Full research notes
Tidal's support article "Upcoming Changes to TIDAL Subscriptions" (updated March 5, 2024) says: "Starting March 4, 2024, we'll no longer offer Military/First Responder new discounts. Existing TIDAL customers with Military/First Responder will continue receiving the discounted rate through June 10, 2024." Those who stay after that get the full catalog "at $10.99 USD/month". The US pricing page lists First Responder and Military plans at $5.99/month (HiFi) and $11.99/month (HiFi Plus) in the March 3, 2024 capture; the April 4, 2024 capture lists only Individual, Family and Student plans. Both discounts were US-only and required verified eligibility.
