Hello, I'm a new MobileMe user, just bought a subscription to MM and have been enjoying it so far. :)

I was curious if there is anyway to get longer subscription periods? Is there anyway to get longer like two year, three year, or a lifetime subscription?

They do not sell a multiyear subscription, but what you can do is buy the boxed version of MM when you see a good price (there was recently a $42 deal on Amazon), then go to me.com/activate and enter the renewal code from inside the box. When I received the box I just entered the code and it extended my MM subscription one year. I suppose you could do this right after you sign up and that would give you almost two years covered. I have not tried to stack a third renewal so I don't know if that would work.

So the subscription periods are cumulative then? For example if I have 45 days left on my subscription and enter the code I will get 365 + 45 days of MM? If that's the case I wonder if I could buy three or four copies of MM and enter all the codes one after the other.

Yes, they are cumulative. I have only ever bought/added one at a time. I don't know if you could buy say three more and add them all at once.
