In today’s world, big streaming companies like Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, or Hulu are beginning to squeeze classic television out of the market. More and more people today prefer to buy a streaming subscription and enjoy their favorite shows this way.
It’s much more convenient because with streaming services you don’t have to constantly interrupt to watch commercials, wait for your show to show up on the schedule and you can only watch it at a certain time. You don’t even have to sit in front of the TV, you can run your streaming service from almost any device.
It can also be cheaper for you. Because you don’t need any extra wires or connections. All you need to start using the streaming service is Internet access and a paid subscription to the service you want.
Many of them have an opportunity to suspend your subscription or account. For example, such an opportunity offers its users Hulu. Many users who have used this offer ask a question. How do I reactivate my account in Hulu?
Why do you need to reactivate your account
Actually Hulu has two main reasons why you’ll be asked to reactivate your Hulu account. You can suspend your account to temporarily not pay for your subscription or cancel it.
These two options have significant differences.
What is suspending your Hulu subscription
If you use this feature, it means that you want to stop paying for a while while you are busy and don’t have access to the service. For example, when you go somewhere for 1-2 months.
The period of suspension is up to 12 weeks. After that your account will become inactive and can be canceled. Since this is only a “Pause” Hulu expects you to resume your account as soon as possible.
Also, even if your account is suspended you can still log in. However, you will not be able to access titles, shows, movies until you pay your subscription.
Also remember that the option to suspend an account is available only 3 times in a three-month period.
What is cancelling a Hulu subscription
Unsubscribing will indicate that you wish to terminate your subscription. There is no time limit for how long you want to cancel it.
Usually people do this to stop using Hulu altogether, because they want to cut costs or no longer need a Hulu subscription.
Just as with suspending your account, you can cancel your subscription at any time. In this case, it won’t be about reactivation, but about renewing the service.
If you decide to cancel your subscription, it will still be active for the 1 day billing cycle. It is not possible to cancel a service or subscription in one moment. Only if you are within the trial period will the cancellation be instantaneous.
How to reactivate your Hulu account
If you have decided to reactivate your account to get access to your favorite shows and movies, it’s quite easy to do. All you need to do is:
- Go to the Hulu website
- Then you need to log in to your account
- Then you will be prompted to confirm your details in your account. Enter your username, ID and password
- Then open your account page from the Manage Profiles section. You will just need to click on your name.
- Find and view your subscription section. It should have Your Subscription is Resuming Now click on that button
- You’ll see a notification in front of you that you’ll be charged for your subscription renewal
- Once confirmed, you’re done and your account is active again
It is also worth remembering that temporary suspension will not be possible if you subscribe to Hulu on an annual basis.
How to renew your subscription if you cancel your Hulu account
If you canceled your account and before the end of the billing cycle you’ve decided to change your mind and use Hulu again, but you’ll have the option to do so. In order to do so, all you have to do is contact Hulu. Their customer service will be glad to help you in this matter.
What to do if your account no longer exists
If you are in the situation that your account is canceled and no longer exists, but you want to connect to Hulu streaming service again, you can.
The problem is that you will have to pay for a new subscription. The price may be different from your previous account.
If the cancellation period is more than one month, you can create an account using the same email address, username, etc. To do this you will need to contact Hulu and inform them about your situation. They will be glad to help you with this issue and restore your account functionality as soon as possible.
