Hulu military and veteran discount

Proof and verification
Hulu checks military status through The Exchange (ShopMyExchange.com), which hands you to Hulu through Authenticate Now.
Accepted proof
Hulu does not list documents. You need an Exchange account verified as an authorized shopper, and The Exchange decides what proof it accepts.
How long it takes
Hulu gives no review time. Once your Exchange account is verified, Authenticate Now sends you straight to Hulu.
At the register
This is an online subscription with no register route.
Without a smartphone
Every step runs on The Exchange and Hulu websites, so a computer browser works.
Recently separated
Your Exchange account must show you as an authorized shopper before Hulu will accept it. If The Exchange shows an error, Hulu says to contact The Exchange.
Privacy
After The Exchange sends you over, Hulu asks for an email, a password and payment details. Hulu does not say what The Exchange shares with it.
Verifying again
Hulu requires a current Exchange membership. It does not describe a yearly recheck.

The cheapest way to buy Hulu as a veteran
The military discount is not always the lowest price. Compare it with these before you buy.
The military rate is 25 percent off Hulu (With Ads) alone, so you pay 75 percent of that plan's price. Hulu's welcome page lists a Disney+, Hulu Bundle Basic at $12.99 a month, which adds Disney+ but gets no military discount. Compare 75 percent of the With Ads price shown at signup with $12.99 before you choose.
The military rate cannot be combined with other promotional pricing. Add-ons can be added at their regular monthly charge.
Hulu's military rate is reached only through The Exchange website, so you need an Exchange account first.
Veterans with an honorable discharge, or a general discharge under honorable conditions, can shop the online military exchanges: ShopMyExchange.com, MyNavyExchange.com, MyMCX.com and ShopCGX.com.
Uniforms, alcohol and tobacco are excluded. Online shopping does not give family members shopping rights or base access.
Create an exchange account. If your records need review, follow the VetVerify link; recent separations can take time to appear.
Shopping is tax-free. Shipping costs vary by site, and we could not confirm a free-shipping minimum.

The discount vanished after a plan change
The rate applies only to Hulu (With Ads). Moving to Premium, a bundle or Live TV removes it, while add-ons do not.
You expected a free trial
The military offer has no free trial, so billing starts right away.
Hulu is billed through another company
Only subscriptions billed directly by Hulu qualify, so a plan paid through a partner cannot get the rate.
