    oh new offer on Clubcard until 20th Sept - £3 of vouchers for 3 months subscription, valid until 20th March.

    Current 3 month sub runs to end of November so looks like I can "buy" 2 vouchers to give me 6 months for 6 quid? 

    It doesn't say which level of subscription it is - I assume it would be premium when those changes come in??

    Well it won't because until November 1 there is only one tier.

    yeah, but the vouchers are valid until March
  • Morning all

    So with the impending hike in the Disney+ subscription next week, I was wondering what was the best way to go around with using a 3 month voucher from Tesco AND buying an annual sub. 

    I know some subs “pause” if you take on start a new sub - so how would it work in this instance? Use the Tesco voucher first and then buy an annual pass, meaning the balance of the 3 month voucher will continue after the annual sub has finished?

  • Hi hi just read MSE article on price hike which says if you current subscription ends before 6 December you can renew now to avoid price hike. However I can’t see an option to renew now only (ie early) only to cancel. Is there a way to renew early?
  • Does this also apply if you are paying for Disney through Sky?

    I am looking for this answer too. There is only a plan change option but no renewing options...

    With Disney+ it renews automatically.  You don't renew it yourself.  So if your period ends on (for argument's sake) Dec 5, you get the existing rate for another year.  If it ends on December 7 you'll pay the new rate.
  • My real issue with this is that Disney+ was also very borderline in value terms anyway, pretty much everyone I know managed to get it through various offers which meant that it cost around £50-60 for an annual subscription, now, to get the same quality of service is is now going to cost £109.90, so a doubling of cost for the same thing and at that price it really does not represent value for money.

    So the article is wrong then.

    OP sounds like the easiest way would be to cancel the renewal of your existing subscription and take out a new one to get the cheaper rate.
