3 months free for Flickr pro account

[jultou]

I know there are couple of Flickr Pro users on this forum.

I thought you my be interrested to know that Flickr is now offering 3 months free for a Pro account.

The good thing is that they extend 3 months existing pro accounts!

It's only some of the pro features it unlocks such as access to 200+ photos and original photo downloads. If you want to see the stats of your photos for example then you still have to pay.

I do not think that is quite correct. I have their 'pro' account and after I clicked on the offer and accepted it I was told that my next payment will be shifted by 3 months - that sounds to me like a full 3 months of pro account for free.

But maybe for those who do not have the pro account the amount of features with this offer is limited.

I have the Pro account. When I activated the 3 month extension ALL of the features were extended not just some...

 

[kdemas]

I extended and all features are included. Smart move by Flickr in a competitive marketplace.

 

[punkromance]

So yeah if you were already pro then it seems it extends it, otherwise it just gives you certain perks.

Either way, I'm not complaining.

I got it too yesterday. It just extends your billing cycle 3 monts which is cool. No need to make a big thing out of this.😀 Thank you flickr.🙂

Don't like Flickr....
Others have these perks also from time to time, so, it isn't that special. It for sure isn't enough to lure me away from SmugMug!

I accepted gift but got nothing. Probably because I've disabled automatic renewal of subscription (don't like automatic payments neither in skype or everywhere else). If I stay, that's not because of gift, if I go gift isn't stopping me.

Hi,
Aren't videos limited to 90 seconds?

I am not on auto renewal and accepted, extended by three months.

I have no idea, it was a copy/paste straight from Flickr.

The "catch" is that if you are not on auto-renewal, accepting the gift activates it - at least that is my understanding.

That is fine by me, I was not on auto-renewal and I am happy to take three months in exchange for activating that.

True, the new App for iPhone look very interesting to me so far. A huge leap compared to the old one.

It was about time for Flickr to do something with Pinterest and Instagram that offer lot of features and nice presentation.

Now I hope that they would work with Abode for a better integration in Lightroom.

this is taken from the first post in that link above:

Howdy Flickrverse!

Update from Staff (Sat Dec 22 18:10 2012 GMT-8):
...
- We introduced auto-renewal on January 25, 2012. If you purchased Flickr Pro on or after that date, you are on auto-renewal. If you purchased Flickr Pro before that date, you are NOT on auto-renewal. If you do not wish to be on auto-renewal, simply cancel your subscription prior to its end date. Accepting the Holiday Gift will not sign you up for auto-renewal.

Of course the more comments I read, the more confusing it became. 😉

For Pro users it extends your suscription. For non-pros it gives you some extra perks, stats not being one of them. My Pro account expired a few months ago and I haven't renewed it yet, so this is a nice gift from Flickr.

I like Flickr and I hope it gets more love from Yahoo.

Auto-added for me.

Yes, the new APP is a HUGE leap over the old one. If you had previously been turned off by it -try the new one!
