Michael Steele asked:
Regarding part of your recent post … “One last tip: You can usually save a lot by buying MobileMe from Amazon instead of Apple. The only way to save on MobileMe from Apple is to get it when you buy a new computer. MobileMe will ask you for credit card information so that they can automatically renew your MobileMe subscription. Don’t give it to them! Instead, wait for the reminder that MobileMe is going to expire and buy a new copy from Amazon. You can save $30/year — almost a third of the cost — that way.”…
So if I buy the MobileMe from Amazon, how do I apply that to an already existing MobileMe account? Won’t it ask me to “sign-up” and create a new MobileMe account?
Any guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks!
Nope. What you get in the box is a code. Enter the code in the renewal area of your existing MobileMe account and it will extend your existing subscription.
Currently the “old version” of MobileMe is available at Amazon for $56 or $54 but despite it being “old” the codes still work.
