So maybe in June I should re-new my memberships instead of September?  Wonder if that will work?

[ClingFree]

Mine is due .... ooh very soon I do believe.  Yep 2 weeks, Lol

[slidecage2222]

only 5 bucks.  im sure many would of paid an extra  10 bucks easy to stay with pogo.

I joined back in  Dec 2003 and they never had a pay increase.  Name another place that hasnt went up  in almost 3 years.   My memebership isnt up until  dec 2006  : )

[simpsons99]

yeah thats funny they have been doing the $5 off right now  so people will get it for moms..  Does'nt that make it the old price of 29.95 ?

[harley89]

I will pay the increase but sure wish it would include the option of a private room

[hades]

going up $5 for a year isnt bad

[DoubleOscotty]

$5 a year, no biggie just don't buy a starbucks that day or one less gallon of gas.

[HypnotizedMind]

i just paid for my year so im good for about 11 months!!! O0

I don't think they'd raise it $10 in one year. They may $5 us to death every year though.... :))

[Country Lady]

Just goes to show that you can't believe anything pogo says. >:D
Well crap, I'm paying it, can't go withour badges.

[BadgeBabe]

Well, @#$%%!! My Pogo account Billing Info doesn't even give a billing date. Shows the comp. they gave me for a " mistake" they made on my account and leaves all info about renewal date off. My OTHER Club Pogo account has all the info filled in correctly.

Crap. I can just see them cutting off my main account with no notice because I have no way to know when the payment is due.
Do they do automatic CC billing by any chance?

[simpsons99]

Yes they do   an auto Pay by Credit card if you have 1 setup with them ..

Kinda funny they don'nt belive in auto in the games but for Payment ..  *hmmm pogo uses a auto too get our Credit card funds  ;)

[BadgeBabe]

 O0Thank you very much for the info!!
I would panic if Pogo didn't use this because I have no way to know when the renewal is due and I am not about to write them and get them STIRRED UP again. Whew!!

My Pogo rule to live by: Never, ever contact a live person at Pogo/ aka EA CS unless something extremely dire has happened to one's account. Undertrained and probably underpaid live person who is probably licking lead paint off walls of a dark closet will still misunderstand, make problem worse, fail to totally restore account resulting in unexpected secondary shutdown, send a totally competent and Internet savvy person to their insane drop down menu which invariably does NOT address the issue member is trying to contact EA CS about, and drive Pogo member to tears with their " It's not my department" runaround.  :'(

i wonder how pogo will explain off the increase after saying there wouldnt be one  :-X

[BadgeBabe]

Play hard, cheat well.  :;'

This still bites that aol people still get it cheaper then us...they are paying 10 bucks less a year then us non aolers.  And I dont really care if pogo is partnered with aol or not, its not right for non users of aol to have to support pogo by paying more.

[hades]

eh well having aol comes in handy for at least this  :P

If u want to save $ 10.00 u have the option to sign up for a aol account then u will get the discount.

I wouldn't put anything AOL on computer to save 10 bucks.  It would end up costing more to fix everything else it screwed up.  Just my opinion of course
