I pay $5.99… now they raise it to $10.99 lol

You’re a student I guess?

The hifi and hifi plus are the same after 10 April. I think that’s a good deal. It’ll align with Qobuz prices but I feel Tidal is a bit better all around.

But I’m a lifelong student… where do I sign up for the discount…

Military. Yeah, although my email says 10.99 not 13.99

Didn’t realize they offered mil discount. Will need to check on this.

You using a dependent ID along with the student rate?

That’s because you were paying the 5.99. I was paying for hifiplus and since they’re lowering that tier and combining it with the hifi one, it’ll be 13.99 going forward. You had a discount so you’re getting the 10.99. I will soon to tho lol.

No, I’m the veteran so no dependent id. I don’t think you can combine discounts.

Afaik, it’s 10.99 across the board. Tidal slashed any kind of student/military/first responder discounts…

lol the verge. Wonder if they’re still fighting cancer or static. :laughing:

Yeah, I didn’t know they ever offered a mil discount.

That’s cool you were able to use your ID and get a discount. They accepted a medical/VA ID or something similar?

I think it was through id.me but tbh I don’t remember, it’s been a long time since I opted for their subscription

Gotcha. I have that as well. I emailed them and asked if this was true, regarding them removing the discount.

I got an email from Tidal yesterday letting me know my discount would be going away once the new $10.99 pricing begins. I’m currently paying $11.99/month, so after 4/10/24 I’ll be saving $1/month. Sounds good to me.

If you use apple and your subscription is through them then it’s 30% more. That’s why my email said $13. Tidal said I can just swap my payment method and I’m good. Kinda crazy that there’s a difference.

They’re just passing on the ammount Apple takes.
It’s becoming more common.

Very cool, his recent Compactron line also has a few DAC configurations and less money than the heritage line. Heritage line is between €15k-€20k, Compactron is over €7k.

I like the way they never update the links, just the content.
Interesting they still offer the 4 variants, but they’ve stopped doing that for the higher end stuff.

Also a bit unfortunate they’ve cycled through Amber versions quite so fast, the Amber 3 was current 3 years ago, and there now on the 5.
It’s nice they have a decent trade in policy, but that comes across a bit too fast to cycle through the 4.
