Now in its fourth year, Twitch&aposs annual Subtember promotion is back. Starting on September 1st at 10AM ET, the company will let you save up to 30 percent on a channel subscription. The longer you decide to support a streamer, the more you’ll save.
Here’s how it works. You can get 20 percent off the first month of a new monthly subscription; 25 percent off the first three months of a new quarterly subscription; and 30 percent off the first six months of a new biannual subscription.
Not to be confused with Prime Gaming, channel plans give you access to select perks when watching a specific streamer. For instance, you&aposll have access to custom chat emotes, a badge that identifies you as a subscriber and ad-free viewing in select channels. You can also apply the discount to tier two and tier three subscriptions, which feature perks like additional emotes.
While you get a discount on the cost of a subscription, the streamer you support will receive the same amount of money had you signed up normally. There&aposs also no limit to the number of channels you can help this way — though you can&apost use the promotion to save money on one of your current subscriptions. Also keep in mind that once your plan renews, its cost goes back up.
As Twitch points out, when you proactively decide to support a channel for three or six months at a time, it makes it easier for that creator to manage their finances. That&aposs something that can help lesser-known streamers. The promotion will run through to the end of September.
