Re: Sweetwater PT|Renewal 2018 Discount .. ?
Avid just had a 20% off sale in September. I think they time it based on how revenues are shaping up for the quarter/year. Last year it was in December, though it may have started at Thanksgiving. The renewal extends 1 year from your current expiration date, so always worthwhile if you plan on keeping the PT plan.

Re: Sweetwater PT|Renewal 2018 Discount .. ?
Avid has done this 20% off promotion multiple times over the last year. Black Friday, then again at Christmas, then I believe Presidents Day in February, and then again around Fathers Day. It will definitely come around again, most likely coming up for the holidays.

PT Ultimate renew currently $319.20 at Sweetwater.
Now just to find out what Avid are going to offer for their included Black Friday deal+discount. I got burned last year by upgrading too early when avid included the complete plugin bundle with upgrades.

Wait. What? I would have thought a year is a year. Purchase a renewal now and it just adds 12 months to whenever your current plan ends. Is that not the case?

Re: Sweetwater PT|Renewal 2018 Discount .. ?
Thats the way it has behaved for me. No matter when I input the code, I get one year added to the current expiry date. If the opposite were true, you would only dare renew on the exact day or you might loose a few days every year, so to speak.
I guess you can buy the code whenever it is on sale and save it for later though, but I have never tried that. Mine is up october 13 or so, so I have never caught any sales...

Re: Sweetwater PT|Renewal 2018 Discount .. ?
Will pick another up but isn't this just another slightly annoying Avid thing? Last week wasted money buying as soon as I'd found out i was in the grace period, (no notification from Avid) and if i'd left it i'd have saved.
Really us long time customers deserve better, not just scrabbling around for a deal. How about loyalty bonuses, like no claims discount on insurance for us on what, maybe 3 years of renewals over multiple rigs? |

But if you stick to a "relative" (year-to-year) update (read: pay) schedule to coincide with Avid's sales, you've effectively moved your renewal date other than the very first one (from a financial point of view)

Re: Sweetwater PT|Renewal 2018 Discount .. ?
It is. Last renewal I made was a couple of weeks before expiry. End date remained the same apart from the year which changed to 2019.

Re: Sweetwater PT|Renewal 2018 Discount .. ?
I am seeing 20% black Friday discounts for Avid products, including support plan renewal up now at Sweetwater and Vintage King.
Nice that they are doing it again this year.
