    I used my existing account and linked the PayPal, and have got the 12 months trial promotion.

    • Hiphopopotamus on 04/09/2025 - 04:48

      Non-Pro account?

        Not OP but worked on my existing account that had pro before albeit from a free promo code, never paid.

          Didn't work on my existing account that had pro from the Moj Telecom deal (even though it got cancelled after 2 days). I'm just gonna up on perplexity after this.

            @Markness05: Mine didn't even get cancelled, I was banned on arrival. But I still see the message:

            You are already subscribed or have previously subscribed to Perplexity Pro.

      Didn't work on my existing, previously subscribed. Although that was via google account so maybe that's the difference.

      My free Pro subscription just finished & "You are already subscribed or have previously subscribed to Perplexity Pro" (PayPal & Perplexity are on the same gmail). I will just continue with the free DeepSeek/deepThink (great) /Qwen3 & basic Perplexity ;)

        This is a major plus of using PayPal if you don’t keep and use a debit card with near zero balance for such purchases. Almost makes you remember a time when businesses were forced to ask before taking more of your money by default. Good times!

      • Laepop on 08/09/2025 - 19:34

        I went ahea and cancelled payments on PayPal, and it cancelled only the auto-payments.

    • perthhunter on 04/09/2025 - 08:53

      I could pre-cancel by managing the sub here:
      https://www.perplexity.ai/account/details

      Better way to do it this way in addition to disabling Paypal autopay.

        If I "Cancel subscription", it just cancels auto renew but not the current subscription?

          Cloudflare is a well regarded entity

          Yep, CloudFlare do plenty of impressive things
          Though they aren't without actions that some are finding less than 'great'
          Eg
          https://www.techpolicy.press/cloudflares-troubling-shift-fro…

          I was posting perplexity answer as there's two "sides" to the ai argument in this example, especially when it's ai bot access as a user agent compared to ai bot access for scraping (which chatgpt and Gemini both get freed passes on because the respective Bing and Google web search crawler bots get much less scrutiny and you'd be nieve to think that data isnt being ingested for training)

            I'm curious, as someone who works in networking (admittedly not with a focus on security but with routing architecture) they are very well regarded, at least within the two organisations I've worked in that work with them. What issues do you have with them?

      • Rysta on 04/09/2025 - 09:00
        +5

        Calling scraping by another name does not make it not scraping. Even if its from a user request, it is still scraping the website.

        If a website blocks scrapers, one should respect that instead of DDOSing it. It is their right as a website owner to decide how it is accessed, especially when accessing it with a scraper means costing them compute while bypassing their revenue streams. Scraping everyone smothers the open web.

      Stealth crawling is a necessary evil to make competition open to everyone.

      Without it, only Elon and Sam Altman will have exclusivity deals with all the big websites and their AI will form a monopoly.

      Also consider that there are many ways to steal data and once that data is stolen, it can be trained into an AI and in most scenarios, it becomes untraceable.

        Load perplexity.ai in your browser and ask it something. If you open it in an inprivate window you get a fresh start every session. If it prompts you without answering your question, look for the [close] button.

        Generally perplexity is a very good search engine, however like all of them, it can occasionally come up with rubbish answers. So, check your sources (small grey box with numbers at the end or statements and 'sources' link. Obviously, downgrade sources that may be trying to sell you something (like the Google phone add pushing particular sunglasses).

      Tried another google account, got "You've previously subscribed to Perplexity Pro. This promotion is only valid for first-time subscribers." I guess cause my PayPal is the same one as I used for the above deal.

    • bargaino on 04/09/2025 - 12:30
      +9

      Huh? I asked an AI what the joke was.

      The addition of the cedilla (Ç) in the context of a "Perplexity Pro promotion" is a clever visual pun.
      In French and other languages, the cedilla is a diacritical mark added to the letter 'c' (ç) to change its pronunciation from a hard "k" sound to a soft "s" sound. Words like façade and garçon are classic examples.
      The humor lies in the fact that the word "can" with a cedilla (Çan) is pronounced just like "san," which is short for "sand." The promotion is for Perplexity Pro, and the joke is that you can "stack" multiple subscriptions to get a discount, but what you end up with is "Çan" (sand). "Sand" can't be "stacked," so the whole thing is a funny double-pun.

      We are probably safe from AI taking over the world for a little longer.

      • Raj09 on 05/09/2025 - 10:15

        Did not even mean to do this. I also text in French so when I was typing it automatically used the cedilla :). I will say it again: Can we stack this to the existing perplexity epic bargain of 12 months using Samsung store in the US?

        • bargaino on 05/09/2025 - 11:02

          Clearly this is an example of AI hallucination. No human would have gone down such a rabbit-hole of finding meaning in noise!

        Yes, VC's want to see users. It's a fight for users now, figure out how to make money out of them later.

      Trying to establish market share. It's a crowded competitive market and they will just be forgotten without users recommending it.
      If people do pay, or forget to unsubscribe, then that's nice revenue. But like all web startups they are happy to run at a loss on investor capital aiming to become huge and valuable.

      And users provide training data for improvement. And the usual selling of your interests to advertising databases.

    • Rysta on 04/09/2025 - 13:41

      Burning VC money on growth so that more VCs invest. They don't have a path to profitability so its the only way forward until one magically appears.

    Used a new email address but existing PayPal account that has the email same as previously used for Perplexity Pro, it detects and gives me this error that I've previously subscribed.

    Looks like we need to use a different PayPal account that is not connected with email address already used for Perplexity Pro
