Andrew’s Top Ways To Save on BFI Player
First, take advantage of all the BFI Player free trials that you can (Prime Channel, Direct, Apple TV). You can get them all.
Then, decide whether you want to subscribe to BFI Player annually to save money. With streaming services, I find that chopping and changing is the way to go. Subscribe, watch, then cancel until you want to restart your subscription.
I use JustWatch, a free app, to create movie and TV watchlists. Then, I’ll subscribe to a streaming service like BFI Player, watch everything on my watchlist, cancel and move on to a different streaming service. It takes a little more planning but it can save you a lot over the long term.
