Yes! Your Platinum benefits start as soon as you upgrade. How you’re billed depends on your device.
On iPhone (App Store)
- What you pay today: The full price of your new Platinum plan.
- Apple refunds unused portion of your Premium plan within a few business days
- Your billing date changes to the day you upgraded and your Platinum renews from that date.
Example: You’re 10 days into a 30-day Premium plan when you upgrade to Platinum. You pay the full Platinum price today. Apple then refunds about 20 days’ worth of Premium. Your next renewal is 30 days from your upgrade date.
Seeing two transactions on iPhone is expected. One is the Platinum charge and the other is the Premium refund. If the refund hasn’t arrived after 7 business days, check your purchase history or contact Apple Support.
On Android (Google Play)
- What you pay today: Only the difference between Premium and Platinum for the days left in your current billing period.
- Your billing date doesn’t change. Your subscription continues to renew from that day.
Example: You’re 10 days into a 30-day Premium plan when you upgrade. Today you pay the price difference for the remaining 20 days. On your original renewal date, you’re charged the full Platinum price.
