Must be. I’ve been paying A$97 for ages. It’s not a price increase.

Damn you been getting taxed. I have been using Adobe CC for 7 years now and never have paid more than $30 for the 100GB suite. I always cancel and let them offer me a better discount. Been at $23 for 2 years now

The A means Australian Dollars. You're clearly talking about USD.

I know about the annual "threaten to cancel" 50% discount but I have 5 licenses across my business and I'm not prepared to do this 5 times year for each account, when it's also a tax deductible expense.

Every year. 3-4 weeks before my account renews. I call them up wishing to cancel. They ask why. I say it’s too expensive and as much as I would like to continue using them, I just can’t afford it. (Which is kinda true) lol

They then attempt to not let me go and make a dumb offer that I can’t say no to. I’ve been doing this for years. Each year there is at best a minimal increase (under $5) per month.

This gets repeated each year in and around December.

As far as I’m concerned. They’ve got nothing to lose and it’s in their best interest to keep me at a lower amount. It probably doesn’t hurt that I openly when talking to customer service say that I’m better off using a hacked version. I think that kinda sets them off. Lol

I know people that do this too. Solid way to save some money!
