How to unlock this discount
Log in to your ExpressVPN account at expressvpn.com and go to 'My Subscription' or 'Subscription Settings'
Click 'Manage Settings' or 'Turn off automatic renewal'
When prompted with 'Why are you leaving?', select 'It's too expensive' or 'Price' as your reason — this triggers the retention offer path
Decline the first screen that may simply encourage you to stay (e.g. 'Are you sure?') and proceed to the next prompt
You should now see a discounted retention offer — typically a percentage off your renewal or bonus months free
Click 'Accept Offer' or 'Claim Discount' to apply the retention deal to your account and keep your subscription active at the reduced rate
Insider Tips
Always select 'too expensive' or 'price' as your cancellation reason — this is the trigger for monetary retention offers. If the first offer is just bonus months, decline it
a second, better offer (usually a direct price reduction) may appear. Some users report success mentioning competitors like NordVPN or Surfshark in the optional feedback box. Try this close to your renewal date for the best leverage. If you're on live chat with support instead, explicitly say you're considering switching to a cheaper competitor — agents have discretion to offer deeper discounts. If no offer appears on the first attempt, complete the cancellation and wait 24–48 hours
ExpressVPN often sends a 'win-back' email with a steep discount
