We know the site has issues with payments falling into 2 areas. Members are being charged $55 for renewals instead of $45 and failed payments. We are working a resolution. For the $55 overage on renewals, we have extend membership to 15 months in lieu of 12. I am doing this (some, not all done). There are also a number of failed payments, this looks to be a problem between how our site interfaces with PayPal. We think we know the problem and I’m working to resolve it.
If you are renewing your membership, please go to your member dashboard and click on renew. If you go to the new member page, you will be charged $55 and the site is not sophisticated enough to see that you are actually renewing and change it to $45. This could be the problem for some, but not all, based on feedback I have.
The renewal email notices were updated to go to the member dashboard.
