30 day trial and billing

[ChimeraOfLakshmi]

I'll be buying the game on the 21st. Now if I use my 30 day trial on the 21st, how/when will the billing cycle take over? Thanks in advance to anyone who helps^^

Edit: Sorry if this has already been posted, I didnt really notice anything specific to this question on the Q&A stickies.

Re: 30 day trial and billing

you will not be charged from may 21st to june 21st. On July 1st, you will be charged a prorated fee from 6-21 to 6-30 AND the full fee for 7-1 to 7-31.

I've heard talk about SE and thier "Smart Billing" It sound as if I'll be charged for the full month even if it was just 9 days....Not that I don't believe you but could someone confirm this?

Re: 30 day trial and billing

that is only if you reactivate in the middle of the month. it won't apply for new accounts that still have their 30 trial.

So I will be charged for the month of July on July 1st? I thought I would be charged for the month of July on August 1st....

Edit: Oh, and how much will I be charged for those 9 days? And thanks for helping me out so quickly^^

no, they always charge you for the coming month. July 1-31 is charged on July 1st.

and take $12.95/30 days * 9 = prorated charge
