I got an email from WordPress overnight.
Black Friday Deal – 40% off a two-year plan.
I’m generally pretty satisfied with WordPress – there aren’t many other options! – so I thought I might take advantage of the offer. I couldn’t see a two-year option for my Personal Plan but I entered the code anyway. Invalid.
I contacted their Support people, and just had their response.
To take advantage of their generous offer, the two-year deal involved an upgrade to the Business Plan, way more than I need, at a grand total of about $300!
Beware the small print.
Amendment:
Credit where it’s due. After I complained, someone from WP got back to me. I can indeed use their offer on the Personal Plan. It cost £18 (haly the price of normal) to extend my subscription to Nov ’24.

I have a business plan because I’ve been interested in opening an online shop. The support, and the instruction materials stink, but wait…there’s still more! they’ll set the shop up for you for a few thousand dollars. Nope.

Show me the money… They can;t even get back to the point where likes and comments work correctly. Someone is going to come along with value/bucks and eat WP for lunch.

When you think, it is based on a product which it freeware, the only value they add is the notification system. They have been done. I designed one for a bank.

I have to say Sadje, they came back to me and said that I could use it on the Personal Plan, so I extended until Nov 24 (about an extra 15 months) for the price of a 6-month subscription.

No I just used it. You need to apply the code blackfriday2022, but it needs to be on a 2-year plan. I couldn’t add a 2-year plan but their support did it for me.

I moaned at them and they did apply it to my plan. I basically extended for 15 months at a cost of “half a year”.
