In order to enjoy all the fascinating and exciting content on Bilibili, many users often consider signing up for membership. However, when faced with the different prices of big membership and super membership, how to choose the most money-saving plan becomes a real problem before them.
Understand the core differences of membership
Bilibili’s basic paid service includes premium membership, which mainly brings benefits from the perspective of movie viewing. It allows you to watch many paid movies, TV series and dramas on the site for free, enjoy high-definition picture quality of more than 1080P, and watch some serialized animation contents in advance.
Compared with the big membership, the super membership has been comprehensively upgraded based on all its functions. It adds more film and television content with exclusive copyrights, and also provides exclusive customer service channels. More importantly, it covers the reading rights of comics on station B, as well as free comic reading coupons every month. For those users who have both the need to read comics and comics, its value is even more prominent.
Assess your actual needs
Before proceeding with the purchase, you must first clearly define your usage scenarios. If you mainly use it for the purpose of catching up on comics and watching movies, rather than frequently using the comics and live streaming functions of Station B, then the benefits of the premium membership are enough to cover your core needs.
If your application range is broader, you not only watch videos but also frequently read serials on Bilibili’s comics platform, and you also participate in live broadcast interactions and are eager to obtain fan medals to speed up the process, then the packaged benefits provided by super members will be more suitable for you. Overall, it may be more affordable than purchasing various services separately.
Pay attention to the official promotion nodes
At some specific points in time, Bilibili itself will launch considerable promotional activities, such as the annual 618, Double Ten Fallacy, and Bilibili’s unique “Anniversary” period. Officials will generally directly reduce the price of membership packages or launch “buy and give” activities.
Before long holidays such as the Spring Festival and National Day are approaching, Station B may launch limited-time offers in order to meet users’ entertainment needs. Subscribe to the official social media account of Bilibili or turn on App notifications. Doing so will help you get these promotional information in a timely manner.
Take Advantage of Joint Membership Packages
In recent years, Bilibili has often carried out joint membership-related activities with other Internet platforms. For example, it has bundled sales with brands such as Baidu Netdisk, Zhihu, and Ele.me. Users can get memberships to both platforms at the same time for a total price.
The converted price of this type of package is often far lower than the price required to purchase a Bilibili membership alone. Even if your demand for the cooperative platform is not very strong, you can still treat it as a gift, which will significantly reduce the purchase cost of Bilibili members.
Compare third-party channel prices
On e-commerce platforms such as Taobao and JD.com, there are a large number of stores selling Bilibili members. These stores are not official channels. By hoarding event cards and coupons, they can usually sell members at a price lower than the official price. The annual card discount is particularly obvious.
When purchasing from a third party, you should choose a store with high reputation standards, a store that has been open for a long time, and good reviews from consumers. Priority should be given to those "recharge" services that require you to provide your Bilibili account number and password and recharge directly through the seller. In this case, compared with purchasing the card code and then redeeming it yourself, the security is relatively higher.
Cost advantages of long-term subscription
In terms of unit price, the longer the membership purchase cycle, the lower the average daily cost will be. There is a price difference ratio for the monthly card of Station B members, there is a price difference ratio for the quarterly card of Station B members, and there is a price difference ratio for the annual card of Station B members. There is an obvious price difference ratio between the three, and usually the annual card is the most economical option.
Assuming that you are sure that you will continue to use Bilibili for a long time, then purchasing an annual card in one go can save you the greatest extent. Even for the so-called super members, the average monthly expenditure of an annual card is far lower than that of a monthly card subscribed for twelve consecutive months. This is undoubtedly the most direct way to save money.
When you buy a Bilibili membership, do you prefer to wait for large-scale promotions, or do you choose to activate it at any time because you need it immediately? Please share your money-saving experience in the comment area. If you find this article helpful, please give it a like and support.
