Disney Plus and Hulu's new 'Perks' feature offers discounts, tickets to movie premieres and more

Disney Plus and Hulu have come up with a new idea to draw in subscribers: an updated "Perks" program. If you sign up for a subscription with either of those services, Perks will give you freebies like a six-month DoorDash membership, discounted stays at Walt Disney World and 20 percent off Adidas shoes. You'll even get a shot at winning items from Hulu shows, like actual A Handmaid's Tale robes and wings (which seems a bit on the nose in our current times). 

The offer is now available to current and new Disney Plus subscribers and will launch for Hulu on June 2nd. Other companies participating including Microsoft, Pure Green, LG and Funko, with new perks arriving every week this summer. If you subscribe to one of Disney's Disney Plus and Hulu bundle plans, you'll get access perks from both programs. An international launch is set for later this year. 

Disney Plus counts 126.0 million paid subscribers worldwide as of March 31 this year, thanks to 1.4 million new signups in the first three months of 2025, according to Variety. Paid Hulu subscribers rose by 1.1 million during the same period and now stand at 54.7 million. By comparison, Netflix counted 301.6 million paid subscribers globally at the end of 2024.
