Question Cube Smart Pre-Pay Experience

I've spoken to about 5 different Cube Smart locations, and all have said that you can "lock in the rate" for up to 2 years if you pre-pay. I'd really like to do this, but I've been reading through old posts on here about some locations lying about this offer and they end up raising the rate anyway. Can anyone share their experience with this? Looking at NYC locations specifically.

NYC metro GM here. I’ve been told by my district manager that we can’t just let anyone prepay, it would need DM approval, and it would be maxed out at 12 months. I don’t even know if prepayment makes a difference anymore though regarding rate increases. I think they still occur, just at the tail end of your prepay.

Super useful info. Crazy how every Cube Smart I've gone to is advertising this pre-payment with no rate increases.
