When I was on the phone setting up my 2 year value plan renewal, the agent was telling me that if I had an existing Disney+ account, I could "pause" that and use the Shaw promotion. Effectively adding two years to my subscription. Part of why I decided to go with the plan was due to the monthly savings it would give on my disney+ sub.

But - this doesn't seem to case. It says I already have a Disney+ account (which I do). And on the Disney+ support site, it basically says this type of promotion won't work for people who already have a subscription (I have prepaid my D+ for 1 year).

This is mostly a post to let people (and Shaw?) know about how this does and does not work. I feel a bit misled, but presumably the call agent simply didn't know better.
