Paid Membership Plans To Be Re-instated
The Membership Feature will be turned back on sometime this week: Feb. 7th to Feb. 11th.
If you are a new visitor to CubicYard you may not be aware of the fact that the membership feature was disabled during the re-design of the site. This gave access to all content and features to everyone that registered a free account. In fact, even those that did not register were denied access to only one or two features.
When the membership feature again becomes active, certain areas of the site will be available only to those with a paid membership. Please familiarize yourself again with the information “Members, Guests and Registered Users” so you will understand the type of account you presently have.
Membership Fee Increase
The membership fee has increased by 3 cents per day which makes the 90 day membership fee $77.55.Members that have a paid membership already in place will continue to be honored. Please take this into account before you cancel any membership plan as all previous types of membership plans will no longer be available. If you cancel an old membership plan there is no way to re-establish that plan.
- Members that presently have the Basic Subscription will be saving $10.80 per year by retaining that plan
- Members that presently have the Plus Subscription will be saving $211.20 per year by retaining that plan
- Members that presently have the Premium Subscription will be saving $161.20 per year by retaining that plan
Membership Cancelation
As with many websites, Cubic Yard uses PayPal to handle subscriptions. At times members call or e-mail us requesting that we cancel their membership for them – we do not have the ability to do this -everything is handled by Paypal. PayPal’s technology more or less operates most website membership plans; their system adds your membership when you subscribe and removes your membership when you cancel. Please review our information on “How To Cancel Your Membership” so you are familiar with the process.
Potential Problems
Cubic Yard has 3,376 members. It has been a long and time-consuming process to transfer the membership information from the prior membership module to the new module. We have been through our check/recheck process three times but there is always the possibility we made errors. If you have any problem at all with access to the site once the membership module is activated, please let us know right away. It may take several days to find and correct a problem so be patient with us. Go here to report a problem.
