+dibbler69 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Whats changed? I dont notice any difference. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Whats changed? I dont notice any difference. I think this is referring to the fact that if you now browse to someones profile page there's a link on there for you to buy them a Groundspeak 'gift voucher' to buy them premium membership. So click on MartyBartfast on the left, then click the "Extend MartyBartfasts membership" link, stick in your credit card details and I get a years free membership (I think).

lakeuk Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Not noticed till mentioned here, will this result in some caches being placed with a FTF prize of a gift voucher, although £18 abit steep for a prize Quote Link to comment
+Jacobite Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I spotted this last night while browsing through member profiles, and thought the member was having a laugh by adding it themselves. See! GSP does have a sense of humour Quote Link to comment

+The Hornet Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Does anyone know if it's possible to decline the gift if someone sends it? Quote Link to comment
+Munkeh Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Does anyone know if it's possible to decline the gift if someone sends it? apparently not apparently your not able to decide how you manage to fund your account, if at all Quote Link to comment
lakeuk Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Does anyone know if it's possible to decline the gift if someone sends it? Could be problematic for anyone doing a council tax style protest In protest of x y z I will not renew my premium membership only to find someone has paid for it on your behalf Quote Link to comment
+currykev Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've now "unticked" the "Inform me of new features and changes to the web site" box on my profile page. As GC.com don't seem to use it anyway. Quote Link to comment
+NickandAliandEliza Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Can someone gift me a membership starting next December? Just to see if the link works of course........ Quote Link to comment
Chudley Cannons Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Can someone gift me a membership starting next December? Just to see if the link works of course........ I thought about it. Bit I'm saving up to buy you an iPhone. Quote Link to comment

Bit I'm saving up to buy you an iPhone. Cool . That's extraordinarily generous considering you'll also have to buy me out of my T-Mobile G1 contract! Quote Link to comment
+Jacobite Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Does anyone know if it's possible to decline the gift if someone sends it? I've asked this question on the other thread. I would hope the answer was yes, as I'd not be happy with anyone changing the status of my account without my consent. Quote Link to comment
+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) What a carry on My PM runs out in 23 days if anyone wants to pay it for me I have no problem at all Especially with the exchange rate at the moment, I checked it last night 30 dollars is £20.56, I think it was only £15.00 last year M Edited January 16, 2009 by Us 4 and Jess Quote Link to comment
