Please have a look at my thread update on automatic renewal and take care if your renewal doesn't go through smoothly. Heather

Annie - which probably means that when you joined in 2004 you paid 7.50. Those of us who joined in 2005 paid 9.50. Your renewal is charged at the same rate as your previous year´s subscription.

I recently renewed and queried why I was being charged 9.50 - received the following reply from GR Thanks for your email When you opt for auto renewal, you are charged the same price as you paid last year. I can see that you paid £9.50 last year, which is the amount you have also paid this year. The membership fee for members who do not opt for auto renewal is £9.95 Please let me know if you need further assistance. Best regards, Julie The Genes Support Team ============================== So if you are on continuous membership you are charged the same as last year (which was when I joined) - the 7.50 charge must be for older members (not in age I might add - but those that have been members of GR for a longer length of time!!!) You are charged 9.95 if you are a new member, or have not selected the continuous membership.

Hi all.....I'm waiting for a reply from them My renewal date is also 11th Sept Kerry.and when I looked into my renewal, it says August 06 and £9. 50. I've got mine ticked on automatic renewal but I think I'll untick it........that's if they haven't already taken it out. Have they gone mad !!!! I think we should maybe all get on to them....especially the ones who have already paid £9. 50 will let you know if they reply Jean

Hi Jean, There have been a number of threads about this. Everyone unhappy about different prices even though circumstances the same. They charged me the higher price to renew back in March! Carol

I'd query that, if I were you. I thought renewal was £7.50. Christine

I've just got my renewal reminder and clicked into it.........£9. 50 is that right......is it the same price if you're a new customer, because if it is I might just give it a rest for a month or so. Thanks
