Yeah, I've got the same mail, just based in Germany. With that offer I'll plan to do this:Here's what I got from them in regard to the UK today
The good news is that live cycling races are available on discovery+. As a gesture of our appreciation and to compensate you for the inconvenience of the closure of GCN+, we would like to offer you a voucher code to discovery+. With this voucher you will get a subscription to the Standard plan of discovery+ for the first 3 months at no cost starting from the date of your code redemption. xxxxxx must be redeemed at https://auth.discoveryplus.com/redeem by 31 Dec 2023. After the promotional period your subscription will convert to a paid subscription and will automatically renew each month at the then-current monthly price (now £6.99) inclusive of VAT, unless cancelled prior to renewal. Terms and Conditions* apply.
- Wait until the 31.12. (last possible day to activate the voucher) and start my 3 months for free subscribtion going from January-March.
- Pay their monthly subscription model (4€/month in Germany) from April-September (6 months) and cancel my subscription in September.
That way I'm getting the full road season (except Lombardia, but I'll work something out for that) for 24€ total, I don't care about cyclocross and I don't really care about the GCN documentaries and whatever so this is kinda working out better in the end than I expected.
Really sucks for everyone on the American continent tho, nothing is worse than having multiple subscriptions and extra add ons and whatever.
