As expected, Apple today introduced a bundle deal that allows Apple TV+ subscribers to subscribe to CBS All Access and Showtime for $9.99 per month combined. The bundle can be redeemed through the Apple TV app in the United States.

CBS All Access and Showtime usually cost $20.98 per month combined, so this bundle provides an over 50 percent discount.

CBS and Showtime are available through Apple TV Channels, a feature that lets Apple device users sign up for and watch various subscription television services right within the ‌Apple TV‌ app. Users still need to pay for the streaming services, but without the hassle of downloading an app and signing up separately.

Apple TV+ itself costs $4.99 per month.

Except they are having technical issues and are billing the $20.98 and you will get a retroactive adjustment in a month or two. I spent 50 minutes on the phone with them over this and I am not a happy camper right now.

I was only billed the 9.99 this month..

I think that's only if you already had CBS and Showtime subscriptions before the bundle offer. If it bothers you, you should be able to cancel those and subscribe to the bundle instead.

Same issue here. I had neither CBS or Showtime subscribed. I clicked on the promo to subscribe to both. I ended up with CBSAA only. I click the promo again and I got a separate sub to Showtime. Both were at full price. I contact Apple support a few days ago and they said it would be corrected. Checked today (after my Showtime trial ran out) and still only have CBSAA.

Can't do that. First you have to wait until your existing subscription to run out. That could be up to a month later. Plus, Apple is no longer advertising the special. I can't try subscribing even if I wanted to.

BTW, I had neither subscription before clicking the promo. I ended up with two separate, full-price, subscriptions. So, there is definitely an issue on how Apple is handling this promo.
