Hi - 

 

I need to add a few more cameras (more than 5) than the basic plan supports so I decided to upgrade to the Premier plan for $100/year.  However, each time I enter my billing information I'm presented with a broken confirmation page that shows variables for most of the values like "Order Total: ${ordertotalstr}".  If I try to continue (hit purchase), it sits there for a few seconds and then gives me the orange banner saying "we cannot change your plan at this time".

 

Here's what the confirmation page looks like:

 

undefined

 

My CC and billing info ends up being saved to my profile, but my plan never switches from basic to premier.  My CC is not charged, either.

 

Same thing happens if I try this from the mobile app on Android (showing the orange banner):

 

undefined

 

Is purchasing broken, at the moment?  I tried two different credit cards from two different banks and I get the same results.

Does seem like a server problem. Try contacting support.

I'm having the same problem. Can't get anyone chat. Can't get a phone number. What is up? I'm trying to give you money.

I tried investigating the "support" route the other day and again, now.  The following page

 

https://www.arlo.com/en-us/support/contact.aspx

 

.. does not show an option to start a chat.  Perhaps it's just always unavailable at the times I'm trying.  I actually think I remember seeing it awhile back when browsing the site.

 

Upon entering my credentials under "drop us a line", I get:

 

"Error. An error occurred while processing your request."

 

Phone support is not free outside of the 90 day window, as stated on the page.  There's no way I'm going to spend money in order to spend more money.

 

There seems to be much fail here on NETGEAR's part.  It seems my only option here is to wait it out and see if any employees notice this thread and take the initiative to open an internal IT support ticket.  I suppose there's always the Twitter route, but I'm not interested in persuing that.

Srinivaspatri,

 

What issue are you experiencing with subscriptions? The fix being referred to in this thread has already be deployed and resolved. Are you still experiencing an issue when attempting to upgrade your subscription plan?
