Thanks. This was the conclusion I was coming to, since I haven't found any mention of such anywhere, and there is no way to gift a subscription and the subscription flow has no place to enter a coupon code or anything...
Subscriptions almost never go on sale, from any business that employs them. There are occasionally "introductory deals", which are actively venomous and deeply anti-consumer traps, but fortunately DDB has never employed such underhanded tactics. The subscriptions are deeply annoying, but they're also not terribly priced. The cost of one hardcover book nets a years' Master-tier service, or two years Hero-tier. if you never plan to engage in multiple campaigns with multiple groups, there's no real need for anyone save one poor schlub in your player group to pay for anything but Hero tier.
I know books will be on sale next week, but do the subscriptions ever go on sale?
Since I joined Beyond two years ago, I do not think I have ever seen subscription going on sale.

I guess I may as well be the poor schlub!
