DStv gives free Disney+ subscriptions

MultiChoice is giving DStv subscribers three months of Disney+ for free, TV with Thinus reports.

According to TV expert Thinus Ferreira, DStv has started sending subscribers part of its DStv Rewards Loyalty Programme an “exclusive offer” for a limited-time free subscription.

“Our new plus one is launching on 18 May, and as a valued Rewards member, we are giving you three months of Disney+ on us,” DStv stated.

The broadcaster asked these customers to confirm their cellphone numbers as that would be used to link to their Disney+ account.

DStv Rewards is a free programme open to all residential DStv account holders with at least one active DStv subscription.

It provides discounts and special offers on DStv products, installations, upgrades, and free entries to competitions.

Customers have to join the programme from their MyDStv online dashboard.

MultiChoice confirmed the promotion was available and explained the following rules applied:

  • A pre-requisite to receive the reward, is that DStv must have the customer’s correct and most updated cellphone number, as the offer is linked to a unique cellphone number and Disney will communicate important information, such as a unique OTP directly to the customer.
  • Qualifying customers will be offered the opportunity to update their cellphone numbers in order to take up the offer.
  • Customers who do not update and provide DStv with the correct cellphone number by 15 May will not be able to enjoy the 3-month reward.
  • Rewards members must log in to their 3-month Disney+ reward from 18 May to enjoy the full 3 months.
