Get an additional 6 months free Presto. For existing customers in their last month OR for new customers.

SMS Presto to 0484100900 from any mobile that you have not already used to SMS this number.

This will give you a code starting with TEL that can be used to get an additional 6 months free Presto if you are in your last free month prior to 31 July 2016. Get the code now and use before 31 July 2016.

Similar to a previous free 6 months Presto but with a different number to SMS to. And with this one the code you receive is valid for use until 31 July 2016.

****EDIT*****
For 9 months free Presto:

(1) Signup as a new customer and use the 3 months free code posted earlier today (TELXAM16 thanks to qiqi1021).
(2) SMS as detailed here and get your 6 months free code now while you can.
(3) Between 10 July 2016 and 31 July 2016 you are in your last free month from the 3 month code so use your 6 month free code which is still valid.

****EDIT*****

I can confirm deal to obtain 6 month free code by SMS has EXPIRED.

        A true Ozbargainer would have cancelled and gotten new credit cards for signup bonuses well before that periods ends P-)

        • mduncan2 on 09/05/2016 - 15:36

          This is essentially what I did… my credit card got conveniently 'replaced' a few months ago and so Presto had the incorrect expiry date in their system. They tried taking the first monthly amount out on the 3rd June (before i remembered to cancel). I cancelled on the afternoon of the 3rd. I have received an email from them telling me they'll try twice more otherwise they will cancel my account.

      With presto, u need to use a real credit card to sign up, but after this you can use any credit card number generator from the net and replace your actual one. It passes the checks and when it comes time to pay it simply fails and u don't get charged :)

      • lonix on 09/05/2016 - 21:16

        Unless payment succeeds then you get charged with credit card fraud.

          Set the expiry date really high (2030, etc) and you should be fine, on the rare chance you did manage to charge somebody.

      • Jaxx on 10/05/2016 - 09:36

        Or you can use a 'test' card (one with a number that passes the algorithm):

        • The Alphanumeric on 11/05/2016 - 16:57

          It's so weird that a card number like that checks out! I'm going to use this in the future.

        • Matt88 on 11/05/2016 - 21:28
          +1

          It worked! Will still cancel before expiry, it just means when they get hacked my credit card details will not be stolen

        • lysp on 11/05/2016 - 21:59
          +1

          @KKCD:

          The last digit in a card number is what's called a check digit. Basically it determines a valid card by that digit alone.

          This means if you change the last digit from 0-9, you'll find a number that'll pass the pre-check that most places use (to make sure people have entered their number correctly).

          Extra information:

          The formula is basically to add up every number in the card (except for the last) where every 2nd one is doubled. Then the last digit will be the number to add to the total to give you the next number which is a multiple of 10.

          5555 5555 5555 444x

          (5 + 10 + 5 + 10) + (5 + 10 + 5 + 10) + (5 + 10 + 5 + 10) + (4 + 8 + 4) = 106.

          106 + x = 110.

          So last number / check digit is 4.

    I've had a quick look through the Presto website, but I figure I might as well ask here: if you already have Stan, Netflix (US), Hulu and HBO, is there anything on Presto that makes it worthwhile?

    I mean, 3 or 6 months for free I'm probably going to sign up and find out for myself, but I want to set expectations correctly in the mean time!

    I can't sign up for an account with Presto. None of the forms work. I've tried three different browsers but nothing happens when you click next, it just empties the password field and that's it.

      I can't find anywhere to enter a new code.

    • bruc3 on 09/05/2016 - 15:47

      Yep wondering the same thing.

      So I just signed up to the 3 Months free one. So can I apply the additional 6 Months free too now i.e. 9 Months free?

      And how to apply the code?

          Mine doesn't have that option there. But im pretty sure I saw the option earlier when I first signed up, so looks like its been removed now. Anyway, I dont think you can stack both of them anyway, until your on your final Month of current subscription.

      go into your Presto account and click settings. on the left panel that shows what account you have there will be a button that asks you to enter in a promo code.

      edit: once you enter the code, you can't enter any further codes. if you're currently in the middle of a promo, maybe you're not able to take advantage of this offer?

      You can't enter in another code until you are within the last week or two of your current subscription.

      IMO just go with the 6 month sub…another freebie code will come along before that one ends.

      • bruc3 on 09/05/2016 - 16:00

        Ok, so how do I change from the current 3 Month free to the 6 Month free?

        • kirt on 09/05/2016 - 16:10

          You'll have to cancel your 3 months sub and sign up for the 6 month one.

    • bruc3 on 09/05/2016 - 15:57

      Reading the OP more carefully, according to this:
      (3) Between 10 July 2016 and 31 July 2016 you are in your last free month from the 3 month code so use you 6 month free code which is still valid.

      It looks to me you cannot apply the 6 Months free code until your in the final Month of your current free subscription. So looks like we need to wait another 2 Months till we can apply this code.

      I definitely will forget, so I have set a reminder on my calendar.

      You cannot add the free 6 month TELxxxx code until you are in your last month (or your account has expired). If you opened account today with 30 day trail you can add free 6 month code tomorrow for 7 free months. If you opened account today with 3 month trial you need to wait until 10 July 2016 to add your 6 month code.

      • lonewolf on 09/05/2016 - 16:10

        Yeah but that app only works on selected TVs and other devices. I have tested it out on about 5 different Android Media players (Nvidia Shield, Tronsmart, Beelink as well as a couple of others). After hours of trying it out i learnt from Presto themselves that it is not supported. They only mean Android TV as in selected Samsung TVs and Sony TVs that have support for Android TV as well as the Google Nexus Media player..THATS IT!!! I was soo annoyed. Makes no sense and why they cant compete with any of the other streaming services.

          It's even dodgy on Sony Android TV's. I figured out why it would skip through half a movie or stop completely. If you fast forward or rewind, when you press play, the movie etc plays fine but the interface still thinks it's fast forwarding and the next time you press pause it will jump to where the player thinks it should be. And if you don't press pause and it gets to the end, the movie will just shut off.. You can work around it once you know about the issue, but I'd never pay for the service until things like that are fixed.
