Yes, paying for Twibbonize Premium doesn't stop you from applying for Premium Creator for Education. Here's how the two work together, depending on your situation.
How your grant interacts with a paid plan
Your situation | What happens
|
You already pay for Premium Creator by card | No refund for your current period. Your grant is created but starts only after your paid period ends. |
You already pay for Premium Creator through an app store | No refund for your current period. Twibbonize can't cancel an app store subscription for you, so cancel it yourself in your store settings. Your grant starts once the store confirms your paid period has ended. |
You already pay for Premium Creator through Durianpay | No refund for your current period. Your grant starts once your paid period ends. |
You already pay for Premium Supporter | Your grant starts immediately, and you're served Premium Creator features. Your Supporter billing continues as normal, with no refund. |
You buy paid Premium Creator while already holding a grant | Your grant pauses and resumes for its remaining time once your paid plan ends. |
You buy paid Premium Supporter while already holding a grant | Your grant continues without any change, since it already covers the higher tier. |
You have an active Watermark Removal Pass while holding a grant | No interaction. Both remove watermarks, so there's nothing to reconcile. |
If your grant pauses while you’re on a paid plan, the pause doesn’t extend your grant. The 4-year window and the 4 grant periods still count from your original approval date, not from when your grant resumes. See How long can I keep Premium Creator for Education? for how these limits work. Keep this in mind before buying a paid plan while holding a grant.
