Hi Margee, I hope you know that I was joking :-) if I was you I would have exactly the same views as you. Good luck to you. Really I was just moaning about GR's organised chaos when it comes to subscriptions

Wendy :-)

Gee, Tenerife Sun, I'm sorry if I'm one of those who made you hyperventilate but it's not my fault, honestly. I'm not stupid enough to contact GR and demand that I pay more but I do think that it's greatly unfair how GR discriminates.

I was led to believe that because my subscription came up in May last year when they had the special offer that they renewed my sub for that price, 6 pounds a year.

Now this year they have given me an extra month because of a very small contribution that I made to the WDYTYA board. Now my sub doesn't become due until June. I wonder if the special offer will still be valid?

Ditto TS.....my sentiments entirely

I have had numerous one sided email conversations with GR re my continuous ten + years membership. All to no avail. Like Jax I'm not to bothered by the price, either I pay it or I leave, it's the inconsistency that annoys me.

As we know there have been a few threads about the different prices....including posts from GR themselves, saying everyone will be paying the same......but that was a load of C*** as it didn't happen...

The different prices does not bother me as I started off paying £10 for 6 months which then went down to £7.96 for 6 months.....now I have an annual sub just because I thought they were going to put my 6M sub up to £15.....whether they would of.....I will never know now :-)

It must be annoying for some long time members who have had their subs doubled for no reason at all.

I got a free month last year for posting....... :-D...... then my sub ran out the next day.and that really confused their computer, because they gave me the month plus 50 credits :-D It must have thought I was a new subscriber

Jax I think it is more to do with if they like you or not than when you joined. I joined in 2003 and still paid £19.?? I can't cope with all these people with £6 and £7 memberships they make me hyperventilate and worse :-D :-D :-D. I'm off to lay down in a darkened room for a while.

They must like me then. I paid 7.96 in April & I got an extra month for contributing to WDYTYA
Not that there was much to contribute to this year.

No the lower rates are to do with when you joined and whether they like you or not.

I have had a free month for helping on the WDYTYA board/threads for the last 3 years but my subs are not cheap

I pay a low rate KenSE and haven't helped WDYTYA (or anywhere else where genealogy is concerned)

I renewed on Monday at the continuous price of £7.96 for 12 months, I did have to put in my new card details though & they emailed me as my old card was now invalid.

My rates are the same as Island's.

Could the lower rates have anything to do with helping for WDYTYA?

Yes I got a couple....at least one a couple of weeks before and one after it expired

edit

I got two after it lapsed...A did I know? one... plus the one above....not seeing one before hand but I may have deleted it

Do they send a reminder if you have 'auto renew' off?

I should be getting s renewal warning next week - fingers crossed it is the same price I have been paying.

No, it just says platinum

Brian I'm stuck on 578 only 12 more to go :-D....finished the 260 dreamworld levels this morning

Havnt you got a bit to click that says platinum or standard top left of the screen Graham?

When I click on the link, there is no mention of standard membership

Graham, I quoted Standard membership, as I'm sure Jax and Joy have.

Platinum is a lot more. What does your subs page quote for standard?

Candy Crush..Arrrrgghh... Jax, been on 181 for weeks cant get past it, sending me scranny...
I found Pepper Panic much more to my liking :-D
