APB: Reloaded's open beta kicked off on Monday, and the first batch of premium players will soon get reminder emails that their first 30 days are almost up. During the beta period, the cost of premium is $9.99 per month, which gives you all sorts of perks, including a 20% item purchase discount. It turns out you can use that discount to renew your premium for only $7.99 per month! Here are the details from the APB: Reloaded blog:

"Thanks to this discount when Premium Players re-up (adds 30 additional premium days) before the end of his/her premium period, those premium extensions get an automatic 20% off (!) off the Beta $9.99 price.

The result is that premium renewals are only $7.99 in the US, £4.99 in the UK and €5.99 in Europe. And - any benefits that you accrue, including standing, achievements, customizations, permanent items or permanent weapons you buy during Open Beta carry over to the live production launch of the game as well."
