TIDAL on SALE!

Thanks for the heads-up!

I've had both Tidal and QOBUZ for a year, but was thinking of dropping Tidal to save a few bucks.  Well you just solved my problem!  Thanks Mofi.

Jumped on this offer when I saw it mentioned here this morning in this thread.  Would’ve held out for Qobuz (tight budget these days!) but just got a Node 2i last week and couldn’t pass this up at this price.

Really enjoying it!!

Am I missing something, or is this a Best Buy?

That's the way I read it.  That's why I posted it.

Seems like a no-brainer for someone wanting to get into Tidal at a great price.

+1

The BestBuy promo sale (today) is:

12 months @ $49.99 for Tidal HiFi (highest tier) and the offer says it auto-renews for $119.99/yr.

12 months @ $39.99 for Tidal Premium (lower tier) and it auto-renews for $79.99/yr.

That seems like a great promo price and also a great renewal price. Seems like a no-brainer for someone wanting to get into Tidal at a great price.

Thanks, apparently what I was looking at is quality levels/tiers and not subscription tiers. I went to Tidal.com and, just under ‘elevate your sound’ it shows the 3 quality levels which I mistakenly correlated to subscription levels. I have the highest level and enjoy it very much.

Sorry for causing any confusion but I have to admit to still not understanding this, which is what reubent was questioning in the first place - the Best Buy link for the sale shows ‘HiFi’ with the auto renewal price being $119 for 12 months - this would seem to indicate the lower level subscription at $9.99 per month since 12 months at $19.99/month comes to $240.

Correct. The "HiFi" tier support both hi-fi file resolution, as well as Master file resolution (MQA).

Here, straight from Tidal, the info:

https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003662825-Subscription-Types

There are only two tiers, Premium & HiFi.

If you go to Tidal.com and scroll down a little it lists Master, HiFi and Standard as the levels of quality in decreasing order.

They appear to be hurting for business. Over the holidays they ran $5 promo for five months. I dumped them a year ago....Qobuz is currently the best streaming service in US for a bargain price of $149.99 / 12 months. 

Tidal's standard tier is called "Premium". The tier that supports hi-res MQA is called "HiFi". That's what I saw on their website. 

Regular price for premium is $9.99/mo. Regular price for HiFi" is $19.99.

Someone who has the high tier Tidal subscription, please correct me if I am wrong.

This appears to be their ‘HiFi’ tier and not their highest, ‘Master’ tier.

Interesting. The offer also says it auto-renews at $119.99/year. That's 1/2 off the regular price, correct?
