Can't sign into Max like others

This seems to be a common problem:

I have a qualifying plan type (Max is also listed as a benefit of my plan when I log into the ATT mobile app). However when I try to connect I get an error saying "Can’t Verify Subscription. It looks like you don’t have access to Max through this provider. If you think this is a mistake, please contact your provider directly. You can also try connecting through another provider."

Some have mentioned that their is a tile on your account page you need to click to activate/link your account but my profile page does not have such an account. It seems like others have had success and possibly by DM'ing a responding community support person. I would love to see how others have resolved this

My issue was resolved within minutes after receiving a DM and connecting to a CS agent on the phone. Consider this closed

Hey ef477! We understand you mentioned this feature being included in your plan, 

Let's look into this together and help you avail it. 

Before we move on, here's some basics troubleshoot we can try -

If you can't sign into Max, you may need to try one or more of the following solutions:

  • Restart Max
  • Play another show or movie
  • Update Max
  • Sign out and restart your device
  • Try another device
  • Try device troubleshooting
  • Restart your network devices
  • Reset your password

    If you have tried all the steps mentioned  above- This error can be caused by a few factors, 
     To start, please answer a few questions for us:
  • What wireless and/or internet plan do you have? Max is only available with certain grandfathered plans. If you've recently changed your plan, or signed up for service, then you may not be eligible.
  • Have you activated your Max benefit? While you may be eligible, this perk isn't active immediately. You'll need to sign into your AT&T account and look for a tile that says "Activate Max" or "Start Watching" to activate this subscription. 
    Some plans require you to activate Max in your myAT&T account. In addition, if you change plans, you’ll lose your Max benefit and won’t be able to get back on a plan that includes the Max benefit.
  • Sharing few links that could help you with troubleshooting - If you are having trouble signing in to HBOMAX

What wireless and/or internet plan do you have?

I have "Unlimited &More(SM) Premium" which is listed as a qualifying plan here.

It's also listed as a benefit on the myAT&T app

Have you activated your Max benefit?
As mentioned in the original post there is no tile on my account page to activate the benefit

I had been using HBO Max and Max for several years and all of a sudden it won’t log in. 

I talked to AT&T support via chat and they said it was a technical problem and it should be fixed in 24 hours… that was 48 hours ago.

@ATTHelp I'm having a similar issue. Max is listed in my account (snip below; phone app, which isn't shown, lists "Max Eligible", just like the screenshots above) but there is no activation tile on the myAT&T account page (plan type: Unlimited &More(SM) Premium that has been active for years). I tried to talk to a service representative but was told that even though it is listed that the perk doesn't exist. Can you confirm this/help with this issue?
