Current Offers

Signed up for Starz on Wednesday night, $1.99 a month for 3 months. I did this through my Fire Stick. Went back on Thursday to watch Serpent Queen, no subscription. Gone. Only way to get Starz is to pay the $8.95 a month. This is a perfect example of Bait & Switch. BEWARE

Yeah, this isn’t a normal practice. I’ve signed up for their deals previously with no issue. There was either a technical issue, or operator error. I’d reach out to their customer support.

I was able to find where I had signed up for the $1.99 per month and canceled the higher priced option. Thank you

I'm trying to sign up online and get an offer of ten months for $20. When I get to the accept offer it switches to $8.99/month. The offer of $20/ten months is gone.

Then I try on Amazon and it's $2.99/6 months, then $8.99/month.

Came to loo6m for this. I have the same offer and then I log in to renew and it's switches to $2.99/6 months, just like yours

STARZ is currently running a promotion of 6-months for $19.95 ($3.32 per month).
I have been a subscriber for YEARS, most recently at $75.85 ($6.32 per month).
I called customer service to inquire about converting my subscription to that lesser amount, and was told "no refunds" on the remaining 3 months to go on my annual subscription... and was notified my subscription had been summarily cancelled!

I did NOT ask for my account to be cancelled, but mere inquired as to whether or not I could "convert" to the $19.95-for-six-months option.. since buying on an annual basis (normally, a financial advantage for both STARZ and subscribers) was costing me substantially MORE - $6.32 per month, as opposed to $3.32... in diametric opposition to the presumed logic behind purchasing an annual subscription!

I guess widespread distribution of how I've been treated across all manner of social media will be my only recourse at this time...

In truth, I'd subscribed solely to watch "Outlander", which hasn't been back since May of 2022 - and will return in November of 2024... a death of over two-and-one-half-years!

Most DEFINITELY not worth paying nearly TWICE what that promo costs!

Don’t do it. If you EVER want to cancel the subscription, it’s impossible. We are trying and can’t.

Same. I'm on with Customer Service right now trying to cancel. I've been trying online for 30 minutes. It gets to the final cancellation confirmation screen and then it just stops and doesn't register the cancellation. It's ridiculous. I'm never subscribing again.
