The streaming service is a must-have for fans of "Property Brothers," "90 Day Fiance," and other shows on Discovery, Food Network, TLC, and HGTV.
Outside of this offer, Discovery Plus usually costs $5 a month with ads, or $7 a month for the ad-free plan. Regular free trials only last for seven days, making Verizon's deal the best we've seen outside of a few, short-lived outliers.
Who qualifies for Verizon's Discovery Plus deal?
To get six months of Discovery Plus for free, you need to be subscribed to Verizon's Unlimited, Go Unlimited, Beyond Unlimited, Above Unlimited, Do More Unlimited, or Start Unlimited plans.
