How to Upgrade a Monthly Subscription to a Yearly Subscription

Updated on

At any point, you can upgrade your student's Beast Academy Online (BA Online) subscription type from an active Monthly Subscription to a Yearly Subscription. Your student's progress and history will be saved and accessible through their upgraded subscription.

This guide covers how to upgrade your student's active Monthly Subscription to a Yearly Subscription.

Before placing your order, ensure the following:

  • You'd like to order a Yearly Subscription and don't need a full level of printed books
    • If you do wish to upgrade your Monthly Subscription to a 1-year subscription with a new level set of books, you can take advantage of the Bundle discount by upgrading to a Bundle instead

Upgrading your Monthly Subscription to a Yearly Subscription will automatically apply your most recent monthly payment (one month only) toward the cost of your Yearly Subscription and extend the expiration date one year past the date of your most recent payment. For example, if you were charged your monthly renewal fee on July 1 and upgraded to a Yearly Subscription on July 29, your Yearly Subscription will start counting on July 1.

On your Parent Account page:

  1. Locate the student subscription you'd like to upgrade
  2. Select Upgrade Subscription

Note: If you see a button that says Activate under your student's subscription settings, your student's subscription is inactive or expired. Instead of upgrading, you can activate their subscription as a Yearly Subscription.

3. Select Yearly Subscription

On the Subscribe page:

  1. Select Yearly
  2. Note the billing and renewal schedule
  3. Select Continue

Note:

  • Your most recent monthly payment will be applied to the cost of your Yearly Subscription
  • If you have another active Yearly Subscription, your most recent monthly payment will be applied to the discounted sibling rate ($64.99) for the Yearly Subscription (typically $99.99)

Once you place your order:

  • Your payment method will be charged
  • A sales receipt will be sent to the email associated with your Parent Account
  • Your student's subscription will be extended one year past your most recent billing date

Note: If you'd like to upgrade more than one Student Subscription, you'll need to follow the above steps to upgrade each student individually.
