Just tried the browser extension and it works perfectly well with prime video.
I found some of the same things. Thanks for sharing your comment.
My lifetime premium expired last week and the support staff confirmed that this is the maximum they can offer on lifetime and I've to pay again for 5 years.

"in tech life industry, lifetime refers to 5 years" - what a moronic response.
Stacksocial product details says: After 5 years, please reach out to [email protected] to renew your subscription free of charge. (yes, "free of charge" is actually written in bold)
You've been scammed. Contact stacksocial support and let us know what they say.
Yup! What a load or rubbish.
@ankittulsian I bet if you get another customer service rep they will probably renew. Seems pot luck.
A lot of people who had PureVPN (Similar Deal) that expired after 5 years failed to get it renewed and were offered Keepsolid in return via StackSocial.
This will not sit good with Ivacy. This is really bad advertising.
@ankittulsian - please report this to Stacksocial and keep us updated with what they decide. You have rights because this was bad advertising involving Stacksocial.
Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that Stacksocial gave them VPN Unlimited as compensation. Let's see what they say this time.
Edit: Oh wait, that was referring to Purevpn deal.
Not clear if he bought through Stacksocial. Anyway saying that lifetime deal=life cycle of a distro (or whatever) release is stupid.
There is no such thing as "lifetime = 5 years". This is a lie invented by Ivacy.
@ankittulsian did you buy lifetime from Stacksocial or directly with them? While I agree the defintion of lifetime=5 years is bs, it seems Stacksocial Lifetime purchases are dealt with differently than lifetime purchases from Ivacy website.
Cant seem to find ivacy deal on stacksocial now
Yes. You are right.
Lifetime from ivacy website is $99 and no need of contacting them in every 5 years for renewal.
Where as
In stacksocial, its $39 and need to contact them in every 5 years for renewal (they might renew or reject it. who knows)
The way I understood it is that people who bought for 99$ directly from Ivacy had their lifetime deal ending after 5 years, and people who bought via Stacksocial had the option to renew free of charge (in theory).
@xetsys @default it seems like Ivacy really removed their offers from Stacksocial. Couldn't find them via search just now, either.
What If you already have VPN unlimited lifetime...?
Then you might get something else like some of the worse ones (Slickvpn etc) or just nothing at all (= get scammed). At this point, nobody knows.
It is sad to hear that Ivacy is lying regarding their services. All of a sudden this brand can not be trusted anymore.
Seems like FastestVPN is the last one standing on Stacksocial. Maybe BulletVPN, but haven't tested.
Their extremely dishonest attitude towards lifetime makes me think they might not be fully honest in other ways too
Honestly anyone selling lifetime is probably earing recurring revenue selling user data
Or is just stupid
I’d bet on the former
That's what probably many (lifetime) vpns are doing, hence why I only use them for unblocking/streaming.
It's a little odd that the first Ivacy StackSocial sale in a long time results in the total removal of the VPN after the sale ends on Stacksocial
based on my experience, If you already have a VPN unlimited, there is a chance that you can continue using the original service. But you will need to keep fighting between the actual service provider (e.g. purevpn) and slack social. It’s a bit time-consuming and tiring.
This is true, On January 24th I bought one-year PureVPN subscription $23.88 with a 120% cashback rate. After 11 weeks, I got my Purevpn cashback $28.66 and TopCashBack - SignUp Bonus $25. PureVPN's maximum cashback rate can reach up to 140%.
In my opinion this whole thing of lifetime=5years will turn against Ivacy to bite it in the "back" through reviews.
At least Stacksocial reviews can no longer harm them as the product has been removed.
Sorry for not mentioning it earlier. It was directly on their website. But nonetheless, they never mentioned it on their page or terms that lifetime is 5 years.
someone has made a review on trustpilot, Ivacy lifetime plan = 5 years
They seems to care about trustpilot reviews so they will most likely try to bribe those who complain there with another 5-years extension.
Too bad I didn’t know that before. I would have done the same thing.
Then clients should start complaining on Trustpilot with honest reviews about lifetime as not lifetime. Maybe this will make them change their attitude and respect their customers through providing their lifetime service as advertised.
Anyway this is a huge mess now, because cat is out of the bag. Stacksocial removed Ivacy (likely for this reason) while many past lifetime services reached their 5 year mark. Now it is the best time to complain and leave bad reviews - it is a customer's right to complain for a service which is no longer provided as per initial contract terms. If this will change Ivacy attitude, then it is for the best.
There's nothing preventing you to post legit review about your experience with Ivacy lifetime subscription.
