9 Services That Are Now Free Due To The Coronavirus

One small silver lining to the coronavirus pandemic is that many companies are now offering their services for free.

Even better, many of these services can save the day when you’re stuck inside by keeping you entertained.

1. Scribd

Use their free 30-day trial to read or listen to as many e-books and audiobooks as you can. With over a million titles in their library, you’re sure to find something that catches your eye.

2. NFL Game Pass

Do you have any sports fans in your family? Let them know about NFL Game Pass, which is now free until May 31.

Even though almost all sports have ceased to exist due to COVID-19 and social distancing, you can use Game Pass to watch past games and tons of unique NFL-related programming.

3. Brit+ Co

They say that quarantine is a great time to learn a new skill or pick up a new hobby. If you’ve been looking to get into arts and crafts or want a new activity to try with your kids, head on over to Brit+ Co and take advantage of their 30 days of free online classes.

You’ll need to enter the code SELFCARE at checkout for this promo to work. Who knows? If you get good enough at making crafts, you could start selling them online for extra cash.

4. Planet Fitness

Whether you go to the gym regularly or don’t go at all, it’s a good idea to move around more when you’re cooped up at home. Planet Fitness is offering free workouts every day at 7 pm Eastern via its Facebook page.

5. Uber Eats

While you can certainly save money by cooking your own meals at home, there may come times when you feel like eating out.

That’s probably not a reality in your area due to COVID-19 closings, to get your restaurant food delivered via Uber Eats for free.

Uber Eats will not charge delivery fees during the entire coronavirus pandemic, which will save you some gas money by not having to get curbside pickup.

6. U-Haul

Do you know anyone who’s in college? Campus closings forced many students to go scrambling for storage space.

New customers with college IDs can get 30 days of self-storage free from U-Haul.

7. Scholastic

Although schools are closed, and some may not open for a long time, you may want to keep your kids’ brains busy during this off time.

You can do so via Scholastic’s online courses that are free and served up every single day for students from pre-K to 6th grade and up.

8. PBS Kids

Do you need ideas to keep your kids entertained during quarantine? Sign up to the PBS Kids newsletter, and they’ll fill your inbox with ideas for free games and activities daily.

This tip can be especially helpful if you have children between two and eight years old.

9. Audible Stories

Amazon’s story-featuring audiobook service is now free until schools open up once again. It’s a great way to keep your kids occupied so you can get a break now and then.
