You also might end up paying more if you are on a rate or special that is no longer offered.

Im not sure if customer loyalty matters at all anymore but it seems pointless to cancel a subscription that you plan to renew right away at the same rate. If you want to try to get a discount you just need to contact the retention department and say your circumstances have changed and you are considering leaving but wanted to see if there were any savings you qualify for before making a final decision

that’s fair. i was thinking for things like netflix or disney +, not cell service. things with a set price.

i’m doing it to see what i have out there. too many things on auto pay.

he prob means someone else posted this already and you (possibly unintentionally/accidentally) post this

LPT: CHECK THE RATE/DEAL BEFORE YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO SEE IF ITS ACTUALLY A BETTER DEAL

Honestly I think a better tip is to do a subscription audit and decide what you aren’t getting your moneys worth out of and canceling those. Like maybe you subscribed to a streaming service to watch a certain series and that season is over and might not be back for a year. Just canceling everything for the sake of starting over seems pointless to me. If the end goal is to decide what’s worth keeping do an audit. Keep what you use, ditch what you don’t and see if you can renegotiate the ones that you are on the fence about.

agreed. except the yelling part.

agreed.
