Worth it?
A few more fun bits of information for you all!
I cancelled my subscription (as I had already paid for this months at $12). It had me pay right then and now, but it changed my next billing date to Feb.
BUT if you look at the coupon page: https://www.humblebundle.com/home/coupons it says it is only valid until Valid until Jun 4, 2021, 10:00:00 AM.
That would mean, Jan (1), Feb(2), Mar(3), Apr(4), May(5) and my coupon would fall off before I paid for the 6th month. Going to ask support about this now.

Some people have had some success pausing and then unpausing their sub but it didn't work for me.
I paused and unpaused and tried paying early to see if I was getting asked for 6 or 12 bucks, and it's 12 bucks as usual.
Not sure if they caught up with the trick and have changed the way the deal is applied to avoid current Classic subs getting the discount.

Hpw curious, I got december with this promo by unpausing - my membership tells me I will be charged 6$ on Jan 29.
From past experience with pausing and such, it seems to me that Humble has you paused for January and will auto-charge you for the Feb bundle...but good luck!

I am an old subscriber of Humble Monthly and this Humble Choice thing. So this new subscription plan grants you all the all 14 games per month for $6? How was the quality the previous months, does this mean maybe they are trying to lure people into subscribing for lesser quality games?

I bought a 12 month $132 ($11 per month) plan back in early December, because I thought it came with 1 month of an EA Plan. It turns out they worded that all weirdly, I had to pay a reduced cost to get that plan and I wasn't interested on that level, I may not even have found the time to use it and as it turned out my gaming laptop died in me a couple of weeks ago and I haven't gotten a replacement yet. Then I saw a $99 plan with 'conditions' but I couldn't get the conditions page due to not being logged in and when being logged in being a subscriber of an already existent plan. I hope it was only for new subscribers. Now they reveal this? On the plus side, I have heard it's $12 a month for Classic plan people, so that's +$1 for 6 months. I think these people save $24 over a year. Of course, they could subscribe for a year in half a years time, but then they'll likely miss whatever Christmas deal they might have gotten next year. I do feel robbed though over my poor decision, especially as it was influenced by their questionable grammar on the EA thing.

Being a HB subscriber makes you feel robbed everyday due to all the promos they do for new customers only ;)
I appreciate the bundle contents nonetheless - but only if I pay at most 12$ (classic plan) for them, for me, no other site gives this quality of games and I don't generally buy games full price due to backlog.

Thanks op.
Actually bought the 12 months for 99 usd during the november black friday sale (got a free month as well). So I already got this month's december humble choice. I've then paused my subscription (12 months left) and used this coupon on an older account (since at the beginning it didn't require a new subscription).
Downside: I got december twice.
But it provided me games to trade with and I was able to trade overcooked 2 + dlcs for .hack//g.u. last recode which I've been wanting for months. So still a win for me. Still have 13 games I can trade for missing humble choice or bundles I didn't get.
Also, I'm set for a year and a half of humble choice subscription. Just need to remember to go pause on the other account every month and I"m good to go. Thank you for sharing the coupon!

Thanks for this, fewer gems amongst the trash nowadays sadly but if nothing else it's a load of GAs that'll make someone happy. Cheers.

This promotion is working on a per month basis, it doesn't charge the whole 6 months upfront so you can cancel at any time, if you cancel/pause during the first 6 months, you just lose the promotion (ie, you bought first month for 6$ and paused the 2nd, this promotion would end and you would go back to the default subscription)
note that I don't know what sub a person goes "back" to.

Damn I got the Black Friday deal, wish I had waited for this one!

I did this with paypal because my CC was having troubles with HB. You just need to make paypal your default payment method.
If their payment charge fails, they generally send you a notice and ask you to provide another payment method, if you are concerned they might cancel your sub right away, you can just make an effort to not run out of funds :p

Your Month-to-Month Premium Plan order is being reviewed for accuracy
A member of our support team needs to verify the information and will complete the order as soon as it is resolved.
Maybe because i am inactive since 2017...?

I tried unpausing but it didn't work. Some have had success canceling and subscribing again but since the classic plan is not available anymore, that sounds like a big HB scam so I guess I'll stay paused.
Guess I could get my gf to use her account to sub just for that. Might be much ado about nothing though.

Ok my ticket might take a while to be answered, the automated response mentioned how their offices are closed for the holidays and that will affect the reviewing of tickets. And since i'm a proud member of Impatient Anonymous, i decided to unpause my classic month-to-month sub and proceed with payment. Well, it makes it pretty clear that you stay on your month-to-month classic plan even after the 6 months period. You just return to your normal double price. And you don't have to pay the whole price at once, just need to pay each and every of those 6 months if you want to keep the discount. I know some of these mentioned already, just posting my whole experience. Anyway, so it's +1 from me that it's totally safe to use the offer without worrying about losing your classic plan.

I'm not entirely sure what you did here. So you unpaused your classic plan and payed 12 for the december bundle and got the deal to activate?
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah. Well, you're one of the lucky ones, then. If I unpause, I still can't get the deal and it tries to charge me $12 for december.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm well it's nice that you got confirmation. I must've missed where it said it'll go back to original price (or they only tell you after confirming purchase? I stopped right before pressing 'pay now'), all I could find was "Subsequent months will be billed at $21.58/month".
Comment has been collapsed.
Not sure now, but i think it was at the preview of the email after purchase, where it says to choose your games.
Btw support replied to me before a couple of hours or so with the following: "The promotion is $6 USD a month to subscribe to Humble Classic for 6 months. If you chose to stay subscribed beyond the 6 Months the price will return to $12 per month."
That automated response scared me, i didn't expect them to reply that fast.

I wasn't sure on this response, it felt like something was off because of the recurring subscription price on payment page, but I read the FAQ and it says "As long as you don't cancel your subscription after the launch of Humble Choice you will retain the Classic plan.". So I think everything's ok.

The link wouldn't work for me saying I had an active plan, yet somehow when I then looked at my renewal amount in 2 days, it said $6 and the price breakdown had me already signed up for the 6 months at $6 rate. I'm not sure how it happened, but anyone else getting the error may want to see if they're somehow on the plan too!

Have banner "LIMITED TIME: $6 USD a month to subscribe to Humble Choice Premium for 6 months. Ends January 1, 2021 at 9:59:59 AM PST." but have "Sorry, as an active subscriber you cannot currently purchase a different subscription plan." not good...

6$ is nothing, even if i need buy all 6 months, there will be at least some games for giveaways.. Bought literally every monthly until 2019 nov, then stopped, this will bring me back. But ill stop after the 6 months, not going to pay 18$ for these bundles, for that price i can buy the 1-2 game interest me during sales and that way at least that developer gets the whole (-30%) money who created my wishlisted game.

That’s one hell of a deal if I ever saw one, currently using the $8 for 6 months coupon (which I already thought was a great deal), probably going to cancel that and get this instead.
Note: You will lose the discount if you pause a month.
