+Rebel Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Got my email today with a heads up from Groundspeak about the annual renewal of my membership. Unlike last year when it kinda came as a surprise, it was nice to hear about it in advance. Thanks bunches, guys! (How'd I do on the suckup meter?)
Jeremy Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 We implemented that feature last April, sadly after all the original charter members already had their accounts renew. It is definitely nicer to have the notifications now
+gallahad Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 It's somewhat of a relief to know that I won't have to rely exclusively on my memory to renew later this year. Tnx..
+IV_Warrior Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 I liked the e-mail, just got mine recently too, but there is one thing that bugged me. The "If you set up your membership to be recurring, Paypal will send a payment automatically on" part. It's been a year, I can't remember IF I did the "auto-renewal" or the one-time paypal payment. Is there an easy way for me to check this? Would it be possible for the e-mails to be customized for those who did, and those who didn't to get different messages, telling them if they need do anything, or just make sure they have enough money in their account to cover the payment? Thanks.
+Laserman Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 (edited) How do I know if my account is recurring? I seldom remember last week let alone how I set up an account last year, or even worse two years back. Edit: Oops, should read the entire thread first IV beat me to the question by a lot.

Jeremy Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 It's been a year, I can't remember IF I did the "auto-renewal" or the one-time paypal payment. Is there an easy way for me to check this? This is my fault. When we started, I didn't split out the autorenew folks from the non autorenew. As a result, any charter members in the first year are the only ones I don't know whether they are recurring or not. The new "my cache page" will give you the subscriber ID and renewal date, so you will know when it is coming. You'll have a separate tab that has all of your premium member features along with this additional data. You can then take your subscriber ID and visit PayPal.com to look up and double-check your renewal date. At the same time, we're planning to accept credit cards in the future. Since we'll be handling the cards ourselves, we'll have all the data necessary to let you know whether it is set to autorenew.
+Rebel Posted February 7, 2004 Author Posted February 7, 2004 You can also go directly to PayPal and check your account settings. On mine, Groundpeak is listed under "subscriptions" along with the date it will kick in.
+Stuey Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 I would like to convert from monthly to annual subscriptions. How do I go about this without doubling up/missing out?
