Credit Cards Now Accepted for Optional FerrariChat.com Subscriptions...

Secure connection (https) for Visa, Master Card, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, and JCB is now available to subscribe.

In summary, there are three major ways to subscribe...

1) PayPal (Immediate Activation)

2) Mailing a Check (Activation When Received)

3) Credit Card (Manual Activation 4 to 48 hours)

What: Optional subscriptions are now available.

Why: 1) Additional features for subscribers. 2) Bonus of 6 months on 1 year subscriptions or 2 years on 5 year subscriptions if you subscribe before May 1st. 3) Help support the site.

From my perspective we're starting optional subscriptions because with almost 6,000 users and growing at 800 users a month I can't afford the time and money without introducing a revenue component directly inline with number of users. I was happy with 100 users only, but if we have 10,000 users, then I will at least have the resources to bring in help and justify my time.

From a users perspective many believe the quality of the postings will improve if there's a small token of entry into the site. It's still not finalized if posting privileges will be a feature removed from the Non Subscribed user group. The other benefit to users will be additional resources like professional writers, technical consultants, coupons/discounts and expanded functionality.

Why Not: 1) Non Subscribed users will still have all the features they do today until at least June 1st. 2) If you are a Moderator, Sponsor, or are accepted to be a Consultant you don't need to subscribe.

I'll process any subscriptions tomorrow by 10am CST. Thanks.

 

Welcome. Hey, we talk more about Lamborghinis here than anywhere else.

 

Read my first post #1.

 

There's not a new subscription site. Nothing is different, just a few additional permissions. Like I've said several times, there really aren't any reasons to subscribe now unless you do want some of the minor additional permissions (More PM space, signature for Rossa members, private BS forum) or just want to support the community.

Eventually some day select permissions will be removed from the Not Subscribed group, but when and what hasn't been determined. So unless you just have to get in on the Bonus offer that ends May 1st, I think most will wait to subscribe when something is actually taken away they want.

Please let me know if still questions.

Thanks,
rob

 

There's been at least two go through today. Anyone else have this problem? I don't have direct control on the cc software, they notify me when the payment goes through and I activate the subscription.

Let me know if you still can't get it working.
