CNN Discounts ‘All Access’ News Subscription Service to Just $1.99 – Claim the Deal Here

CNN's All Access subscription just dropped to $1.99 per month for the first two months — a 72% clip off the usual $6.99 rate — but the catch is you can only grab it through Prime Video's add-on channel, according to Rolling Stone. The promo expires Monday, September 7, so you've got roughly a week to decide whether another news subscription is worth even an introductory fee in a streaming stack that's already loaded.

What you're actually paying $1.99 for

For that trial rate, CNN All Access hands over live streams of CNN U.S. and CNN International, a paywall-free pass to every article on CNN.com, and the network's on-demand catalog of docs, films, web exclusives, and podcasts. Headline programming on the roster includes Anderson Cooper 360, CNN NewsNight With Abby Phillip, The Lead With Jake Tapper, and newer pieces like Decades in Sports, The Tupac Murder Trial, and Luigi: The Murder and the Myth — originals and library cuts that don't surface on cable CNN at the same depth.

The bundle's biggest practical perk, honestly, is the CNN.com paywall kill. Anyone who's tried to read three CNN articles in a day and hit a hard wall already knows the math: the subscription effectively pays for itself if you're a regular reader, even before the live streams matter.

The fine print and the device list

The $1.99 rate locks in for two months, then auto-jumps back to $6.99/month unless you cancel in time. You're not required to hold a Prime membership — the deal is open to any Amazon shopper — but a $14.99/month or $139/year Prime membership tacks on shipping perks, Prime Video, and a 30-day free trial if you want to test the whole ecosystem. Device support is broad: Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Google TV, Android TV, LG, Samsung, and Vizio smart TVs, plus iOS, Android, and Chrome/Safari browsers. Translation — any TV remote you already own works.

One friction point: this is an Amazon channel bolt-on, not a standalone CNN signup, so billing lives inside Prime Video. That means you cancel it the same way — through Amazon's "Channels" management page — not through a CNN login. Know that path before you sign up, because the $6.99 auto-resume has snagged plenty of streamers who forgot where they subscribed.

Buy, trial, or skip

If you already cable-watch CNN and the CNN.com paywall has been frustrating you, two months at $1.99 is a low-risk trial — just set a phone reminder for the renewal date so the price jump doesn't blindside you. If your news diet runs through free YouTube clips, network apps, or a single live TV bundle, skip it; one less auto-renew on the calendar is worth more than the savings. And if you're stacking promos across streaming services right now, other active deal bundles running through Prime Video channels can stretch a single Prime account into multiple trials at once.
