I'm interested in buying a Lifetime Subscription while it's on sale. I've been playing for a few years, and I came here through Steam. I didn't think that the Lifetime Subscription was available to players who log in through Steam, but now I see it is available to purchase through the Zen Store using my Steam Wallet. So yay, but the Zen Store doesn't show the sale price. Does this mean it's not on sale for players who log in through Steam? How can I purchase this with the sale price?

To purchase a Star Trek Online (STO) lifetime subscription through Steam, you'll need to link your Steam account to an Arc account. You can then purchase the subscription through the Arc website, not through the Steam store itself. If you already have a Steam account, you may need to contact Arc support to link your accounts.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Create an Arc Account:
If you haven't already, create an Arc account.
2. Link Accounts:
You'll need to link your Arc account to your Steam account. This may require contacting Arc support.
3. Purchase Through Arc:
Once linked, you can purchase the lifetime subscription through the Arc website.
4. Steam and Arc:
Be aware that if you created your STO account through Steam, it may not be directly linked to an Arc account, and you might need to contact support to link them, according to some users.
5. Lifetime Subscription Benefits:
The lifetime subscription grants you Gold member status, exclusive species unlocks, access to all Veteran Rewards, and priority login, according to Star Trek Online.
Important Notes:
The lifetime subscription is not available for purchase through the Steam store directly.
You may need to contact Arc support to link your accounts if you are playing through Steam.
Be aware that subscription fees are non-refundable, according to Star Trek Online.
My son has been trying to add Lifetime to his Epic Games STO account since yesterday. I've been trying to help him but the new purchase button in the Zen Store just keeps throwing "Invalid purchase request" error
I've had a LTS on PC since 2014, but at this point I'd say it's at the bottom of the list of things to buy -- something like the 10th Anniversary bundle of legendary ships has a lot more value now.
- Auto-refine of dil is nice, but you can spend $5 cash and get 250,000 dil.
- Respec tokens can be bought.
- The ships are decent, but outclassed by newer ships especially Legendary ones.
- The captain's table is bare and empty.
There's no other way to get the fireworks, but kind of expensive just for that.
Ok, the Lifetime Subscription button in the Zen Store for Steam shows the sale price now. One of the main reasons I'm thinking of buying this though is the monthly Zen stipend on PC. Is this still a thing? I don't see it listed on the Arc Games list of things you get as a Lifetime Subscriber. If they've stopped offering the monthly Zen, then I'm definitely not interested.
do NOT buy the LTS through Steam, it does NOT come with the 500 Zen monthly stipend, even though it is advertised as included on the STO website, the stipend is MISSING from the list of benefits if you buy it in-game. This sort of bait and switch is illegal in the EU but Cryptic/DECA do not care and will ban your account entirely if you request a refund. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Yes, a Lifetime Subscription (LTS) for Star Trek Online (STO) on Steam comes with a monthly stipend, but it's only available to PC players. Specifically, PC players receive a 500 Zen stipend each month. This stipend is not available on console versions of the game.
AS STATED THE STIPEND IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO PC PLAYERS AND NOT CONSOLE PLAYERS. THE MONTHLY STIPEND HAS NEVER BEEN AVAILABLE TO CONSOLE PLAYERS.
no, it is not included in the Steam purchasable LTS on PC. You can't use Steam on the consoles, only on PC, so your interjection is useless anyway. The stipend is not included in the list of benefits you get from LTS if you buy it off steam, it comes with different benefits instead. you will NOT get the stipend if you buy it in-game on PC using Steam purchases

Support is refusing to link accounts these days.
Actually there is a button on the Steam zen store now but the price is not discounted.
