Humble Bundle Monthly for $10

Pub Envelope on 30/10/2018 - 13:22

Hi guys,

I purchased this current months Humble Bundle (Warner Brothers ft. Batman: Akrham games and Bastion etc) and noticed there was an option to subscribe and get $2 off next months if I did. I decided not to at the time, and did not select a subscription and just purchased that month. After a bit I perused the revealed games and now think it's a good buy as the first complete season of Hitman is included in the bundle, as well as 7 days to die, which those two are enough for the price tag.

Upon entering the Humble Bundle website, I get a pop up (while I'm not logged in), stating:

"GET 10% OFF HUMBLE MONTHLY

Subscribe for $10/mo and get Hollow Knight, HITMAN: The Complete First Season, and 7 Days to Die (MSRP: $99.97) now, with more to come!"

So I've clicked 'Get Humble Monthly", however the payment page is still showing $12 a month (as I want a month to month subscription). The advertisement says "Subscribe for $10/month" in black and white, and there's no note or sub-clause to state that it's a once off deal or anything. I have found on their FAQ that it is for New subscribers, which even though I have an account with them, I believe I am as I currently do not have a subscription? I have subscribed once before by accident 12+ months ago, but I still don't feel like they can advertise it for $10/month without any annotation stating terms and conditions re: the discount? I feel like this is misleading af, and wondered if I am to purchase it for the $12/mo, can I dispute it to a higher power if they don't want to know about it? (which I think they will do exactly that)

    Sorry, thought this was Ozbargain.

    Just trying to get some information regarding authorities that govern these sort of issues.

      Hahaha don't sweat it. We do like our bargains, but I think there've been previous posts on Humble Bundle subscriptions and from memory there was a (slight?) consensus that generally subscriptions for goods sight-unseen isn't a good idea. In any case, I think to answer your question, this might be the issue:

      I have found on their FAQ that it is for New subscribers

      You're not, because:

      I have subscribed once before by accident 12+ months ago

      And:

      if I am to purchase it for the $12/mo, can I dispute it to a higher power if they don't want to know about it? (which I think they will do exactly that)

      How's it misleading? Before you pay, it shows you the $12/month price. YOU KNOW that you have to pay $12/month. You want to go ahead, sign up with that price, and then…. complain that you didn't know about the price?

        Well, I'd be signing up because I saw the advert that it's $10/month. Signing up for the $12/month initially but be expecting some sort of $2 refund or credit ? Not entirely sure.

        Ahh I wasn't aware of past posts around this sort of thing, apologies!

        Thanks for your input

    please use a referral (from any humble bundle link in ozbargain) when you do sign up. through someone using the random referral, i was able to get $8 credit. the power of this community is stronger than a million billion eneloops.

    Where you able to find out if the new or existing status renews after not subscribing after awhile.

    I subscribed for the September monthly as I had a $5 off coupon but will cancel after this month (not getting the October monthly).
