Why YSK: With minimal friction to your purchasing process you can find hidden discounts (sometimes big ones!) for items online or through app purchases.
Especially for larger items you are purchasing online. After going through the entire process of purchasing an item and then stopping just before the “Complete/Place Order” button sometimes will trigger marketing to reach out with bigger discounts.
Same goes for some app subscriptions. If you plan on upgrading an app, while inside the app, sometimes dismissing the first price or offer will trigger a better discounted offer.
To add to this, on some streaming services if you try to cancel during a free trial, they’ll offer a longer free trial. This works on paramount plus, idk about other platforms but I’d expect a lot of them do the same thing.
I tried cancelling Fubo.tv and they offered me a whole month free. I still get emails from them to restart the account for half the price for the first month now.
