I've received an email to say my membership will be renewed on the 6th April, though last time GR took 2 lots of money off my card.

Just checked my emails to find i have renewed my membership !!!

No email to remind me it was due just a message to say they have taken £15.96 for 12 months membership

Would have renewed any way , would have been nice to have been reminded the sub was due !

My sub expired in March and I wasn't going to renew ... around middle of April got email with an offer which I accepted .... $12.00 Can which works out to approx 7.7 pounds for 1 year standard sub

My six months sub was offered to me at £1.33 a month so £7.98 but as I know they were going to charge me special offer at £2 a month in 6 months time I opted for the 12 month sub at £19.95...cut out the messing about :-D

It was £1.67/month from memory ...it may have been £1.66 which is £19.92 ....the six month option was on "special offer" of £1.33/month

AnninGlos...I bet you haven't! £7.98 for six months me....if I wanted to take the 12 month option it was £20.04 - three times (and more) more than you are paying.

GR - You ARE a divisive shower! :-(

I have just renewed and was charged £6. for 12 months. I am auto renew and had two emails and one PM. One e mail warning and one email and 1 PM confirming. I have no complaints.

Jude,

I never received any notification from GR when my sub was due for renewal either.

T&Cs This notice of renewal will be sent by email 14 days before such automatic renewal.

So today they took my money but I did not have anything 14 days ago...

It was some years ago when I joined and I paid £7.96 for 12 months by credit card. They have renewed it at the same price every year and sent me a renewal notice one month before it's due.
I have kept the same credit card and the same email address since I joined.
I can't complain

If I look at the cost for me to re-subscribe (end of this month) on the subscription for 12 months it has £1.67 per month (20.04 for the year) but it is crossed through and shows Special Offer £1.33 per month (£15.96 for the year).

If I log out and look at the subscription then it just shows £1.67 per month.

I was contacted earlier this month offering a 20% discount on renewal for 12 months at £1.67 - so £15.96. As it works out at about 30p a week I don't mind it

Still randomly inconsistent, and not the way to treat the site's members.
