Rogers has recently announced that it will be offering its TV customers in Canada access to the ad-supported version of Disney+ at no additional cost. This move is part of the carrier's efforts to provide added value to its customers, both new and existing.
Existing customers who are on eligible plans like Total, Popular, and Premier will receive a notification from Rogers via email regarding the free Disney+ offer. They can also activate the subscription through a banner in MyRogers. For those who are already subscribed to Disney+, they will need to cancel their current plan before activating the free plan from Rogers.
Furthermore, Rogers has stated that customers who wish to upgrade to the ad-free version of Disney+ will have the option to do so through Rogers in the future. This flexibility allows customers to tailor their streaming experience to suit their preferences.
It is important to note that Rogers is not the only carrier offering free Disney+ to its customers. Telus, for instance, offers Optik TV customers the opportunity to add one premium streaming platform, including Disney+, at no extra cost. Additionally, Telus provides 24 months of free, ad-free Disney+ to mobile customers on eligible 5G+ Premium plans.
In the past, Rogers has also extended free Disney+ offers to customers on certain mobile plans. While Bell used to offer free Crave on select mobile plans, this option is no longer available.
Overall, the initiative by Rogers to provide free Disney+ to its TV customers underscores the growing trend among Canadian telecommunications companies to enhance their offerings with popular streaming services. This move benefits customers by giving them access to a wider range of content without incurring additional costs.
