Free Month

[Freis968]

As of yesterday I had 341 days left in my MobileMe Account. I just checked and now I have 371 Days. So, my FREE month or 30 days has been added to my account.

Anyone else?

 

[Daveoc64]

I really don't get how Apple is applying this free month.

Mine expires in 331 days, yet I have had no extension.

Logically, I should have got it before you (if what Apple said was to be trusted).

EDIT: Should add that I never got the apology e-mail.

 

[Freis968]

Well, don't feel bad, I never received either email from Apple in regard to an apology or about receiving a free month. Now my friend who is a .Mac/MobileMe subscriber had not renewed his account yet, as it did not expire until December of this year, received both emails! I upgraded before him and even downloaded all the MobileMe updates and he didn't and he got those two emails from Apple.

I guess this is why I got my free month before him.

Ah, who knows what they are doing over there at Apple anymore.

I just went into MobileMe account info to change my iDisk vs Mail settings...I realized I had my mail set too high and I noticed this.

Check out the picture.

Now that is an interesting find.

I hadn't seen anyone post this before, I just assumed that it was done silently.

Anybody else seen this in their account?

 

[Pooshka]

Yep, got mine today too.

Nothing new here. I never received the email from Apple, and haven't gotten the 30 day extension either.

Never received an email but my account now has the 30 days added to it.

 

[koobcamuk]

same for me...

 

[cyclingplatypus]

I received the email but have yet to receive the extension...

 

[IgnatiusTheKing]

I got the email and the extension, but mine doesn't say "(30 days free)"

I never got an email but got my free month when I had the 90 day trial active. Although, as soon as I paid for the service, I lost the 90 day trial AND free month. My account expires exactly 1 year from the first day I signed up for the trial.

Personally, I think that's pretty low class on Apple's part.

The trial is 60 days. So if you had a 90 day trial they gave you 30 days extra (like they said they would).

or pretty dumb on yours?

If you have a free trial, that allows full access, you don't pay until it's up

I agree completely, though the trial isn't "full access" (it's just really close).

If I am reading this correctly, if you started your trial on July 15 and you ended the trial on Sep 15 (only use 60 days) then your annual renewal would be July 15, 2009. Meaning your new subscription is for only 10 months?

So the free trial is really just a "delay" in paying your subscription (assuming you decide to become a subscriber). The start date is the day your started your trial, no matter when you actually start the subscription.

So if you are going to subscribe (for sure) then it really does not matter when you activate.

I believe that everybody will be receiving a free month for the inconveniences at launch, and just as they had the launch problems, they are probably having issues giving everybody a free month.

Yes. I just checked and I have the same. It shows July 17 and (30 days free) when my previous renewal date was in June.

 

[HLdan]

Same here, mine was ending Sept 30th. Now it says expiration date Oct 31st (30 days free).

 

[Daveoc64]

No e-mail, but I got the extension:

 

[MattZani]

I Have 30 days left on my free trial (Looks like it started the trial again when upgrading to MobileMe, i started the trial probably about june 25th, the day i got my MBP.

 

[arkitect]

Excellent.
Got mine as well…

 

[cyclingplatypus]

Just checked, got mine sometime in the last 24 hours

 

[Clix Pix]

Yep, got mine. My subscription will now renew in November rather than October. Fine with me!

 

[Morod]

Yup!
Never did get an email from Apple, but I just checked my Account at MM and the 30 day free extension is there!
