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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Ditto TS.....my sentiments entirely

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?

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 :-)
