Not if it’s a genuine subscription with re-up (but you would find out quickly if it is a scam).
But the average dope at Guitar Center or similar is unlikely to know what they are doing. The easiest way of getting a “bargain” upgrade is for somebody to sell you the $99 renewal not the $299 reup+renewal. And then good luck getting a refund.
If one reseller is offering a deal it’s likely they all are as they likely come from Avid. I would stick with larger resellers like Vintage King or Sweetwater. Who have staff who should know what they are doing.
There is an advantage of buying online through Avid with future automatic renewals being easier to just do. But if you need to talk to folks etc, the big resellers May be better.
