2023 Black Friday Kimsufi 50% off for 12 months commitment - any idea if this continues on?
Hoping for a Kimsufi rep to weigh in as OVH/Kimsufi support tickets have not answered this clearly.
I got a KS-5 @ 2023 OVH's Black Friday sale..
it had nice specs, priced at $50 (AUD) with a 50% discount..
shortly after, the price got revised to 33 AUD..
I just have a suspicion OVH worded the 2023 Black Friday 50% deal in a unusual way so it could possibly only apply to the initial 12months period.
Currently,
server expires 22 November,
recomittment portal doesn't show any discounts for any commitment length ..
anyone got opinions if this offers will continue on after the initial 12 months?
TIA

You can select manual renewal and see the price.
This year's estimate will be prepared in advance!
that won't be continued.

Where did they advertise Black Friday deal? Or was it not advertised and just on website?

Offer subject to the availability of the server chosen, with the time at which the order is processed by OVHcloud used as proof in the event of any disputes. Offer valid until service cancellation.
so yeah .. confusing af
Offer valid until service cancellation.
That would indicate that the 50% would be applied again to another Yearly renewal.
AFAIR, only the early orders for that offer were recurring.
Later it changed to "50% for the first 12 months".
I would wait before renew and see if new kimsufi get BF deals since it's now 3times the old upload speed but I guess it depend on your usage
