    I cancelled disney life last month and just re subscribed there with 3 pay. It charged me 6.99, up 50c. But then when I tried to log in it says my disney life account is not active that I need to resubscribe, but then wont let me. Gits still charged me though.

    Do I contact Google or Disney for a refund?

    Try Google first. You can contact them via chat.

    Yeah seems to be blocked for some but available to others (possibly if they were previous subscribers)

    Looks like DisneyLife (currently €6.99 per month by credit) will be getting re-branded to Disney+, so I don't see them doing away with the pay by credit when it's launched.

    https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/disneylife-disney-plus-uk-plans-134202447.html

    I might sign up for the free week before the launch, and then cancel if it doesn't work before the first charge hits.

    For those considering signing up to DisneyLife now using their credit, I did a little digging around and found this article...

    https://www.businessinsider.com/disney-plus-uk-launch?r=US&IR=T
    Subscriptions for current members will automatically close on the next billing date following March 23, 2020. DisneyLife subscriptions will not automatically transition into Disney Plus subscriptions, so if you're still interested in streaming Disney content, you will have to sign up for a new Disney Plus account on your own.

    After today (29 Feb) they are no longer renewing monthly subscriptions.

    It would seem that Disney Life accounts will be allowed to die off rather than be transitioned to Disney Plus, so we probably just need to wait until the new app is out on Play Store before we know if we can subscribe via credit.

    And also from Disney themselves...

    https://support.disney.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360040080491-Important-update-about-your-DisneyLife-subscription
    Please note that your account transition from DisneyLife to Disney+ is not automated. You’ll have to sign up for a Disney+ subscription. When Disney+ goes live on 24 March 2020, you can download the Disney+ app on your favourite devices, create a new account to log in

    It was pretty hard to find.

    Most of my initial searches gave results like "a decision on what will happen with DisneyLife accounts will be announced soon"

    The successful search keyword seemed to be "transition" rather than "migration" or "upgrade"

    Why the requests to spend credit on things when the best are free?

    That's 2 now.

    In what way is Duolingo better than, for example, Duolingo Plus?

    Just to confirm, you can get Duolingo plus using 3 credit, but only the monthly rate which isn't as good value as the annual or 6 month subscriptions.

    Have you checked your balance? Mine bounced to and when I checked my credit balance it had dropped from €40 odd to €10. I contacted 3 but it takes 3 days to get a usage report. Have no idea where it could have all gone.

    Not sure if it was definitely taken from my credit or not. I did get a text message from Google Play thanking me for my payment and also got a text from Three letting me know of the charge to mobile purchase. These texts both came at 6am whereas the email came at 5:58am.

    The Irish Cancer Society has had to cancel Daffodil Day because of Corona virus. This means an a huge hit financially. Many of their services rely on Daffodil Day donations. Please donate €4 now by texting CANCER to 50300.

    I got my usage report today and within 5 minutes YouTube charged me 3 times, so I'm not sure how they're saying my payment bounced, at least I know where my credit went.

    The issue also affects premium SMS. When I tried the above Irish Cancer Society donation by text, I got a response saying: Your donation was not processed, please contact your network provider.

    There are still high reports of issues with the Three network on Downdetector:
    https://downdetector.ie/status/3/

    Update (13th May): The Irish Cancer Society donation by text worked today.

    They updated stuff recently when they went down for the upgrade. No surprise there's teething issues...
    Seems to be fairly constant updates on weekends.
    Things like these cost them money so I doubt they devote serious resources to it.
