Deal Details
This deal is real.

Go to GoPro, add the "Hero 9 plus subscription" below to your cart. It is the "Save $220 on
HERO9 Black" deal.

https://gopro.com/en/us/shop/came...aster.html

It will add to the cart for a higher price like $349.98. Then it will add more as it incorrectly calculates your local tax. Then complete the sale at the higher price.

You will see a pre-charge on whatever card you used for like $330. Also incorrect! But when they ship it, usually the same day, the total will come out to $299.99 + your local tax.

I know this works because both me and a friend of mine ordered this and both had the exact same results. I also talked with GoPro customer support who confirmed that there is a problem with the ordering system.

Here is my receipt (attached) that was mailed to me:

I think they charge you $49.99 for subscription separately.

Exactly... I ordered mine when they came out and thought they messed up cause the charge was less on my card. But there is a second charge that will come to make it right.

This has been the deal since October 2020. You'll get charged 49.99 for the membership in a few days in a separate transaction. You also got the floating handle and the magnetic swivel clip back in October last year.

299+49 for the camera bundle and the subscription. OP was charged 299 for the bundle and will get charged 49 for the subscription in a few days.

Sounds like Apple Card is exactly designed for this!

My original joke was about when Apple Card first came out they had issue accessing the credit history, so many users, even with good history, only got $250 credit line.
But yours makes more sense, change the Apple Card number soon after it ships, or do something similar with privacy card.
Darn, it got layers :-)

I'll take you guys word for it that I am going to get billed for the annual subscription. But I don't see how they can come back now and do it. It shows as a line item for $0 on the receipt. It also is in the ad as included in the deal. I will report back if I get billed though.

IF you were to get charged, then no. Their subscription terms state you can cancel at anytime but will not receive a refund for any unused time. Once you cancel, the subscription will continue until that paid period is over.
