Thanks. That's what I thought because I tried to renew in October when my membership isn't expiring until March.

What do you think about this situation?

I went online in October and tried to renew... and thought I had because I got a confirmation email in October saying 'thanks for renewing.' A couple of days ago I got an email telling me that I should renew b/c my membership was about to expire. I thought it was weird since I thought I was good for more than another year. I called the PC people and they told me they didn't have a record of my renewal. Upon their request, I faxed them a copy of the confirmation email. I also looked through credit card records to see if I could find a record of the payment. Unfortunately, I don't have all my records going back that far (and can't get it all online and I have canceled some cards since then).

So, I don't know if I've already paid (I assume I haven't, I guess, but the fact that I have a confirmation email makes me not trust whatever information they have) and even if I haven't I feel like I'm going to be stuck paying the higher fee when I should've gotten the lower rate.
