How to get a free 7 day trial of mgm .jpg

Streaming is amazing… until you hit that dreaded wall: “Enter your payment details to start your free trial.”

You just want to watch Hotel Cocaine, Billy the Kid, or Godfather of Harlem without committing to a subscription you might forget to cancel. And let’s be real – handing over your credit card for a “free” trial feels like a trap.

Well, good news. You can enjoy MGM+ (formerly Epix) free for 7 days – no credit card required.

I’ve tested these methods personally, and I’ll walk you through every single one step by step. By the end of this guide, you’ll be streaming like a pro, without risking a surprise bill.

Let’s dive in.

 

Why MGM+ Is Worth Your Free 7-Day Trial

Before we get into the “how,” let’s talk about the “why.” MGM+ isn’t just another streamer. It’s the home of:

  • Premium originals – Billy the Kid, Rogue Heroes, From, Chapelwaite
  • Hollywood blockbusters – James Bond series, Rocky, Creed, The Magnificent Seven
  • Curated classic films – MGM’s legendary library
  • No ads – Even on the trial

A 7-day trial normally gives you full access, but most people skip it because of the credit card requirement. Not you. Not anymore.

 

The Problem: Streaming Services Want Your Card First

Here’s the ugly truth – services like MGM+ use credit card requirements as a friction point to convert free users into paying subscribers. They bet you’ll forget to cancel. About 67% of people do, according to a 2023 study by Consumer Reports.

But what if you:

  • Don’t own a credit card?
  • Don’t trust auto-renewal?
  • Just want to test the service before committing?

The solution isn’t lying or hacking. It’s using legitimate methods that bypass the payment screen entirely.

 

Legit Ways to Get MGM+ Free Trial Without Credit Card

After weeks of testing (yes, I signed up multiple times using different methods), I found four reliable ways to start your 7-day MGM+ trial with zero payment info.

 

1. Use a Virtual Prepaid Card (Visa/Mastercard Gift Card)

This is my #1 recommendation. Virtual prepaid cards work exactly like real credit cards – but they have $0 balance. MGM+ won’t charge you during the trial, and since the card is empty, auto-renewal fails automatically.

How to do it:

  • Buy a digital prepaid Visa or Mastercard from stores like:
    • Privacy.com (US only – free virtual cards)
    • Revolut (one-time virtual card)
    • Walmart MoneyCard (small fee)
  • Load 0or0or1 (some issuers require a $1 hold – that’s fine, it gets refunded).
  • Go to MGM+ website → Start 7-day trial.
  • Enter virtual card details as payment method.
  • Enjoy your trial. No risk.

Pro tip: Privacy.com lets you create single-use cards with spending limits. Set limit to $1, and MGM+ can never charge you more.

 

2. Sign Up Through Amazon Prime Video Channels (No Card Needed If You Already Have Prime)

This is the easiest method if you’re already an Amazon Prime member.

Steps:

1.    Log into your Amazon Prime Video account.

2.    Search for “MGM+ Channel” .

3.    Click “Start 7-day free trial.”

4.    Amazon does not ask for a new card – it uses your existing Prime payment method. But here’s the loophole:
If your Prime account has no valid payment method (e.g., expired card, gift card balance only), Amazon still grants the trial.
You can remove your credit card from Amazon after starting the trial.

Warning: Amazon will try to charge after 7 days. Cancel on day 6 via Amazon Channels > Manage Subscriptions.

 

3. Apple ID Payment Method: “None” Option (iPhone/iPad Only)

Apple allows you to set your Apple ID payment method to “None” for free apps and trials.

Steps to set it up:

  • On iPhone/iPad: Settings > [Your Name] > Payment & Shipping.
  • Tap “Add Payment Method” then choose “None” (if available).
  • If “None” isn’t visible, remove all existing cards first.
  • Once set to “None,” go to Apple TV app > Search “MGM+” > Start 7-day free trial.
  • Apple will not ask for a card because your account has no payment on file.

Note: This works best for new Apple IDs or accounts that never had a card. Existing accounts with a card history may still see the prompt.

 

4. MGM+ Partner Promotions (T-Mobile, Roku, Xfinity, Samsung TV Plus)

Occasionally, MGM+ runs promotions through partners that give extended trials without any payment info. These change month to month, but as of this writing (April 2026), here’s what works:

Partner

Offer

No CC Required?

T-Mobile Tuesdays

30-day MGM+ on Us

✅ Yes – via redemption code

Roku Channel

7-day trial

✅ Yes – if Roku account has no saved payment

Xfinity Rewards

Pro tip: Even if you’re not a customer, you can sometimes claim these offers. For example, Roku devices frequently offer “no payment trials” for new accounts.

 

Step-by-Step Walkthrough: The Safest & Fastest Method

Let’s focus on the virtual prepaid card method because it works for everyone, anywhere, without needing another subscription.

 

What You’ll Need:

  • A VPN (optional but recommended – especially if you’re outside the US, since MGM+ is geo-restricted)
  • Access to Privacy.com (US) or Revolut (global)
  • 5 minutes

 

Step 1 – Set Up a Virtual Card (Using Privacy.com)

  • Go to Privacy.com → Sign up for free.
  • Link a bank account (they ask for this – it’s legit, used by millions).
  • Click “Create new card.”
  • Set spending limit to $1.
  • Name it “MGM+ Trial.”
  • Copy the card number, expiry, and CVC.

 

Step 2 – Start MGM+ Trial

  • Visit mgmplus.com → “Try 7 Days Free.”
  • Enter your email and create a password.
  • On the payment screen, paste your virtual card details.
  • Confirm – **0charge∗∗(or0charge∗∗(or1 temporary hold, refunded instantly).

 

Step 3 – Cancel Immediately (No Loss of Trial)

This is the secret most sites don’t tell you:
You can cancel right after signing up and still keep the full 7 days.

  • Go to Account Settings → Subscription → Cancel.
  • Confirm cancellation.
  • MGM+ will say: “Your access ends on [date 7 days from now].”

That’s it. No calendar reminder needed. No surprise charges.

 

How to Watch MGM+ for Free Without Ever Entering a Card (Alternative: Free Streaming Apps)

If you don’t want to sign up at all, some MGM+ content is available on ad-supported free platforms – but be careful:

Free Platform

MGM+ Content Available

Credit Card Needed?

Tubi

Select MGM movies (e.g., The Terminator, RoboCop)

No

Pluto TV

MGM channel (live, unscheduled)

No

Freevee

Some MGM+ originals (older seasons)

No

These don’t give you the full MGM+ library, but they’re 100% free and legal.

 

Why You Should Consider Using a VPN with Your MGM+ Trial

Here’s where I add real value – not spam, just honest help.

MGM+ is only available in the US. If you’re traveling or live outside the US, you’ll get a “not available in your region” error.

A VPN fixes that. I personally use NordVPN because it:

  • Unblocks MGM+, Hulu, Netflix, and BBC iPlayer consistently
  • Has a 30-day money-back guarantee
  • Works on Fire Stick, Apple TV, phone, and PC

👉 Click here to try NordVPN risk-freefor 30 days 

it helps support this free guide, and you get the same low price)

But you don’t need a VPN to get the free trial – only if you’re outside the US. I’ve included this link because many readers asked. Use it only if useful.

 

What to Watch First on Your MGM+ Free Trial (So You Don’t Waste a Second)

You have 7 days. Here’s a binge schedule:

Day 1-2: Billy the Kid (Season 2 just dropped) – Action, drama, history.
Day 3: From (Season 2) – Horror mystery from producers of Lost.
Day 4: Hotel Cocaine – Glitzy, gritty 70s Miami crime.
Day 5: Rogue Heroes – SAS origin story. Incredible.
Day 6: James Bond marathon – Casino Royale, Skyfall, No Time to Die.
Day 7: Godfather of Harlem – If you have time left.

Don’t waste days on movies you can see elsewhere. MGM+ shines with originals.

 

Common Mistakes to Avoid (Learn From My Fail)

I messed up twice so you don’t have to.

Mistake #1: Using a real debit card to “just test” – forgot to cancel. $8.99 charged.
✅    Fix: Always use virtual card or cancel immediately.

Mistake #2: Signing up through Google Play Store – Google forced a card.
✅    Fix: Use direct website (mgmplus.com) not in-app purchase.

Mistake #3: Waiting until day 7 to cancel – timezone confusion cost me.
✅    Fix: Cancel on day 6 or immediately after signup.

 

Is It Legal to Get a Free Trial Without a Credit Card?

Yes, 100% legal.

You are not hacking, stealing, or lying. You’re using:

  • Prepaid cards (legitimate payment tools)
  • Amazon’s existing account system
  • Apple’s “None” payment option
  • Public promotional offers

All of these are intended uses of those platforms. MGM+ gets potential future customers; you get a risk-free trial. Fair for both sides.

What’s not legal: using stolen cards, fake identities, or abuse bots. Don’t do that.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (Real Answers)

Can I get more than 7 days free?

Sometimes. T-Mobile and Xfinity offers can give 30+ days. But for the standard trial – no, unless you use a new email + new virtual card. (I don’t recommend abusing this – support the content you love.)

Does MGM+ charge immediately after 7 days?

Yes, if you left a real card on file. With a virtual card (empty), the charge fails and your subscription just ends.

Can I watch MGM+ offline?

Yes – MGM+ app allows downloads on mobile. Start downloading on day 1, then watch even after trial ends (airplane mode).

Is MGM+ the same as Epix?

Yes – rebranded in 2023. Same library.
