+DragonsWest Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 After two days I was suffering serious withdrawal, so I re-upped this morning. It's good to be back int he saddle. What did I miss? - PQs (very, very much) - Notifications (very much) As I see it, once you have one of these paperless 5,000 cache-capable thingamajigs, you breath in GPX and your heartbeats to new cache notifications. I was puzzled - Why no email notifying me my membership had expired, or was about to? If Groundspeak were a magazine I'd have been notified my subscription was about to expire by about the 3rd issue from the end (if not sooner.) Anyway, I'm recovering nicely, didn't turn blue or break out in spots, though it was a rough 48 hours. Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Check your spam filter. I got membership expiration notices at least 6 weeks out. Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Check your spam filter. I got membership expiration notices at least 6 weeks out. Hmm. Sadly, the spam filter isn't as customisable as it was under the old regime - the new one seems to run out of India and documentation is non-existent. Quote Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I guess I'm a little weird, but I have it memorized that my membership expires on April 13th of each year... what's wrong with me? Quote Link to comment

+t4e Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I was puzzled - Why no email notifying me my membership had expired, or was about to? have you set your Membership to "Recurring"? that's when you get reminders, first about a month before and second few days before Quote Link to comment

Nothing worse than waking up on Monday morning to find I can't do PQs. Quote Link to comment
+GeoGeeBee Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Mine is about to expire. I get a reminder (although a subtle one) every time I log in to the website: The "Renew Your Membership" link just appeared there a couple of weeks ago. I assume it will go away when I renew, although I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment

knowschad Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I was puzzled - Why no email notifying me my membership had expired, or was about to? Membership expired notifications are only sent out to active Premium Members, perhaps? (to newbies... please don't take that seriously) Quote Link to comment

+NinjaCacher! Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I was puzzled - Why no email notifying me my membership had expired, or was about to? That just happened to me too. No email, no "Groundspeak Renewal Notice" in my inbox, not even in my spam folder or anywhere else. No big deal, I just renewed, but still think it's weird not to receive any notice.

+Max and 99 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I get plenty of notices when my membership is about to expire! Last year there was a glitch in my payment, and I went a whole week without PM advantages. It was awful! You don't realize how good the PM features are until you lose them! This year I chose a different payment method and wasn't about to let my membership lapse. Quote Link to comment
+BCandMsKitty Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Happened to me last week. No notice, and nothing in my spam either! What really confused me was I was still able to enter the membership only Off Topic forum and was still listed there as premium member! Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Mine expired on Sunday while I was using the site - very confusing! The pocket queries I'd been editing disappeared without warning. No sign of an e-mail either. Quote Link to comment
+pppingme Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I've NEVER received an email telling me mine was about to expire, nor has my wife, and no, its not a spam folder issue or anything like that. I've heard some people claim to get them, but they are clearly not consistent in sending them. Quote Link to comment
+TerraViators Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm glad you all have alerted me to this. I've always assumed the membership auto-renews. Quote Link to comment
