How do I switch from my free trial to a paid plan?

How do I switch from my free trial to a paid plan?

There are two ways your free trial becomes a paid membership. Either way, your username, password and newsreader settings stay exactly the same.

1. Automatically when your trial ends

You don't need to do anything. When your 14-day trial ends, your paid plan starts automatically and your first monthly payment is taken, using the card or PayPal account you signed up with. Your dashboard shows the date next to Trial ends.

2. Start your paid plan early

If you've used your 15 GB of trial data, or you'd simply like full access right away, you can start your paid plan today:

  1. Log in to the members area.
  2. Click Activate my plan now on your dashboard.
  3. If you pay by card, click the Pay & activate now button (it shows your plan's price). We charge your saved card, and your paid month starts today.
  4. If you pay with PayPal, approve your new subscription in the PayPal window. We cancel your free-trial subscription for you.

Your plan's full allowance is available right away, and your next payment is due one month later.

Would you like a different plan?

Your trial becomes the plan you chose when you signed up. Once your paid plan has started, you can switch plans at any time from Change Plan. See How do I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Decided not to continue?

Simply cancel before your trial ends, and you won't be charged. See How do I cancel my account?
