I recently bought the Envy 5020 printer to make use of the 3 month printing trial.
I did not realise that I had to select a payment option to prompt this promotion and have only realised that today when I have received a warning that I am near my 15page free print limit.
I enrolled the printer on 17 April 2018. If I upgrade today, can I still obtain the 3 month trial?
Appreciate any help on this today before my 7 days expires tonight.
Thanks

As you have read in the Terms of Service document, the "Free Pinting Plan" has some advantages along with lots of restictions.
Example:
HP Instant Ink - USA - Terms of Service
Lots of important information and definitions, including:
# 4: Printer Needs to be Connected to Internet
# 5: INSTANT INK PROGRAM CARTRIDGES PROVIDED TO YOU (Read this one!)
And
# 6: INSTANT INK PROGRAM CARTRIDGES MUST BE RETURNED TO HP BY YOU (Read this one!)
# 7: Service Plans -- What is a page? (Read this one!)
# 8: Rollover Pages
#13: Customer Support Center -- Cloud Services Contact Phone Number and online contact link
#15: Cancellation
#16: Fifteen (15)-Free-Pages-Per-Month Program
I would "guess" that you cannot backtrack to take advantage of the "free" trial.
However, I am not an Instant Ink representative -- I recommend that you contact HP / Instant Ink Support in your region and speak with support staff.
