Anyone tried downgrading their plan to see if they see the $35 Black Friday Deal?

Anyone tried to downgrade their current plan >$35/month to the promotional $30/month plan?
Will the $35/month black friday plan then show up afterwards? Thanks.

And for your info, the CS_Agent told me the following - so there's a lot of maybes - that's why I want to see if anyone actually tried it 🙂

Regarding your question regarding the changes:

You must be aware that if you process changes in your account and select the option "Change now" you will be charged the full cost of the new plan and there won't be any refund or credit for the unused days of your cycle. This means if you go a head and change to $30+taxes plan you will pay the $30+taxes and there won't be any refund or credit. Later, there could be the possibility that the $35+taxes plan show or you need to wait 24 hours so the information in the account can be updated so you can log in and look for this plan.

the Black Friday deals could stay as Boxing day deals, so, you could still see them next month

My plan is actually $40/mo, so I was thinking if I spend $30 to switch immediately, then I may be able to see the $35 black friday plan. In the long run, I'd be able to save money and get a better plan for wasting $30 now.

to @Handy1 's point, I would not be surprised if we see the Mexico plans become part of the stable since Freedom appears to have kept their's all year. If that's the case we should have more time to be able to eventually switch to one of these plans even if we have to change to a lesser plan in the mean time

If you see the plan offered to your account while logged in (browser or app) you can downgrade, but its a coin toss if they will offer you the black friday plan you want. Typically, they will only help you upgrade your plan (that is, to a higher monthly rate). So id say if you can change to a lower priced plan, they would be more willing to help you upgrade to one that is more per month. But they wont help you downgrade, you can only do that if you see it offered to your account specifically.

@kykyuen  I don’t know that anyone has tried it yet but I belive it would work and have suggested it as work around . And would be cheaper then porting out and back in to get that plan if support won’t help . So in that case I’d rather give them $30 a month instead of $36 if they don’t help me or give option to pay $35 MEX plan

@kykyuen a lot of this strategy will have to do with timing. If you select the Change Now option then you forfeit any remaining days left that you paid for and there is typically no refund for that so most people will choose Change on renewal option but then you have to wait till that date arrives so not sure if it will be in time for Black Friday deals for most folks but I'm also curious to know what becomes available

i honestly don't think this trick will work.  Or even if it works, you might not see the plans you want on the same day.  You might have to wait a day or longer
