I've got until Wednesday next week to consider this.
I have two choices:
1) spend $36 more than usual ($48), but get permanent access to something
2) spend the same as usual ($12), but only get temporary access to it
I want to do the first one (especially since in order to afford it I just need to have less junk food), but I'm not sure "spending more money to get something I can access with my subscription" is a good idea
