How Is Your Subscription Billed?
All subscriptions (except for gift subscriptions) are set to automatically renew at the beginning of each billing period: monthly, quarterly, or annually. You are billed with the payment method provided when the subscription is activated.
A subscription renews on the last day of the renewal month if it is purchased on:
- The 31st of January, March, May, July, August, October, and December, or
- The 30th of April, June, September, and November
Example:
A monthly subscription started on Jan. 31st will renew on Feb. 28th (or Feb. 29th if available), Mar. 31st, Apr. 30th, May 31st and so on.
