Apple Sending Emails Letting Apple TV+ Subscribers Know About Extended Trial Access

[MacRumors]

Apple this evening began sending out emails to Apple TV+ subscribers who have a trial subscription to let them know about a planned three month trial extension.

We're giving you extra time to discover the latest Apple Originals and catch up on shows returning for a second season. You don't have to do anything -- just keep watching for free until February 2021.

It's been an incredible debut year. Audiences are loving the Emmy Award winner The Morning Show, the blockbuster WWII thriller Greyhound, the heartwarming comedy Ted Lasso, and so much more. Be on the lookout for new premieres, hit movies like On the Rocks, the eye-opening docuseries Tiny World, and Season 2 of Servant, For All Mankind, and Peabody winner Dickinson.

First announced last week, the trial extension applies to those who purchased a device beginning in September 2019 and signed up for a free year of service when Apple TV+ launched on November 1, 2019.

The first Apple TV+ subscribers who activated their year of access on that date were set to have their trial periods expire at the end of October or the beginning of November, but Apple is now extending those expiration dates until February.

Apple is also providing credits to subscribers who pay for an Apple TV+ annual plan or Apple TV+ monthly plan, offering them $4.99 per month for each month through February.

‌Apple TV‌+ adopters who signed up for their free year of service after a device purchase between November 2019 and January 2020 will benefit from the promotion that Apple is providing, with those subscriptions now expiring later than expected. Those who signed up for a free year after January 31, 2020 will not benefit because their free trials will already extend beyond the promotion limits.

According to Apple, the promotion is being offered so that Apple TV+ subscribers have more time to check out the latest Apple original content. Apple says that new trial renewal dates will show up under Manage Subscriptions in the Apple TV app soon.

[jz0309]

Received that email like 20min ago... I’m going to take the 3 months but will cancel. Not a whole lot on there that makes it worth to me...

 

[Maconplasma]

I won't be getting that email until December.

If you've already cancelled Months ago, then why would Apple send you an extension..you are CANCELLED in their system!

You should have waited, Lol

I cancelled and they still sent me an email saying they were extending it.

I cancelled it months ago because nothing on there interested me.

I'll check at a later date and see if they actually extended it or kept me cancelled.

I believe Apple cancels the trial as soon as you cancel, so it seems like there wouldn't be much to extend as the trial would already be done with.

3 months? Email should've stated its free from now on.........

 

[Tech198]

Apple's really pulling their weight to try and get people to stay with their new service. No matter the free period, Apple needs to know users are the ones who decide,, not Apple, and offering a free lunch may not quench their appetite any better.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Apple One? It may be delayed due to Fitness+ and so they do not want people waiting for Apple One to have a lapse in service.

I certainly would have canceled next week in preparation to re-subscribe via Apple One.

 

[tharitm]

Apple must have forgotten to put my email address in their user group

mine must be in the same group as yours. No email. expiring November 9th

 

[OriginalMacRat]

Mine still shows expiring on Nov. 1

Mine still shows expiring on Nov 3.

 

[travis64]

No email
For me

 

[ikramerica]

Mine got canceled through a bug, then I tried to log in and it subscribed me, then I didn’t know I was paying for something that was free. Noticed after 2 months. So they have a way to challenge the charge, and refunded but it’s still canceled. Can’t figure out who to contact to actually get my free trial back.

They do. I've found it when I canceled my Apple TV+ trial. I presumed the actual cancelation will take place at the end of the 12 month period, but it was canceled right away.

 

[xander49x]

I received my email, I like some of the shows but I am a binge person so I don't watch Apple TV, if they would release all the episodes at once like Netflix then they would have a shot at getting people to stay with them.

 

[x-evil-x]

Some people don’t know how to set reminders in their phone to cancel things. Most the time anyway if you cancel you still get till the end of the original date

 

[swiftRabbit]

I guess it's their way of making us forget that the 1 year once of free Apple TV per device can only be redeemed once...

 

[jz0309]

Mine still shows expiring on Nov 3.

my subscription still says Nov 1, but below is from the email they sent, so it will be updated at some point

You’ll see your new renewal date in Manage Subscriptions soon.

Yes a big warning box pops up telling you this. You literally have to click OK on this warning box so..

So far no email and no extension of my free trial. It renews the first of next month. If I get the three months that’s great but if not I’ll survive paying a few dollars from Apple TV+

 

[DotCom2]

I guess this means Apple One is delayed?

 

[katbel]

I won't be getting that email until December.

I guess me too, I started on dec 3rd...let’s see
