Subscribe to our newsletter Following the backlash it received for quietly hiking YouTube Pre mium prices in the US , Google has unveiled a new deal that gets you 50% off a year of YouTube Premium when you sign up to a Google One Premium or Google AI plan
as long as you meet certain criteria.

Vice President of Google Photos and Google One, Shimrit Ben-Yair, shared the bundle deal to her X account (see below), while the Google Gemini account on
X also announced the special surprise for our Gemini power users. By popular demand! Starting today, new and existing $10+ subscribers get 50% off a YouTube Premium subscription for an entire year. Bundle your storage and AI benefits with ad-free videos, background play, and offline downloads for the ultimate Google experience. pic.twitter.com/2LJ7qDGnni April 15, 2026 When
you sign up , the deal will knock 50% off a 12-month YouTube Premium membership, so you'll pay $80 instead of $159.99. As per Google's outline of the offer , your YouTube Premium add-on will remain active for the duration
of your membership; however this deal will only be available until April 29, which will be your last day to claim.

Google has been making quite a few changes to its Google One Premium plans recently. Just a few weeks ago it doubled the storage allowance for its AI
Pro tier , which also offers the YouTube Premium add-on for a limited time, without increasing the price.

But before you rush to sign up, there are a few things to note. Google One Premium with 12 months of YouTube Premium: was $159.99 now $80 at one.google.com Sign up to Google One Premium for $9.99 a month and from there you can add a 12-month YouTube Premium membership for half price. This add-on is also available with the Google AI Pro plan for $19.99, and the Google AI Ultra plan at $249.99 a month. View Deal As mentioned in the X post, the YouTube Premium deal is only available for Google One Premium subscribers who are paying for 2TB of storage or higher. The Google AI Pro plan is also included, as it offers 5TB of storage. This means that those on the Basic, Standard, and Google AI Plus won't be eligible.

There are also some regional restrictions to bear in mind. You can only claim the discount if youre based in the US, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, or Japan, so UK subscribers will unfortunately miss out.
