Still an absolute rip off. Plex prices are a joke

Amazon (US) is having a game time sale right now on 1, 3 and 12 month packs.
Are there any downsides to extending a subscription with Amazon vs CCP?

I haven't found any. In the account management it says 'Paid for through Amazon' or something so it's all legit. It's really easy too since you just link up your accounts to your amazon account. I also get points for using my amazon card to buy them there too which adds another 3% in savings.

Thanks for the Amazon tip -- I saved about 15% and it's a very easy process.

- select the subscription duration on amazon
- click the 'buy' button
- on the next page a very small pull down box will appear above the complete purchase button
- be sure to use this box to add/select an Eve account
- if you select 'add link' you will be directed to the CCP login screen to create the link
- after creating the link make sure the pull down box shows the account you want to add game time to
- complete purchase on amazon

I had to log out and log in on the CCP account management page to show the updated expiration date
- select cancel subscription from CCP account management to turn off auto bill (not sure if this would happen with Amazon)

Only downside I see is that Amazon requires a US billing address for the purchase.

PLEX has always been more expensive than buying a sub, not sure why this is a thing?

Or a non-American person for that matter. I had to Google it. As I understand it is some sort of end of year sale.


Because....a big chunk of their customers are American.

Because PLEX are intended to be used for MCT, cosmetic addons like Fedo Unicorns and to resell for ISK in game.

The assumption is that anyone just wanting to sub for cash will buy a sub not buy a PLEX.

The population segment targeted by "Black Friday" is not - or at least should not be - welcome here, so no thanks.
