Automatic renewal

[ErnieL21053]

I just found out that if you are enrolled in the automatic renewal you won’t qualify for the $5 Amazon gift card . I know it seems counterintuitive but they said the automatic renewal is not linked to the Amazon gift card. I no longer have automatic renewal because of the process. If you have questions call membership services and they will explain the process to you

I never select AUTOMATIC RENEWAL with any organization. It is invariably a rip-off. All AUTOMATIC RENEWALS have in the fine print that once the initial period is over, RENEWALS will be at the price in force at the time of RENEWAL which is usually a HUGE increase. Additionally, with many organizations, it is hard to get them to stop renewing. Using AARP as an example, they wanted me to pay around $11 a year with AUTO RENEW. I called them, negotiated $45($9 a year) for a five year period without AUTO RENEW. Saved money and avoided the AUTO RENEWAL hassle.

NC @nctarheel , did you get the $5 Amazon giftcard Ernie @ErnieL21053 mentioned? I believe this is the 1st time I have seen this info (about giftcard) posted here? Take care my friend, Nicole 🤗🙃💛
