Hey, we're working through some subscription issues now. The sale should work for new subscribers, but trying to add years to your account is a bit wonky right now and those transactions will likely fail.

The sale will be going on for the next week, so I'd hold off for now on trying to extend while we work this out.

Update: Extend your subscription here!

I got the "your subscription is updated" e-mail and it says my next voice date is the May 8th so I don't know if that means it will upgrade to yearly then but as of now I seem to be charged and appear to be upgraded on the profile though no golden medal. Rorie halp.

So my subscription ends in June and I just chose the yearly option. Does that mean I will still get the $35 when that time comes?

@rorie: I extended my subscription about 2 hours ago, haven't received an email yet.
Do I have to wait or did something go wrong?

@iqmay: It looks like your transaction was declined on our end. this was probably related to the issues we were seeing earlier. Can you try extending again, and I'll check if it worked this time.

@robatw: On the "change plan" page, you should see a link at the bottom that allows you to extend your plan. You can't extend the subscription just by buying another one.

@rorie Are the sub extensions for $35 just the subscription or are they sub+shirt (I need a new GB Tee!)?

It looked like I successfully renewed (I was through 2016 now it says through 2017), but I went back to the billing page, and it looked like I could do it again (if I wanted to). Is that supposed to happen?

@rorie: Thanks for the link. I can't use my GB sign-up email address on my Paypal Account as that address triggers an insta-ban on Paypal.

I know it wasn't a problem using two separate address when I signed up for premium last year, but you got all the scary text at the bottom of that page so I just wanted to check with you before I pulled the trigger.

Thanks for letting us know about this Matt. I'll hold off for a while before adding years to my account. Hopefully it's working this weekend.

Just the sub. We remove the store code when a sale's going on.

As a current subscriber, is it possible to order more than one year? I am apparently currently listed as a monthly even though I ordered a year last time this was on sale right before Vinny left for New York last year. My current subscription runs out in June and I just selected the "Yearly Member" option. It doesn't seem as if there is an option to order multiple years though?

@rorie Do I have to extend my membership if I already have a yearly auto renewing membership or will it just keep auto renewing for me?

It'll automatically renew, but if it's set to renew outside of the sale period it will be for the full $49.95.

Usually the deal is $49.95 which includes a $15 store coupon. If you extend at $35 you'll save $15 which you can use on anything you like, including a shirt!

We should be able to fix all of these cases by next week at the earliest. Let me know if the display is still wrong on Tuesday or so at support at giantbomb.com. Sorry for the trouble.

If you're on the yearly sub it should resub you at the discount price. Let me know if there are any issues at support at giantbomb.com.
