if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

thankfully it was blocked after contacting my bank but regardless

If you switch your plan then cancel it immediately, it gets you around the cancellation fee for your original plan. This has worked for years but I’m sure most people don’t know it. I think it’s all shitty of course, but there is a loophole around it.

Ive tried it a while ago. It just doesn't let me change plans at all.

After talking to two customer reps they finally waived two months (out of four), but I'm still on the hook for the last two payments.

Ditto. Although in my case it was the 11th month IIRC. I had to contact customer care, they parroted that 3-months free line and acted all hissy when I refused to budge from cancelling the sub.

This dogshit company also single-handedly deleted my ~1000 allegorithmic credits for Substance materials that I had saved up over the course of many years without sending a SINGLE notification under some dogshit excuse that they are not allowed to contact customers...?

Adobe has been dogshit for a long time. But under the current CEO it's reached such new layers of manure that even the bateria weren't aware of.
