The last time there was a gift, I had three months left but still had to 'upgrade' to get the gift. It wasn't cheap but luckily I managed to complain successfully to receive a bit of a refund. I don't want to cough up more money this time because this gift is frankly not worth it, however there is the prospect of tour dates next year and may be needing the subscription for presales.
The presales and ranking system they used last time around on the 360 tour is virtually the only reason I renew every year.
