In a time of high inflation, high rents, and high wages, they have increased the price by $20.99USD per year.  This works out to be an increase of $1.75USD per month. 

 

$1.75USD is 60 baht a month, which is less then one small beer in a bar, all over Thailand, per month.

 

I have always said, you get what you pay for with VPN's, and not all VPN's are made equally. 

 

If you are familiar with the PIA user interface, and billing system, and the company has served you well in the past, you might reconsider and just pay the extra money. 

 

Yes, there are cheaper VPN's on the market, but when you do some research, you will find they are cheap for a reason. 

 

...or he could just do what was suggested earlier; letting it lapse and awaiting a new offer or simple opening a new account with the same company for less. It pays to take note of what was written before.

That means he would be without the use of a VPN UNTIL and IF the company ever makes a new offer, and should he decide to use a new email address to make a new account, how will he pay? 

 

They are not that stupid that they do not cross reference payment details.  I suppose he could use his spouse's card, or a friend or family's card, maybe even anonymous crypto, but what a tangled web one would weave in order to save a lousy 60 baht a month. 

 

It pays to look at the bigger picture.
