Possible to switch Premium from monthly to annual?

[kay_8888]

I signed up for one month of Premium to try out BGA. I like it and want to switch to the annual plan, but that doesn’t seem to be an option. I can only extend my monthly membership. I’ve even tried canceling the monthly plan, but the only option is to restart it — the annual option is just gone.

Does anyone know how to switch to annual?

I think somewhere around those pages, you can cancel your automatic monthly subscription (in which you are currently in).
So at the end of your Premium Month, you will become a Non-Premium user.

2. When the Premium Month ends, you can simply subscribe to a whole year, then, with the Annual Subscription that you regret not having selected in the first place.

I am not sure changing your current monthly subscription for a whole annual one, would be a reasonable or possible idea (not only for you, but the idea as it is).
It seems a bit complicated, bank-wise.

Okay, I suspected that might be the best option. Thank you for your reply!

Welcome.
Just be sure you are Unsubscribed from the Current Monthly Plan, at the end of your Current Premium Membership; in order to not get Automatically Resubscribed with a Monthly Plan.
