allows subscribers to temporarily “pause” their paid subscriptions while retaining access to key features and benefits, including a free AMC+ subscription, for just $5 per month.
This innovative offering provides a cost-effective solution for those who may need to take a break from their regular Sling TV programming but still want to enjoy popular content and valuable perks. With Pause Extra, users can:
- Enjoy AMC+ for free: Stream acclaimed original series, movies, and documentaries from AMC Networks, including “The Walking Dead” universe, “Interview with the Vampire,” and much more, at no additional cost.
- Unlock unlimited DVR: Record shows and movies from over 600 free channels available through Sling Freestream, ensuring you never miss your favorite programs.
- Continue earning rewards points: Keep accumulating points towards cash and prizes through Sling’s loyalty program.
- Secure a future discount: Receive a $5 credit for each month of Pause Extra when you reactivate your Sling TV subscription.
This new feature addresses a common challenge for streaming subscribers who often face the dilemma of canceling their service during periods of less frequent viewing, only to lose access to valuable features and potentially face higher costs when they return. Pause Extra eliminates this friction, providing a seamless and affordable way to stay engaged with the Sling TV ecosystem.
Here is the notice customers get when they try to cancel:
To activate Pause Extra:
- Existing Subscribers: Log in to your Sling TV account, navigate to “My Account,” and select “Pause Subscription.” Choose the “Pause Extra” option to retain access to the specified features for $5 per month.
- New Customers: Sign up for a Sling TV free trial and then choose the “Pause Extra” option to access the benefits without committing to a full subscription.
