Can I still renew at the old rate and keep my charter membership? ETA: it finally did, just now, but it was for the full rate. ---

Looks like you got your subscription in a few hours after your subscription expired. Sometimes people can slide in under the wire if they get in after their subscription expires but before the script runs that sweeps the system. You were not so lucky this time around. All subscriptions can be renewed at any time. You don’t have to wait until the last minute to get your payment in. Payment can also be made multiple years at a time. All renewals simply add time to the existing subscription. You lose nothing by resubscribing early and in fact gain peace of mind and uninterrupted Charter Member status. I’m sorry things didn’t work out better for you.
