How the annual plan works
When you purchase an annual plan, you pay upfront for a non-recurring individual subscription. This means your paid membership benefits will end after the 12-month period you paid for. You can purchase up to 24 months of pre-paid access to YouTube Music Premium or YouTube Premium at a given time. To keep access to your benefits, you’ll need to purchase another plan once your membership expires.
Annual plans are not refundable, cannot be paused, and are subject to our travel policy . If you have questions about your annual plan or wish to terminate access before your annual plan expires, get in touch with YouTube Support . Once your access is terminated, you will lose access to your benefits. If you want to report a fraudulent transaction, file a claim here .
