Plus, I don’t do the two-year subscription every two ywears, because I think that would make it _more_ likely I’d miss the date. Instead, I’ve got a two year subscription and I add a one-year each year. That way i’ve got a cushion if I do miss the date. ---

I’ve just succumbed to the subscription expiry notices that I’ve been repeatedly getting and re-upped for two years. I hope that this bump reminds those charter members who may not be checking the e-mail they’re using for the SDMB that the renewal date is May 20 (at least for me). ---

That way i’ve got a cushion if I do miss the date. Ditto. Last year, I did a two-year subscription renewal for the first time, and just extended it by another year. My current expiry date is 05-20-2018. I also have reminders on both my work and home calendars. It’s flagged as High Importance. 🙂 ---

> [@Duckster](#): > > With the SDMB down for a couple of days, will management extend our subscription by 24/48 hours? They did this in the past with similar outages. It doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. I’m just asking cuz somebody has to ask! 🙂 There’s nothing like being altruistic and being cheap about it at the same time.🙂 ---

Mine doesn’t expire until next April. Not sure how I got out of sync, but I may go ahead and extend it anyway while I’m thinking of it. ---

> [@XT](#): > > Do we get an email notification when it’s due? I don’t even remember, as I think I bought a multi-year subscription last time. Mine doesn’t expire until July, so hopefully I’ll remember then to re-up. If my case is normal, they start sending you daily email reminders about a week before the expiration date.
