[Member suni…] Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 hi My VIP subscription in Smule is expiring shortly; last year I had cancelled auto renewal. My question is that I can a) renew VIP now at Smule website which is being offered at Rs 1000 for 1 year b) I also have a credit card spl offer that offers at much lower price (90% less) - that looks like a new VIP subscription how do I ensure that while renewing my earlier songs access is not removed? Also is there a risk that in the lower priced offer , it will be treated as a new subcription and I will lose all my old data / contacts? please advise thanks sunil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member open…] Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I can’t comment on that special offer. I don’t understand who is offering that and how. But in general: Your songs are tied to your account. As long as you keep using your account, you have access to your songs and contacts. It is not relevant if you renew or start a new subscription, if you change between phones or platforms or anything like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Smule offer 90% discount for using your credit Card. That itself should Ring alarm bells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member duoj…] Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 If I'm not mistaken, I think sunil is referring to the VIP offer on smule.com if you click the "Get VIP" button on the top right of the screen. That takes you to this page: https://www.smule.com/en/s/billing/pricing/v121 If you click on the "Unlock Deal" button, you'll come to this page... The price, billed annually ($39.99 USD) is pretty much the same price as if you renew. Sorry, since I'm in the US, it's showing USD. It's not 90% discounted from the price you get on smule.com, but they're saying it's up to 90% off the price you'd pay if you subscribed through Google Play or The App Store. I'm not sure how they came up with the 90% number, but it definitely is much cheaper to subscribe through smule.com, plus, you can use your account on both Apple and Android devices. This is just marketing to hook new subscribers. But I believe you're right in thinking that this is only for new subscribers. It'll require you to create a new account, which means you have to start from scratch. But since the price is the same to renew, you may as well renew your current VIP subscription and keep your recordings, and everything else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been paying Just Aud$30 per annum for last four years since I joined Smule. It is now Obvious that Smule wants New Members to join Direct through Smule Web Site as opposed to paying a lot more through Apply and Google who are probably making more money than Smule per membership. However Smules Contracts with apple and Google may be the real obstacle. This is a very Fair Move but 90% discount existing VIP members can understand it is False Advertising but new comers will have no clue about what existing VIP members are shelling out which is the same as the 90% discounted Price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Member open…] Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Well, with renewals, you are usually locked into one price. When the provider increases the price later, they will often only apply the higher price to new customers. So, a difference between a long-time continuous subscription and the current price for a new subscription wouldn’t be a surprise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Smule since 2016 but I only started using the Smule.com 3 years ago and I have a couple of Smule accounts and the price were all the same $59.59 but this year they increased to AUD$65.59.

[Member Duet…] Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 To lock in the price, you have to keep your subscription continuously on auto-renewal. Before I canceled my VIP, I was paying $39.99 USD for a year of Smule. But if I want to resubscribe for a year, the new price is $49.99 USD. If you let your subscription lapse at some point, that might explain how the rate you are being charged is different from someone else in the same country. Otherwise, I have no idea 😂 Maybe the 90% figure is comparing what you would pay directly through the Smule website for a year subscription versus paying weekly or monthly through AppStore or Google. It can be quite expensive if you don’t choose the yearly subscription. The Smule website is offering me a year of VIP for $39.99 USD, or $15.99 per month billed monthly. So you can save by signing up directly through Smule (although it’s not 90%) and if you click on “Unlock Deal” on the Smule website, you can see the offer.

[Member Duet…] Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Sorry, just had another thought and I can’t seem to edit my post above. If someone signed up for VIP before you did, they could be grandfathered in at a lower rate due to the price increasing over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member _Ram…] Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Aud $30 per annum is what I might spend for Macdonald Breakfast for two. so No big Deal and yes I am enjoying the Grand Fathers Rate and I can use both my Samsung 7 for Book marking invites and messaging and I Pad dedicated for singing at nights. Advantage of being a Senior Citizen, plus who knows Smule might be Considering me as an esteemed VIP member 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
