YouTube Premium subscription free for 3 months: Here's how you can activate it

YouTube Premium is currently offering a free 3-month subscription for Indian users, a substantial saving from its usual price of Rs 139 per month or Rs 399 for three months. Activating this promotion offers users many benefits such as ad-free content, background playback, and offline downloads among other things.

Claiming YouTube Premium's free 3-month subscription

In order to claim this free three-month subscription ensure you have not purchased YouTube Premium before. The steps are quite straightforward.

– Open your YouTube app 

– Select 'Get YouTube Premium'

– Then choose the free 3-month offer. 

– Enter your bank card details but this is only for validation and no charge will be processed initially. 

After the trial period, the subscription will automatically renew at a cost of Rs 129 per month unless you choose to cancel the subscription. 

Benefits of YouTube Premium 

YouTube Premium is a paid subscription service that comes with several advantages over the standard YouTube experience. It offers an ad-free viewing environment, which is one of the biggest draws for many users. A subscription to YouTube Premium also includes access to YouTube Music Premium. This is YouTube's dedicated music streaming service that provides millions of songs and videos in an ad-free setting. 

Another key feature of YouTube Premium is the ability to play videos in the background. This means you can continue listening to the audio from a YouTube video when you switch to another app on your device or lock your screen.  Another beneficial feature is offline downloads. Subscribers also gain access to YouTube Originals, which comprises various movies, series, and documentaries exclusive to paying members. In regions where YouTube TV is available, YouTube Premium members also get access to this service.

Alternative ways to access YouTube Premium

Users have other avenues to access YouTube Premium for free. Flipkart, for example, is offering promotions where users can get a free 3-month YouTube Premium subscription in exchange for zero (for select users) or 75 SuperCoins. This offer includes access to YouTube Music Premium and allows ad-free entertainment on mobile devices, including access to Live Channels, Movies, Kids Cartoons, Indian blockbusters, and more without advertisements. The offer is valid for all Flipkart members.
