For folks who aren't aware of idrive, and too lazy to click on the link to find out - this is some kind of online storage service like dropbox etc. They offer plans like 5 TB of cloud backup $6.95 for the first year.

Didn't work for me but thanks anyway. My pop-up had no discount offer. I have the 1TB plan at $70, maybe offer is for other plans only.

Even if you can't get this to work, they'll likely still send a ton of offers via email trying to win you back if you ever look like you're going to quit. They did when I used it at least.

This is still working. Saved me 50% off the renewal for the 5TB Personal plan. Thanks!

Trying this now but I don't have the option to disable auto-renewal (possibly because my credit card on file had expired). I get an "Update Credit Card" section but I'm afraid if I do that it'll just charge me at the full price. I do see a "cancel my account" link at the very bottom of the page but the pop up that comes up when I click that is not offering me 50% off.

Received the renewal email last week and found this write up on SD. Amazingly these instructions still worked perfectly as of 6/23/19. Saved me 50% / $34. Great job OP!

Thank you for posting this, just worked for me! Saved $34.75! FWIW, I tried this a few months ago, and the 50% offer wasn't there. I wonder if you have to get closer to your renewal date for it to show up.

I tried this and it did indeed save me 50% for this year with my 5TB plan. However, I no longer am enrolled in auto-renewal, so I have to remember to renew in a year. Has anyone else had this happen? Do you know how to reenable the auto renew setting?
