Current codes vs wait for Black Friday

Paramount+: codes like SAVEANNUAL30 (≈30% off annual) or short monthly promos for new/returning. Disney+/Hulu bundle is the usual Black Friday target (Nov 27) — last year’s deep discounts aren’t live yet for BF 2026, so waiting may beat locking a full-price month. Apple TV still lists a short free trial for eligible new users.
