Metal Subscription Plan Sparks User Outrage | Benefits Under Fire
A growing wave of frustration is emerging among users over the Metal subscription plan, which many deem misleading due to its limited-time benefits. Reports claim that perks related to Perplexity subscription last only two years, contrasting sharply with what was initially communicated.
User Concerns Intensify
Many people are increasingly vocal about how the Metal plan has fallen short of their expectations. The main issue? Perplexity subscriptions expire after two years, which caught many off guard. "That was changed in the past months and is unfortunately an issue with Perplexity, not with Revolut," expressed one frustrated member.
Further discontent has emerged, as evidenced by comments revealing that not all users even have access to the Perplexity feature. One user stated, "I have metal sub and I don’t even have perplexity included within my plan." Another added, "It’s not part of the Metal tier benefits in PL either, and Poland is in the EEA."
Disappointment is palpable, with some users contemplating cancellations. "I think they’re all like this. I’m cancelling in April for this very reason," echoed another, underlining that the plan lacks value as perks start to diminish over time.
Alternative Strategies Emerge
Some individuals are brainstorming potential solutions. "The way around that is to invite the new account to collaborate on spaces from the old account. Not ideal but it works," noted a savvy user, suggesting a workaround for those feeling stuck with the existing limitations.
Similar advice was echoed, emphasizing the need to establish a new account to retain Perplexity benefits. "You need to create a new Perplexity account altogether. Then you can go to Revolut, find your Perplexity benefit, and re-register with that code," outlined another user who found a way to sidestep the frustrating restrictions.
How Users Manage Subscriptions
Users also touched upon how they could manage re-registering their subscriptions. One mentioned, "As I understand, you’ll need to add your card details on Perplexity to use it for free at least until 2028." This insight could prove valuable for many members struggling with activation issues.
Interestingly, some believe that these issues stem more from Perplexity than Revolut. "Revolut is just an affiliate. It’s Perplexity that doesn’t do their job right." This sentiment is echoed in discussions spanning various forums, showing a significant divide in user experiences linked to region and subscription tiers.
