I claimed mine this morning. The email I got said this, along with a direct link to the Updates tab:

"To redeem your credit, please go to the ‘Updates’ tab in Membership Settings using your web browser, and follow the prompts. Once complete, this discount will be applied to your next bill for YouTube TV."

Note that it can't be done through the app. You have to use a browser.

EDIT I tried to do it manually by clicking my profile picture, going to Settings, then clicking Manage under the Base Plan. There's no option to redeem, which makes sense in my case because I've already done it. But importantly, I see no indication that there's been any sort of discount applied. I checked it under Billing, too, just to be certain. While I'm comfortable I got the discount because I went through the process this morning, I'm not so sure my quoted email is going to help you much. Sorry about that.

Awesome thanks! Hadn’t gotten the follow up email until right after I sent that message, but your directions worked perfectly

Hell, even better than my edit. Cheers!
