Disney + early adopter discount

[hcocal]

I'll start by saying I love Disney +, but I came here to see if anyone else had this experience. In the wake of all of Disney's money grabs lately I realized something about my Disney + subscription. I was an early adopter of Disney + & purchased the 3 year plan as soon as it became available toting a FREE YEAR with the pre-purchase of $169.99. This equates to $4.72 per month versus the $6.99 per month Disney + was advertising for the monthly plan. A month later an email came through to bundle Disney + & Hulu + ESPN which I immediately got on board with. What I didn't realize at the time was that doing this meant I would be paying exactly what a new subscriber TODAY pays for the bundle which is $13.99 a month ($4.72 for Disney +, $5.99 for Hulu & $3.28 for tax). I will pay the same as someone who chose to sign up for the Disney + bundle without pre-purchasing and it's leaving a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I feel dooped a bit that I didn't realize that adding the bundle meant wiping out that "free year". When I called Disney + they kept indicating the "discount" they where applying per month (for the 3 year subscription I had already pre-paid for). Oh Disney, you got me. I now pay the same for Disney + & Hulu + ESPN as Jane Do does who signed up yesterday. Sigh.

This is why I just have hulu separate. They can only run 1 discount at a time and the pre purchase is a discount .. its stupid indeed. I wonder if oyu complain more if they will flat out refund you the difference.

This kind of money grab seems universal to me. Okay I'm 63 years old but....... customer appreciation was lost when we started accepting poor quality across the board. Mega companies dont care if customers aren't happy. I dont call to complain any more.
