Just wanted to grab the January Monthly when I've noticed that you get 20$ bonus wallet credit when picking the 12 month plan.
Deal might have been here before, but I missed it/couldn't find it. If I'm wrong, please move to General Discussions.

Asked myself a few questions while deciding to pick that deal:

  1. Can I pause the monthly with the 12-month plan any time (as if I would buy single monthlies), so they count as 12 tokens to get a monthly I want (after the early unlocks are revealed?
  2. Will the plan include the current (January) bundle and can I pause the February one if I don't fancy the early unlocks?
  3. Is the 20$ bonus wallet credit for the store and bundles? Will it expire some time?
  4. I suppose the 10% off the store discount for subsribers doesn't apply when I paused a monthly?!

Thanks in advance for the help. Only ever picked one monthly so I'm a bit confused.

Is the 12 month subscribtion worth it with that deal? (Effectively 112$ instead of 144/132$)

Yes.
No.
Deal is good, but HB/Monthly sucks.

(Effectively 112$ instead of 144/132$

You can apply first month discount to annuals, so it's potentially (10*12)+10.80=130.80 -20credit = $110.80.

If I'm wrong, please move to General Discussions.

KotoR GA inside

I was hoping for a GA from Kotor, not.. oh well, that's nice also. :P

I've never done more than a single monthly, so this is just recollection of hearsay, but I believe you can't pause for more than one consecutive month at a time. I'd be interested in knowing if that isn't the case, myself.

Will the plan include the current (January) bundle and can I pause the February one if I don't fancy the early unlocks?

It'll include whichever bundle is active at the time of your purchase.
You can confirm activation of a monthly at any time after it becomes available, but Humble only puts through an automatic confirmation at 1 week before the bundle live-launches. So you should be able to pause February at any time up till a week before it goes live.

Is the 20$ bonus wallet credit for the store and bundles? Will it expire some time?

For store only. Shouldn't expire.

I suppose the 10% off the store discount for subsribers doesn't apply when I paused a monthly?!

See (red portion of) attached image. [Yes, discount pauses also.]

Thanks for the quick and detailed answers.

I believe you can't pause for more than one consecutive month at a time.

I thought you could actively choose to pause any month. So I could like pick any 12 monthlies I like within the next years.
If someone has some clarity on this subject, I'd be grateful.

All Humble's FAQ has to say about the matter is that it auto-unpauses on the next month. Which IMPLIES you can endlessly pause, but that seems counter-intuitive, and doesn't match the passing commentary I've heard on it. But yeah, it'd be super cool (and rather compelling) if we could endlessly pause it.

Kein Plan ob du dir dessen bewusst bist aber die 112 (Währung) musst du auf einmal zahlen und nicht wie bei der Monatlichen Zahlung jeden Monat.

Ja, ist mir klar. Dennoch danke für den Hinweis.
Bei den aktuellen Zinsraten wäre das ja eh Banane wann man zahlt.

12 x 12=144 Monthly cost for a year
12 x 12=144-12=132 Annual cost when pre-paying 1 year
12 x 12=144-12=132-20=112 Deal for annual plus $20 store credit

Thanks for explaining my maths, haven't felt the need to.
I think it's a great offer, given that one can pick only the monthlies he wants.

I would strongly argue that $20 of HB store credit are not worth $20 :D

Well it saved me some bucks with my recent foray into SimGives and peeps outside of my gifting region. I hate Valve and this crap of not being able to gift whom I please no matter where they live in an ever smaller world :-(

Nobody stops you from stocking Steam Wallet on accounts with high local prices ;p

But again, $20 Steam wallet may also not be worth $20. Not as much of a promo freebie as HB wallet, obviously, but still 'free' card sales and ingame item trading make that too available at better than 1:1 fiat money prices.

Since there is a big chance of receiving crappy games in the monthly bundle, I'd rather not purchase such a long plan. Screw the few cents you save.

It's not really a plan, but a purchase of 12 monthly "tokens", as explained here.

If that is true, it's a good deal, and most people don't even realize it.

Yes. I've done this. Got the first month, then paused for next month (and then regretted it - unlocks were bad, remaining bundle had several wish-listed games)..

Will the plan include the current (January) bundle and can I pause the February one if I don't fancy the early unlocks?

Yes. Just pause before the full bundle reveals, and don't claim the early unlocks.

Is the 20$ bonus wallet credit for the store and bundles? Will it expire some time?

Yes. You can use wallet credit for bundles and store. I don't believe it expires once it is in in your wallet.

I suppose the 10% off the store discount for subsribers doesn't apply when I paused a monthly?!

Correct. But you can possibly pause just before the reveal on 5th (?) and then unpause just after. So you would potentially only miss a couple of days of the discount. I have not tested this yet though.

In my universe, you can't pay bundles with Humble wallet.

TBH I spent my wallet credit straight away, and it never lasts long, so clearly I'm wrong on that one. Thanks for the correction.

I ended up not getting the deal because HB wouldn't accept my credit card (with and witouth paypal).
Support said it's because of some sort of "fraud protection". So yeah, guess they don't want my money then.

Also used Visa which didn't work. I've seen many times, that people have problems paying with CC while it works for all the other online shops.

If you couldn't use Visa, how did you pay for humble monthly ? You have to link a credit card if you want to use paypal right ?

I had my bank account linked from where I used to transfer money from for purchases in € (used the Visa mainly for purchases in $ because of lower fees).

So simply with my paypal balance (which included exchange fee for currency conversion).

Looks like it also gives you $20 if you gift a yearly sub. I don't know if the gift recipient can be an existing customer with an active subscription.

Limited time offer, available for upgrading and new customers for January only. Promotion ends February 2 at 9:59 a.m. Pacific time. $20 USD wallet credit granted after annual plan purchase. Customers who have previously received Humble Wallet funds for subscribing as part of another promotion are ineligible. Wallet credit is only available to customers who purchase an annual subscription between January 26 at 12:00 a.m. to February 2 at 9:59 a.m PT. Promo subject to Humble Bundle Terms of Service. Promo is subject to change.

Where does the $12 coupon come in/from?

Edit:
accounts that have not had HBM and grabbed the Amnesia Collection got a special discount for the yearly sub - $120 instead of $132
