Black Friday sale — no month-long trial this year?

Sort:

I'm just wondering if this is it for this year or if there is a possibility of a month-long trial being offered on Friday. Anybody remember how it worked last year?

The Black Friday offer is the 7 day trial with 50% off the first term of the subscription.

I see that. I see that's what's offered now, in advance of Black Friday. I'm just asking if that will be the ONLY Black Friday offer or if, last year, the month trial was offered on the Friday, for example. Wondering if it's worth waiting until Friday, if there might be better to come.

That's the only offer from now until it's over. There's nothing different on the day.

So, just to be clear an annual Diamond membership costs around 40 GBP annually using this discount and the Platinum membership (which would be actually enough for me) is still just shy of 30 GBP. This is still pretty expensive. I was actually looking into it right now but shocked when I calculated the end price. I am very surprised people actually pay these prices, considering the alternatives out there. Would there be a way of reducing the costs by another 50% ?

No, you wouldn't be able to get it for 50% less than the offer. Also, to note, the 50% is for the first term and at the end of the year it would renew at full subscription cost.

If that's not a supported option in the payment screen, you wouldn't.

Yes, that's what I thought. Not to worry, I think in this case I keep on playing for free and continue using mainly Lichess.org for the most part. Thanks Martin

does it only apply on new accounts?

No but if and account already has Diamond it wouldn't be available. I'm not sure if upgrades from gold/platinum have the same option.

I missed the black friday deal,.. can I get the deal again ?

What did I misunderstand here? A few days ago, I thought a one-year platinum membership, at 50% off, was going to work out to being around 40 or 50 dollars (Canadian). I was sure that's what it said. Now it's saying 50% comes to $8.34 / month when billed yearly. Were prices just doubled or did I misread the price last week?

If you cancel automatic renewal, you should but I'm not entirely familiar how that works, while you're on the trial. So, if that's what you're wanting to do you probably should wait until it converts into a paid membership.

I missed the Black Friday offer. Is there another way to get the offer?

Is the Black Friday offer still on? I really wanted it, but I missed out. Any other way to get it now?

It was available until December 6th.

I don't think it's possible to still get the offer
