Best time to switch from paid monthly to prepaid (annually).

I'm currently on the "All Apps" Adobe CC plan which I am paying monthly.

My next payment is due today (renewal October 2017) however I want to switch to prepaid.

i.e. I want to prepay for the year instead of paying monthly.

I've followed these instructions but I cannot find the "Switch Plan" link.

I currently have the following notice on my account:

I want to update my payment details but I don't want the monthly charge to process because I want to switch to prepaid.

How can I achieve this?

Correct answer kglad

I fully understand the nature of the payment plan (but thanks no less for your patience).

I want to switch form paying monthly to paying annually (I understand my contract is annual).

An early termination penalty seems somewhat outrageous considering I'm not actually terminating early. Not only am I continuing my custom, I'm offering to pay for one year in advance. Furthermore, switching from paying monthly to paying annually would actually extend my contract by three months.

Is it not in Adobe's interest to secure payment for a year in advance rather than on a monthly basis? Is it not in Adobe's interest to extend my contract? In any industry, is it not poor practice to penalize customers that offer to pay in advance?

This seems more like an unnecessarily rigid billing system limitation. Simply put, Adobe should be able to systematically allow monthly payers to seamlessly switch to annual payment.

MY QUESTION:

I'd still like to avail of an answer to my question:

Best time to switch from paid monthly to prepaid (annually).

When is the best time to switch from paying monthly to paying annually? Given that I don't want to pay a termination penalty simply to pay Adobe in advance, must I wait until my current contract ends in October 2017?


i know it sounds reasonable, but i'm not sure adobe will see it that way.  usually the procedure to change plans, is to terminate one and then start another.

to do both simultaneously so you don't get a penality (if that's possible) would require help from adobe support.
