Just as I suspected. Lets see what people are willing to pay then we will charge them all that!

My thoughts exactly. Even T****'s don't do that! (Though knowing them I'm sure if it is legal they will soon!) 'Sorry Madam, we offered that carton of juice to you for 95p but we've decided that we are price testing at the moment so we're going to charge you £1.30. If you don't complain we'll increase the price for everyone.' Every little helps. Perhaps I should 'Price test' in my shop, at least my profits are for charity.

Just putting their toe in the water to see how we react to another price rise. However, I do hope no-one went ahead and renewed yesterday. I bet they'll have fun trying to get a refund.

What on earth is 'price testing'? Trying it out to judge the reaction to see just how much people will pay? What sort of way is that, to do business? Christine in NZ

Thank you, Janet. I remember when they did 'price testing' before.

Thanks for your email J****, We were carrying out price testing on the site yesterday, which is why you may have seen a different amount if you went to the upgrade area. I can confirm that the fee for members renewing their membership is still currently £9.95 Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Best regards, J**** The Genes Support Team
