Thanks for confirming that the one year free subscription kicks in after the 30 day trial if it indeed that is true. 13 free months is definitely a lot better than 1 or 12 months.ExecMemberMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388549180480657996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576180706756831838.post-10506052425729242232017-04-15T10:31:33.046-07:002017-04-15T10:31:33.046-07:00I had called the Costco Concierge Services and the...I had called the Costco Concierge Services and they have only limited support for the Ring Video Doorbell, which doesn't include the 1 year subscription. They suggested to call Ring directly at 1-800-656-1918. I was told that the 1 year subscription should automatically start after the 30 day trial completes. As each device has its own MAC Address, Ring should have the list of devices that they had sent to Costco. We wait and see what happens when the trial completes.Matthew Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08283918988399746795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576180706756831838.post-29954101506534866712017-04-15T09:07:56.478-07:002017-04-15T09:07:56.478-07:00I just purchased the ring doorbell at costco and i...I just purchased the ring doorbell at costco and installed it.

The one I spotted at Costco was well over a year ago, so maybe things have changed since I last saw it. That's the only reason I can come up with as to why you only got 30 days instead of 1 year. It's not uncommon for subtle changes to occur on seemingly similar items.ExecMemberMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388549180480657996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576180706756831838.post-22461203229061156932017-04-01T10:40:04.633-07:002017-04-01T10:40:04.633-07:00I just set mine up.

I'm sure many people who bought the Ring Video Doorbell and Wireless Chime will find this information quite useful and it should clear up some confusion. I'm guessing that you only have to submit your credit card information only if you want to continue with the subscription beyond one year. If not, I assume the subscription just gets cancelled once the year is up.ExecMemberMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388549180480657996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576180706756831838.post-90912079755460756452017-02-26T17:04:13.010-08:002017-02-26T17:04:13.010-08:00I just installed and setup my Ring a few minutes a...I just installed and setup my Ring a few minutes ago and also wondered how to activate the 1 year subscription. Googled it and found your page. Logged into my newly created account on ring.com, click on Plan, and under Devices On My Plan it says "Billing starts after your trial ends in 364 days." So it looks automatic. Now I'm wondering if I have to give it a credit card now or before the years up?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574117671648535269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576180706756831838.post-25487671414154689112016-12-14T08:34:42.424-08:002016-12-14T08:34:42.424-08:00Hello @Anonymous, thanks for sharing your experien...Hello @Anonymous, thanks for sharing your experience with the Ring Video Doorbell and Wireless Chime. I just hate it when you can't get any help because the responsible parties involved end up pointing to each other claiming that the other party is responsible. This happens all the time not just with this doorbell but other things as well, and it's just unacceptable.

Perhaps the one that you got didn't come with a free trial. That's the only reason I can think of as to why you didn't get a free trial, but I could be wrong of course if you did indeed get the same Ring Video Doorbell and Wireless Chime that I saw at Costco.ExecMemberMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388549180480657996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576180706756831838.post-3473230707939424732016-09-02T16:22:43.101-07:002016-09-02T16:22:43.101-07:00Did you check your account in the app?

So if you bought one from Costco that shows free 1 year subscription, you need to install their app and add in the Ring Doorbell to the list of devices. It may take 24 hours for this to register and show the 1 year free trial period...<br />This brings up a big question, since this shows up as a trial period do we get 100% functionality, cloud storage, device updates like as it was a paid subscription?

Went back to a different local Costco and they had it for $10 more. The Costco worker there said it was a 'different newer model.' It's totally not, he was completely wrong. But it did have a sticker on the box that said it now includes 1 year of cloud recording. That is nice, a $30 value. I purchased it but haven't figured out how to get the 1 year yet. This item is #1068614, so it registers differently. Anyone else with experience?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
