> What's the difference between a monthly subscription and a yearly subscription that you can cancel monthly? Either way you pay for however many months you choose to have it? It sounds like the difference is that you need to fork out the cash for a whole year up front
The difference is in the process mostly. They make it a process that requires a physical address, you need to return the plastic card etc. It's something that you can absolutely do if you live there, but it's something that is inconvenient if you do a two month summer vacation. You can pay month by month, so the upfront cash is not the issue.
- Aachen 4y agoThat... doesn't sound like a benefit? Why be surprised they didn't go for this? Guess I read a meaning into that comment (that it could have been better by changing a technicality about billing period) that wasn't there.
