Adobe Creative Cloud "Offers"

TWiT Shows Hands-On Photography

Can’t justify the high expense of a Creative Cloud Membership? I was pleased to discover Adobe’s “Offers”:

I tried what this blog suggests, and it worked. When chatting with the representative, my angle was “I only use a handful of the programs in the ‘All Apps’ plan, so could I get a custom plan with just Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Acrobat at a reduced price?”

Their answer was “The only plan with those apps is the ‘All Apps’ plan.” So I thought that meant no custom deals, thinking the blog was just wrong or they’d already changed the policy. I said “never mind,” but then the chat continued. They offered and I accepted the same plan at a lower price. The annual price I paid last August was over $600, working out to about $54/month. They gave me a prorated refund, and 3 free months, and my next bill will be in July. That bill, and I guess every bill onward until they decide to raise it for everybody, will be $30/month. Yay! That’s a total win for me.

Anyway, I’m leaving this here for those who would like Adobe software but haven’t been able to partake because of the expense.

The article says this is for existing subscribers and not everyone will find their subscription plans to be acceptable since they may not offer anything other than monthly subscription terms.

For everyone else, do note that Adobe has their own privacy policy and terms of use which may or may not be applicable to your own country (other than the United States). I have also had my own experience with their own privacy breaches, hacking and lack of security, it is therefor not particularly favorable or in your own control especially because if your information is somehow exposed they will not compensate you or attempt to resolve it.
