Disney+ Launches ‘Always-On Perks’ Program
Disney+ has introduced an ‘Always-On Perks’ program, offering subscribers a variety of exclusive rewards and experiences. These perks include opportunities to win tickets to the “Freakier Friday” world premiere and a four-night cruise on the Disney Destiny. Subscribers can also access discounts such as 20% off at adidas.com, 15% off at Funko.com and Loungefly.com, and a 6-month free DashPass membership for new users. Additionally, there are special summer savings at Walt Disney World Resort, with rates starting at $99 per night at select hotels.
On June 2, Hulu complemented this initiative with its own set of perks for Hulu and bundle subscribers. These include chances to win tickets to events like Lollapalooza, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Comic-Con in San Diego. Subscribers can also participate in sweepstakes to win items inspired by Hulu originals such as ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, ‘A Complete Unknown’, and ‘Only Murders in the Building’. Exclusive perks from partners like Microsoft, Pure Green, and LG Electronics will also be available.
This dual-platform approach aims to enhance subscriber engagement by offering continuous value through exclusive experiences and discounts. Disney+ and Hulu plan to regularly update these perks, encouraging subscribers to frequently check for new offers. This initiative reflects Disney’s commitment to rewarding its audience and setting a new standard in subscriber benefits within the streaming industry.

Jack in the Box Partners with T-Pain to Introduce Late-Night Meal
Jack in the Box has partnered with Grammy-winning artist T-Pain to introduce the T-Pain Munchie Meal, a meal made for late-night snacking. Inside the meal includes a choice between a Burg-R-Tater Melt or Chick-N-Tater Melt, a taco, a stuffed cookie, a small drink, and an exclusive T-Pain air freshener.
Guests can also build their own Munchie Meal with any entrée, two sides, and a drink of their choosing. “Late nights are when I’m at my most-creative… Jack has always been the spot for those sessions. This Munchie Meal hits every craving when I’m up all night chasing wins,” said artist T-Pain.
This partnership is also taking over the digital universe with the launch of Jack Zone Wars, a customer game map set on T-Pain’s oversized gaming desk. The quirky battleground features terrain made of soda cans and controllers, with in-game power-ups inspired by the T-Pain Munchie Meal – like tacos for health and Curly Fries for high jumps. Players who order the meal through the Jack app unlock an exclusive T-Pain loadout, giving them enhanced damage and access to mythic weapons.

Starbucks Alters Reusable Cups Rewards
Starbucks is set to modify its Rewards program on June 24, 2025, altering how customers earn points when using reusable cups. The existing system grants a flat 25 bonus stars for each order made with a personal cup. Under the new structure, customers will receive double stars I their entire purchase when using a reusable cup. This change benefits those making larger purchases, as higher spenders will collect more stars under the new system.
This new structure can make it more challenging for customers to earn their stars who make smaller, more frequent purchases. For example, members must now spend at least $6.25 using a refillable Starbucks card, or must spend at least $12.50 using a different payment method to reach the previous 25 bonus stars. Under this system, these customers will need to spend more to achieve the same rewards.
This adjustment aligns with CEO Brian Niccol’s strategy to boost profits by repositioning Starbucks as a premium brand. The coffee brand designed its reusable cup program to encourage its guests to make more eco-friendly decisions, and last year expanded this to include drive-thru orders.
