I’ve been holding off on renewal of my Avast Internet Security subscription because $60/yr is too high, imo. They started offering me a discount of $29.99/yr yesterday, which I’m willing to pay, so I click on the Renew Now button and then the Select $29.99/year button under my current product, Avast Internet Security:
Whilst it is always good to shop around for the best price, care has to be taken to ensure you are getting a legit deal (Amazon is probably OK). But there are many other sources that aren’t legit, the old adage of ‘if it looks to good to be true, it probably is.’
I would certainly agree with the cancel the auto-renewal as that deal is possibly the worst option/deal about, the first deal 30-60% off might sound great (and legit) but renewals are at normal price (not so good). Why Avast don’t have a renewal discount for auto renewals, just doesn’t seem good when better deals are available elsewhere (even from avast).
