Pay Through Third-Party Billing

Many customers signed up for HBO Max through a third-party billing provider like:

• Apple in-app purchases
• Google Play billing
• Roku billing
• Amazon Prime Video Channels
• AT&T/DIRECTV
• Hulu add-on subscription
• YouTube TV

If one of these providers bills you for HBO Max, you will need to update your payment info or cancel your subscription directly through them rather than HBO Max.

To pay your bill, simply sign into your account with the third-party billing provider and find the section to manage subscriptions. There you can find HBO Max and update your payment method.

For detailed instructions, visit the HBO Max support site and search for instructions specific to your billing provider.

On your bill statement, you will find a payment stub and return envelope. Detach the stub, fill it out with your updated account info, enclose your check or money order, and mail it using the return envelope provided.

Be sure to mail your payment 7-10 days before your due date to ensure it arrives on time. Late fees may be charged for payments received after your due date.
