Annual Photography plan via Amazon

I've used the photography plan for a few years now and I'm happy with it. I used to pay monthly through Adobe but last year I purchased an annual subscription through Amazon because it worked out quite a bit cheaper. With all the talk of possible price rises, I'm considering purchasing another annual photography plan through Amazon even though my current subscription doesn't expire until December.

So when you buy these plans through Amazon, they send you a code to redeem when you want to activate the plan. My question is, is there a time limit in which to redeem the code and activate the plan? I'm only planning to buy one years worth of subscription in advance (to be redeemed in December) but could you buy two or three years subscriptions in advance to guard against price rises?

Thanks.

So just to be on the safe side, I went on to the Adobe support chat line and asked them to confirm that if I purchase and redeem another 12 month subscription, it would be added to my existing subscription. He said no. If I activated the subscription today, it would start today and not in December when my current subscription ends.

He also mentioned the redemption code for the Amazon prepaid annual plan having an expiry date but I cannot see any mention of this on Amazon's UK website. Anyone have an idea how long the expiry date is? Thanks.


Please see Help with redemption codes

If you redeem with the same Adobe ID

If you already have the same plan or product, and redeem with the same Adobe ID: 

  • If your payment plan is Annual plan, paid monthly, Adobe stops charging your credit card after you redeem the code. After the redemption code subscription term expires, Adobe resumes charging your credit card.
  • If your payment plan is Annual plan, prepaid, the redemption code term is added to the end of the paid subscription term.

Therefore, if you purchased another redemption code for the same product from Amazon, you could redeem it using the same ID and the new term would be added to the end of the current paid subscription term.

Thanks

Hi,

Redemption codes have an expiration date and needs to be redeemed before expiration .If you buy 3 or 5 codes and redeem them at the same time ,you'll have 3 or 5 years subscription on your account .I don't know if there is a limit number of redeemed codes but I'm sure that it works with 5 .

You can buy a code now and redeemed now ,it will extend your subscription until December 2020 .

Thanks for that. The only problem I'm going to have is the same problem I had at last renewal time. Because I started on a monthly plan and then changed to an annual plan via redemption code, Adobe still consider that I'm eventually going to go back to a monthly plan at some point. They say they will automatically take my next monthly payment on December 8th 2019 when my annual subscription expires. If I buy another annual subscription its going to say that they will automatically take payment on December 8th 2020. I wish they would just accept that I don't want to go back to a monthly plan and stop the threat of automatic payment.
