This is why it's usually a good idea to fully test streaming services out before committing to a monthly or annual cost. If there are some films and TV shows that aren't available with your current streaming service and you're looking to switch or add another streamer to your roster, then we're happy to report that Peacock is offering a free 3-month trial of its Premium service for a limited time. This saves you a total of $24, with the subscription costing you $8 a month once the trial period is over. This deal lasts until September 30. This deal is for Peacock's Premium tier, which regularly costs $8 a month and includes ads. The offer states that it's for Samsung, but if you don't own or haven't purchased one of their devices recently, fret not. You can still sign up for this free three-month trial and watch some of Peacock's best shows. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

Peacock Annual Plan Deal: Stream 'Love Island USA' and More For Less
If you've let your Peacock subscription lapse or want to try the streaming service for the first time, you could watch Love Island USA and more originals with a deal right now. You won't be able to snag the offer if you're a current Peacock subscriber, according to the terms, but if eligible, you can get an annual Peacock Premium subscription for $25 instead of the typical $80. The code to use while signing up for Peacock Premium is SPRINGSAVINGS. The code is valid until May 30. The streaming service won't renew at the discounted $25 rate again, so be sure to cancel before the year is up if you don't want to pay the typical $80 price for 12 more months.
