The $149 covers a year of classes and you get one subscription to "gift". That gift subscription is valid for 6 months, not one year. Most people here can knock out all the classes in 6 months of less so the 6 month restriction isn't a big deal.
The actual link for the offer is here:
https://www.sophia.org/special-offer, but it’s pretty vague as far as terms & conditions go. I’d obviously take the word of a Sophia rep over the little information that the link gives, but I read it as though it’s truly BOGO for the whole year, & just the offer code expires after 6 months if not used. I don’t know.

I agree; that's how I read it as well. If it's only 6 months then that should be stated. 6 months is still generous but it does sound like it's a full year for both.

I agree the wording is vague so I wanted to have it clarified directly from Sophia.

“ALMOST too good to be true!”
Still a great deal, but lol. I suppose the wording -IS- indeed too good to be true. Thanks for digging that up.

You are welcome!
Except the 2 English Comp classes, these classes are easy enough to be done in a few days to a few weeks, depending on your previous knowledge and time commitment.

I’m about to, I’ll PM you.
Just for the thread & recent discussion clarification: I just purchased the year (hey, better than $79 monthly) & it IS one free year membership that comes with the purchase. The code is only valid for 6 months if not used. Here’s the exact email wording:
“Thank you for your Sophia membership. Here is a code to redeem a free membership.
Simply share this email with a loved one and they will get one free year of on demand access to Sophia’s entire catalog of ACE Credit
-recommended courses to help them reach their educational goals. “
Just wanted to let everyone know!

I think PM's are disabled by default when you sign up?
