For those needing a way to watch the game today…

My wife came up with this today, and it worked for us. Wanted to pass it along… Certain Chase cards allow cardholders to get Instacart+ for free. Know what you can get for free with an Instacart+ membership? That’s right, Peacock… We had a Chase card that was eligible so was able to get both Instacart+ and Peacock for free today. Go Bills!

Crazy that we dont get the game on local tv in rochester...

Only on the blackout side. When it benefits you& not so much. All roch folks should be lighting up their congressional rep w/ this bs. Its should be one way or the other

It is so stupid. Rochester is a giant part of the Bills fan base.

We are a huge part of the Bills market area, it's such bullshit we aren't officially included.

Right? And where do the Bills do training camp?

u/brawlrats avatar

Absolutely. I’m in Jamestown…same distance from Buffalo as Rochester…and we get it here. No reason Rochester shouldn’t have it on local TV.

Great call out! I used the promo 2 months ago and have peacock without even realizing. Thanks!!

Happy to pass it along! My wife gets the credit, though. I had no idea any of this was going on and she researched all these promotions. My dumb ass didn’t have any plan in place to watch the game…

I just resentfully signed up for Peacocktv. I'm pretty sure I'll be cancelling it tomorrow.

It's one thing if there is compelling content that makes me want to sign up. It's another thing if they compel me to sign up to watch something that should be on over-the-air channels.

God forbid it be the Bills again, but Peacock has an exclusive playoff game wildcard weekend.

Peacock will become the home to the first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL Playoff game, presenting an NFL Wild Card Playoff in prime time on Saturday, Jan. 13, 2024

u/npanth avatar

Oof, I guess I just threw $6 down the slippery slope.

If I were you, I'd have the window open and my mouse over the 'cancel' button before the game ends. The second the clock hits 0, click cancel.

I'd want the data/marketing analysts tracking the "success" of this BS move to see the big FU loud and clear!

u/amberbmx avatar

i mean… you can cancel literally 30 seconds after signing up and still have access until the end of your 30 day period.

u/sdpercussion avatar

That would be fine too. My point was just to show the data analysts that are likely tracking the conversion rate on this stunt, that won't be tricking fans into forgetting to cancel after the game.

I'm keeping through the other exclusive game and thinking of it like pay per view. Plus it pays for itself if I had to go to a bar to see the game instead of staying home.

u/cfj003 avatar

Except you’d being watching for free at home

u/auntiepink007 avatar

I live in Iowa. We don't get many Bills games regardless.

Niceee, I have chase freedom, sapphire and flex, so I’m sure we can try this. Thanks!

Check instacart.com/chase but likely you’ll be OK. I think she used our Sapphire Reserve card, but we also have a Freedom card. The site doesn’t specify so it’s likely the promotion applies to multiple card types…

u/sneas7 avatar

I haven't tried it yet, but the Instacart+ site says:
12 free months with Sapphire Reserve and J.P. Morgan Reserve

6 free months with Sapphire and Sapphire Preferred

3 free months with Freedom, Freedom Flex, Freedom Unlimited, Freedom Rise, Freedom Student, Slate and Slate Edge

Ah your right! Thanks for posting more info!

I, an upstanding and model citizen, would never suggest using such a disgusting and helpful site to view your favorite teams and would never suggest using usually the first link to watch the game. HOWEVER if you do use this, recommend a VPN

u/AdolescentAlien avatar

Don’t think .com works anymore. I’ve been using nflbite.app

u/AdolescentAlien avatar

Really?? For some reason every time I would use .com it would let me click on a game and then when i got to all the stream links for that game, none of the links worked. Like I would click on it and it just wasn’t functional at all and it wouldn’t even try to take me to an actual site that hosts the stream. Weird.

2 months free peacock for Jet Blue miles members -

https://www.peacocktv.com/jetblue

So dumb, I’m just finding out game isn’t on cable, legit such a scam putting this on peacock or whatever

AMEX has a deal w Peacock, too. Spend $6 get $6 back.

wish I knew this 10 minutes ago....

u/YourCrimeisover avatar

🙏🙏🙏 Awesome thank you!

u/mtnagel avatar

Had that deal on my Delta Amex card and Rakuten had a $2.50 off deal so I should make a couple bucks.

I have a valid card but for some reason it wouldn’t let me input it for the free 6-months of Instacart+. That said, I was still able to get a free 2-week trial of Instacart+ without entering any CC info at all, and that still got me the free Peacock trial.

Worked for me, thanks a million! Now if the game was going better…

u/krashe1313 avatar

I that's a very legit way to get the game without resorting to third party independent providers such as https://www.thestreameast.io 😉

People really don’t want to spend $6.

Why should I be coerced into paying for something I don't want and in that same process financially support a process that is detrimental to consumers.

If you watch the game on Peacock that you got for free through Instacart+ from your Chase credit card you’re still supporting the process and multi-billion dollar corporations. You’re not “sticking it to the man.”

u/swampscientist avatar

No you’re finding a way to watch without buying anything else

Exactly!

I don't support any of those options.

I mean free<$6, no? Plus you get a year of both services…

Dude, times are hard out here. Some people dont have $6, some people dont have credit cards, etc.

Hook somebody up if you can, and if not dont look down on them for trying to save a few bucks is my 2 cents

u/npanth avatar

It's not so much the money. I agree, $6 isn't the end of the world. It's the idea that they are forcing us to sign up for Another recurring payment, for ANOTHER streaming service. It's in the same vein as car companies charging monthly subscriptions for heated seats and cruise control.

Not about the money..Peacock is one of the only channels I don’t have…why? I tried it and didn’t like it..last time I kept forgetting to cancel it and paid for months for a channel I didn’t watch…fuck that noise

Just use vipbox. Quit making a big deal about it.

I mean many already have a Chase card. Seems fairly simple right?

I usually get all Bills games on Vubo, I mean no matter where it’s being shown..I’m not so sure tonight because my Vubo nbc feed is not Buffalo it’s syracuse…I don’t watch local news so I never cared…my Vubo Says it will be on at 730 but I’m worried

This might be the ticket man. I was going to sit this game out and find a radio stream

I had to make an emergency subscription to Dazn here in Toronto that I'll cancel after the game...thanks, NFL, you greedy fucks. Watching the game cost will me $30 bucks.
