Thanks alot you are the best
thnk…u…from india..
Not really seeing a discount if I just want illustrator or Photoshop. Even $20 a month seems high for something that I don’t use every day. I go through projects where? I might use a daily for a month, but then I won’t use it often until the next project. I can’t necessarily justify their pricing when I would rather purchase like I can do with elements. The only problem is I’ve now experienced Photoshop and some of the extra tools that I would like to continue with it but not at their prices. Plus using illustrator for a backdrop design was required and the program would be too up to date for the backdrop company printer and have to scale back some of the cool designs because their printer couldn’t handle it.
oh my god! you are a genius. I got 60 days free.
This video just saved me $300+ 🤯
Although says prices checked 7/3/24, as of 7/3/24 it is full price from affiliate link 😾
Adobe is very cheap in Turkey. If you choose Turkey as the plan, you can get it for 70% cheaper. Currently Adobe CC is $10/Month.
it works!!! thank you very much … i don’t understand why it is said that so many people hate adobe
1:55 What happens to your cloud files if you do this?
Thank you!
Great video Anne! Thanks for sharing the tips. Out of curiosity, why people wouldn’t like affiliate links? It’s not like it gives extra charge + they get to support you (or any other creator for that matter). I was just a bit confused about that 😀
Don’t they sell the whole software? Or is it just yearly and monthly plans?

Thank you ❤️🔥
Hello mam good morning
500th like
GIMP is free have you ever worked with that? You teach so clearly that I would love to learn GIMP from you. I hear that it have basically what Adobe has available.
🧠🎯This version of the cheat is already old, the new version of the cheat with anti-ban is already on my channel🍕🌈
Please tell me how I can get Illustrator only for a cheaper rate. I do have their Photoshop. I don’t use any other programs they offer. Thanks
this is what i have been doing hahahahaha 😀
😍✨
will this work for larger format prints like 11 x 17in or 18 x 24in? When I save the pdf through my printer it limits it to the size the printer can print.
ahh thank you so much for this info! I was able to cut my monthly fee in half for the next year which will help so much!
Would be nice if long term customers were rewarded without needing to look for these tricks… 🙂
What a great timing to remind me of this, thanks a lot! Just had a couple of days before my subscription would have been renewed and now instead of 67€ I’m down to 36€. I feel like I EARNED money doing this 😉
Keep up the good work!
Thank u very much for sharing such great information ✨✨✨✨💖💖
Thinks for this good tips wait for more ! Keep going 🤗
YOU ROCK!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much.
Got a sub & like from me.
I tried to "cancel" my plan and got this message – You’ll be charged an early cancellation fee: US $31.49 Ok, guess will try again later on …
I tried the second method, without an active subscription, and I wasn’t able to contact them. Just got an annoying chatbot telling me that only users with an active subscription can contact Adobe over the phone.
Anne you’re a genius! I did exactly what you said to do and saved a bundle. I told Adobe that I was leaving because it’s too expensive. Immediately they brought up some offers. I went from roughly $89 a month to something like $30. This video absolutely saved me over $60 a month. Great job Anne.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow
This video is of great help to me.
Thanks dear
Why would someone not want to use an affiliate link to support the creator that helped them, it costs mothing extra , i really just dont grasp what possible problem someone could have with it? Please educate me if you know
In regards to Adobe’s predatory pricing methods, _any_ method of getting it for free is ethical
I never knew how simple this could be! Went from $54.99 a month to $15.99 a month for the next year. Thank you, Anne!
That’s genius! Thank you, Anne
Thanks alot 🎉
Thanks so much for this info !
Yikes! This didn’t work for me! It cancelled. 🙁 Maybe I did it in the wrong order? I signed out after I went through the process, and then signed back in, and when I try to sign up for the 40% off deal, it says I already have the plan! Any help?
Yes. Thank you. I was about to cancel mine.
Anne, you are genious!
Will this work every year?
How to adobe premirepro 2023 extract file
Thank you! I’ve had Adobe Illustrator for almost two years now and have been paying $34.09 monthly. Now I’m paying $22.72!
I think for some of us who have been loyal CC subscribers for years (I have two subscriptions for four computers), your advice is a godsend. It worked! Even if it is for just one year.
Great and thanks.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
