Optus SubHub brings subscriptions into one place, with Amazon Prime available at launch and other big streamers to follow.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The number of streaming services in Australia is continuing to grow, and if you feel like its hard to keep track of what youre paying for (and what youve cancelled) Optus has launched a new service to help.

Optus SubHub wants to make managing your subscriptions easier by putting
them in one place, and as an incentive, users can save up to 10% on their
paid subscriptions when they add three or more to SubHub.

At launch, Amazon Prime is the only video streaming service that can be added to SubHub, but more are on the way Optus says Netflix, Paramount Plus, BritBox and Fetch TV are all coming soon, as well as documentary streaming service iwonder.

Its not only for video streaming services either youll be able to add other subscriptions at launch including Kindle Unlimited , the meditation app Calm, news aggregator Inkl and Optus Sport. If you use one of the many Amazon services such as Prime Video , Prime Gaming or Amazon Music, theyre all included at launch too. Best Optus mobile plans Need NBN?

The real benefit of using SubHub though is the ability to save on your subscriptions. If you add at least two, youll save 5% on both, and if you add three or more, youll save 10% on all subscriptions.

The services will need to be eligible to be added to SubHub though, and some prominent streamers are noticeably absent, such as Stan, Disney Plus and Foxtel-owned properties Binge and Kayo . Considering Telstra owns a stake in Foxtel though, we cant imagine Binge or Kayo will be available on StubHub anytime soon.

Youll need to be an Optus customer to use StubHub, and its available through the My Optus app or through the SubHub website . If youd like to check it out but youre not an Optus user, take a look at its mobile plans below. As an added bonus, Optus customers can get 12-months of Amazon Prime for free as well.
