2 month update:
Just got this mail
Your Nebula Subscription
We're writing to let you know about a change to your Nebula subscription. Curiosity Stream deactivated your bundle access to Nebula on February 22, 2024. Because you purchased your direct Nebula subscription while still having access to Nebula through the bundle, we're adjusting your subscription's renewal date to be one year after your bundle subscription was deactivated. Your updated subscription details are as follows:
Next Renewal Date: February 22, 2025
Subscription: Yearly
Amount: $30 USD
So that would also indicate double charging.
Answer:
The charge is immediate, but the 12-month plan starts when the bundle access ends.
Original question:
Got the info that my curiositystream bundle, started mid april, wouldn't renew. I canceled the bundle on curiositystreams side and used the process the unbundle page guides you through to change to a regular subscription. Which worked fine.
But the subscription price got charged immediately, and I now have two subscriptions listed in my account:
The confirmation reads
Thank you for purchasing a subscription to Nebula.
Subscription: Yearly
Purchase Date: February 21, 2024
Amount: $30 USD
Am I essentially getting double charged for 2 months here? If so, what would have been the right procedure?
That is what I hope, but I couldn't find something referencing that. I suppose I'll update Feb 2025 on if I've been charged
I believe I found where it's mentioned. It's on one of their blog posts:
The CEO Dave Wiskus has also stated on a Reddit comment that it doesn't start counting until the bundle is over:
They just mailed me a renewal date in Feb 2025.
Great, thanks. I should have read the blog, it's quite to the point.
To be fair, it should probably be added to the unbundle page
