    Did you try clicking the "Buy Now" button at the store when logged in?

    It seems like I never see my discounted prices in the store until I actually add an item to my cart and view it there.. Not optimal.

    Yeah, add to cart and it's $199.
     
    Which is still way too much for a year of updates.   The product works great now, they'll need to add some killer features for me to pay that much.

    Well, if you don't wish to pay for additional updates, I believe Sonar will continue to run at whatever level you had last paid maintenance for.
     
    I bought the lifetime updates, which was an incredibly kind and superb deal, so I don't have to worry about that.
     
    In addition, Sonar has had a bunch of new features and content added over a given 12 months of updates, and it isn't really any different in effect than before, when they would put out some set of maintenance a few times over a single year, and then charge around $200 for a whole new version of Sonar - like X1 becoming X2, becoming X3.  There are folks that stuck with each of those releases and chose not to upgrade for a release or 2, if ever, and their Sonar versions just kept on working at that level for them.  There are still folks running with 8.5,3 who may never choose to upgrade again.
     
    For ME, choosing the one-time charge to get lifetime updates required zero thought on my part - I am also very happy to have made that choice.
     
    And for those that chose to stay at X1 or Platinum's August 2016 level or wherever, if that works for them, cool.
