People like me are bad at mental math and lazy, but also cheap, so we like 90-day plans.

Show us the benefit of a 90-day plan by dividing it by 3 to show the ~monthly price.

 

Heck ya, $42 sounds good! But $126 is almost off-putting!

Although I like this idea, I'd actually propose to modify it slightly to show the cost per calendar month on any plan duration.

 

For the example 90 day plan you've shown, the actual "calendar month" plan amount is:

$126 / 90 days = $1.40 per day x 365 = $511 per year / 12 months = $42.58 per calendar month.  This is more acurate for comparing against plans at other carriers, which are all montly (calendar month) plans rather than a fixed nubmer of days.

Sure. That sounds good! Math it up, nerd alert. Cat Very Happy

 

(I am both delighted by and appreciative of your feedback. No offense intended by "nerd alert.")

Actually, would be nice IF they took some of the rewards into consideration when Plan fee breakdown is done on 90 day, if using Auto-Pay and if past year one or more, for accurate fee per every 30 day on a 90 day period

@Yessi don't worry, I take nerd as a compliment 🙂

 

@makkahn28 the problem there is that rewards are "fluid".  From month to month you might get different amounts of community rewards, you might add or cancel auto-pay, you might pass a year marker and start or increase your loyalty reward, you might refer a new friend, or have one you previously referred port out to another carrier, etc.

 

If PM were to quote you a plan amount based on whatever your current reward sitaution is, and then your situation changed, it would be a support nightmare of people asking why their plan amount changed and so on.  It's a lot cleaner to just quote the base price plan and let you know that you can reduce that in various ways.

Great suggestion - should be very easy to implement and would make PM look much more attractive to new subscribers without any downsides. Really not sure why they haven't considered this to begin with.
