20%? That's a bit weird!I wonder how they come up with the different discount amounts ...
Same as above @AMcUK 17% do they make this up as they go along?

It’s really a case of knowing when to bite if you intend to carry on, at the end of the day if you take up there offer to stay PRO it works out at 74pence a week , for unlimited storage . Yet most here will think nothing of spending 3 to 4K on a camera body
It works out 74 pence per week so that I can post my pictures here instead of having the site* host them. My 'unlimited' storage is about 1.2GB, which is a very small deal indeed. To *me* I value Flickr at £25 per year, although if I were offered the £33 deal I'd probably renew.
Mine expires today, have you had any photos culled?My subscription expired nearly two weeks ago and I still haven't had any offers to renew. Maybe they have stopped with discounts
Mine expires today, have you had any photos culled?
Ah yes, it is ... I have over 30,000 (most in 'Private' albums just for storage) so have been zipping & downloading.Not yet but I have less than 1000 photos and I thought that was maybe the allowance for a non pro?
Good ideaAh yes, it is ... I have over 30,000 most in 'Private' albums just for storage)so have been zipping & downloading.
These "discounts" do seem very random, don't they?My account will expire before the end of the month, but I've not had any offers either.
Hi photogramps,
Your Flickr Pro membership expired yesterday, and we want you back.
With a newly designed feed, exclusive deals on courses from world-renowned photographers, and lots more improvements on the way, now’s the time to make sure you’re here for all of it.
Get back the perks, stats, and unlimited storage your photos deserve for 30% off a Flickr Pro annual subscription.
I wonder if your zipping and downloading prompted the offer£39:12 offered.
I count this as a discount because I have an Adobe subscription and it reduces the annual cost of it.https://www.flickr.com/account said:Flickr Pros get two complimentary months ($20 value) of Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan, the powerful package of editing tools including Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.
No value in it if you don't though.I count this as a discount because I have an Adobe subscription and it reduces the annual cost of it.
Of course, but I do, and I save about £20 every year at Adobe, just because of flickr. So I'm not waiting for them to offer me a discount.No value in it if you don't though.
I doubt that had anything to do with it.I tried it once, let the subscription expire, but it didn't work, except that I didn't have a photo in 'Explore' for about half a year.
You need the "BBcode" I've no idea if 500px has that option?Is Flickr the only hosting site that can link images to this forum? I let Flickr Pro lapse some time ago because I prefer to use 500px, but I don't think 500px lets you link in the same way.
I doubt that had anything to do with it.
Over the 12 years (and probably more than half as a Pro) I've been with them, I've never had an "Explored" image.
But then I don't pimp stuff around it's purely a hosting service for me.
is that sending you a message Chris do you want some of my 300
Wonder if they'll make that generally available?I don’t feel as left out now! Just received an email from Flickr to come back to ‘Pro’ membership with a 25% discount off the first year back. I guess it part of a Black Friday promotion.
I have 2 accounts one pro and one no proWonder if they'll make that generally available?
I guess they are strugglingI guess it part of a Black Friday promotion.
I'm sure they're struggling, but putting prices up will only drive money away.I have 2 accounts one pro and one no pro
I have just been ( today) offered a 25% reduction to go pro
I guess they are struggling
I can’t remember what they had put it up to when I left but there was a lower cost for existing pro users. I guess that period has come to an end and all users are seeing price rises. I guess from their point of view is it easier to get more users (say 1000) paying £25 or less users (say 500) paying £50?I'm sure they're struggling, but putting prices up will only drive money away.

You can buy monthly and the payments are around £6 / month iirc.but it says it’s the Annual Plan which is priced monthly.. now I know this means you can’t cancel through the year but is it still paid monthly or is it A one off year payment?
as far as I’m aware the annual plan is the equivalent of £4.66 a month but you pay for a year upfront at £55.92. If you want to pay monthly it’s £6.99 a month (Equivalent of £83.88 per year).I have just received this offer too. I have never been a pro member, but am considering becoming one so this offer sounds a good time, but it says it’s the Annual Plan which is priced monthly.. now I know this means you can’t cancel through the year but is it still paid monthly or is it A one off year payment?
Thanks

or you can buy an annual one for a one off payment.

Im not sure if there is a minimum 12 month contract time with the monthly. If there isn’t I can initially see the benefit you could potentially cancel before 12 months is up, but if both are 12 month contracts then its quite a bit more just to pay monthly.Thank you both very much I thought that may have been the case, but was just confused as the annual was still shown as a monthly cost aha Thanks again
As far as I'm aware pay monthly and you can stop at anytime, you just revert back to the free one, and anything over 1000 images gets deleted.If there isn’t I can initially see the benefit you could potentially cancel before 12 months is up,
If it can be stopped anytime I guess its a way to properly test the water for a month or two before committing to a full year. But it does make more sense to go with a year if you know you're going to stay for a long time.As far as I'm aware pay monthly and you can stop at anytime, you just revert back to the free one, and anything over 1000 images gets deleted.
Seems an expensive way of doing it TBH, especially if you have less than a 1000 images.
