Save 10-15% with This 1 Simple Change in How Your Sign Up for New Subscriptions

For all those people who complain about rising subscription fees and spend hours looking for promo codes, here is one simple and highly overlooked trick to save on any new subscriptions you sign up for. Its so simple you will almost think its probably not going to work but trust us, we literally spent hours validating it.

So, what is this powerful, yet simple money-saving hack many people overlook? (drumroll please)... subscribing through your desktop browser. Yup. we are serious.

Here's the eye-opening truth: Research by Bundled shows that subscribing through a desktop browser can save you 10-15% on average compared to other methods like mobile apps, app stores, and even mobile browsers. Let's break down the math:

• Average monthly digital subscription spend for a typical household: $160
• Average monthly recurring spend in other categories including insurance, telecom, software, financial services etc.: $785
• Potential savings with desktop browser: 10-15% = $95-$140
• Yearly savings: $1,140-$1680

That means simply switching to your desktop browser could put an extra $100 a month in your pocket – over $1,200 annually! Why the difference? Mobile platforms and app stores take their cut, leaving you with less. But on your desktop, you unlock hidden savings potential:

1. Cashback Extensions: Services like Rakuten offer deals you won't find on mobile. For example, Rakuten currently offers up to $12.50 cashback on Disney+ bundles when you subscribe through their website. Microsoft Edge offers additional rewards that can be redeemed for gift cards or applied as discounts on future purchases, further amplifying the saving potential. Extensions like Honey or Capital One Shopping are also great if you have access to them.

2. Virtual Card Magic: Tools like Capital One's Eno let you create unique virtual cards for each subscription, giving you ultimate control and easy cancellation within their app. These are much more easily accessible when using a desktop browser.

3. Wider Comparison: On a desktop, you can easily compare deals across different providers to find the best value.

Bundled Research Breakdown:

Even if you are spending $100 a month instead of $1000 on recurring spend, annually the browser-enabled discounts add up to more than a month of your monthly subscription spend. Admittedly, it does take a bit of extra effort but the math totally makes it worth it. Check out our "7 Smart Hacks to Save on Subscriptions" to find out more easy ways to save.
