Can someone explain this to me because I can’t understand how this can benefit me…
Late 2006 I sign up for a printed newsletter which gets good reviews. It’s a yearly subscription, priced at (for arguement’s sake) $127 per year.
2007 I renew, again paying $127 for a full year.
Fast forward to late 2008 and I receive a subscription request letter saying:
“The current monthly membership fee is $24.95 per month however… [as you are already a member]… your membership is kept at the original low level of $19.95 [per month]”
Erm, no, that’s not quite right.
My YEARLY fee is $127 – why would I want to pay $19.95 a month? That’s almost TWICE what I pay now!
I would prefer it if the person(s) in question were upfront about wanting to increase the price – but to try and make out I am getting a good deal by signing up again at double the price doesn’t make sense.
So, no thanks, I’ll leave it I think.
