Subscription

Does anyone know what the subscription does for you?
i.e. can you download items with out paying for them?
What are the benifits?
Do you subscribe and is it worth it or is it better to do the credit boast?

This may help Helen, it's not something I've ever bothered with so can't offer any advice, just ask yourself how many things are there in the Store that you might want/need !! https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/pr...-subscriptions

Like Shirley I've never had one Helen

I have a yearly subscription which means by just entering my password I can buy without the hassle of putting in card details. You do not have to spend up each month, it rolls over.

I have a yearly subscription which means by just entering my password I can buy without the hassle of putting in card details. You do not have to spend up each month, it rolls over.

So are you say for example you take out a monthly subscription for say like £7.99 that's what you get to spend? I don't really understand the purpose of it if that's the case. You might as well just buy them as you go if you don't get more for you money by having the subscription.

After reading that I really don't think it would be worth me bothering to subscribe, I don't think I would purchase enough to warrant it, I might be better going for the credit boast instead.

Sorry Helen I was just telling Pink Pig (don't her name )

[PinkPig1]

My subscription has been going for 4 years and because I selected auto renewal the price goes down 10% each year
( you can cancel the auto at any time). In the current year I paid £53.94 which is about £4.50 per month and next year it will be £48.54 so as I am not an artist or designer it suits me to be able to buy from the store without going over that amount bearing in mind I get more than £4.50 put in each month. I need to catch it on the day the amount goes in to tell you how much a month goes in - I don't buy every month so it mounts up for a big splurge when they have a sale.

[ellygreen]

Yes i do tend to design myself, sometimes i like to be lazy and just purchase but most times i will design it myself, so i think i might go for one of the credit boast while they have it on offer.

[ellygreen]

I went for the £25 credit boast which gives you £50 of credits. I recon that was a good deal for me

[PinkPig1]

With 50% of all designs still on today you should get some bargains!
