Yeah it was accident lol. I was thinking they all just used the Tyler. I know when I worked in CS or Telemarketing I never used my real name. When I was in sales I'd actually lie and use the name of the person I was calling as an ice breaker to get my food in the door. We have the same name? My goodness that's crazy !!! Anyway buy this newspaper subscription. It rarely actually worked though.

Right. I mentioned that in my cancellation request. I have been on 3 tracks for 3 years and while I would love to continue getting the music, there is no way I am going to pay 50% more for what will invariably be the same product. The brains in this company to do this during a pandemic with record unemployment is impressive.

Well, this makes me stand firm on my choice of coming back for Spiritualized and quitting for good barring something extraordinary.

Out of interest, has anyone emailed CS and had a response? Im intrigued to see what they say.
I haven't received an email regarding the price changes, but that's likely because my 3-month sub just renewed August 1. If the price increase is indeed correct and they won't at least grandfather the current accounts (including add-ons), then this is where I get off this ride.

Will let you know what I hear back. Specifically asked about grandfathered prices. Going to reach out to Lloyd Starr on LinkedIn too. We have traded messages periodically when VMP is screwing things up, so curious what he says here.

So $43 a record if you want to just dip in monthly and then $33 to do an add-on.
This is how they are solving the flipping problem, by making sure they are getting more of the pie.

Well, foot in mouth here. I'm gonna recant my statement of never having a problem cause this price increase is stupid. Luckily, I jumped on a 3-month with the price break and will get September. Then I'm done.
Maybe this is how they'll deal with flippers....bar them and make up the revenue on the backs of their loyal customers.

Is there any word of the discount for internationals for 3 or 6 months?
Someone on reddit did and they confirmed the price increase.

My three Month renewal is at the new price so it doesnt look like they are grandfathering anything.
Same here, September for sure my last for essentials. We'll see what august is for RHH then after that im outty. F this.

My sub ends with Spiritualized though I have a few pre-orders to come. For those prices, every record I have coming better be perfectly flat and with any blemishes because it should be a high quality product.

This is whats thrown me off. I was at least expecting the discount (been a member for around 4 years with all 3 subs since R&HH started) and its just showing an increase of $41 every 3 months for me.

No way I'm signing up blind and then getting stuck with Sarah Webster Fabio when the ROTM is a hot turd.
This is genius because it solves their CS issues as well, no members = no CS tickets! Brilliant!

From what the note says it appears the discount for renewal of a 3, 6 or 1 year occurs upon renewal. In theory. But they can also change that whenever they want... And I have no idea if or what the international discount is.
Even with this discount, I am noping the fuck outta there.
I mean, I was anyways but now I don't even need to think about it.
