AFAIK the change was done some time ago already. Being a European company it makes a lot of sense handling payments in Euro.
The latest increase in US$ might be the cause of Trumps silly tariff poliy which made a lot of people sell their US bonds which causes the US$ to lose value as a currency as people no longer trust the USA as a safe place to invest money.
Interesting⊠I always assumed that those paying in Euros were paying 39.95 euros and those of us in USA were paying 39.95 dollars. I didnât know that the âofficialâ price was dollars and you were paying the equivalent euros at the time. The whole thing makes more sense now.
Why should the Americans basically pay less? This will be a thing many Americans will face in the coming future with Trumps policy. Trumps tariffs will make everything more expensive for them.
Iâm not saying anyone âshouldâ pay less⊠I was under the impression (incorrectly as it turns out) that VHTV was allowing payments in both currencies and was treating them as equal. Now that they switched from charging 40 dollars to 40 euros everyone is paying more. It makes sense now why the price went up when I considered subscribing for a month.
You are 100% correct, if USA citizens was paying in dollars then no conversion needed so you was paying $39.95, same with people paying in euros if their countries currency is the Euro they was paying âŹ39.95, if your counties currency was any different to Euros or US Dollar you was paying fees on top to pay for the conversion
Well you was obviously not looking very hard then as the change to US dollars only is quite recent, could be that maybe it changed in the new year when the 90 day option was removed
This is the first time i hear about that option, seriously. Maybe youâre right and i simply didnât look hard enough, i canât argue with this. Was always 39,95$ and i didnât really cared about anything else, the difference i always paid in pounds, was minimal ( 1- 2 pounds more or less)
Bottom line is something changed and now it costs more for me to sub. Like Lazurus said, itâs not that big of a deal. The price is what it is and anyone can choose to pay it or not.. at this moment in time Iâm choosing not to.
(May change later on if I get bored enough while working from home )
it definitely was as I used to pay in Euros until segpay was removed in 2022 & I didnât have a sub since then because I wasnât able to pay with Verotel despite Euros still be an option
