So that's $250 for 10 months, or $25 a month. (This is calculated at the EXP rate ... PLT and GLD would pay more). So you save the $50 new member fee, but you only get ten months of membership. OTOH if you buy a brand-new 12-month membership in January, you pay $300 and get 12 months months, which works out to the same exact $25 per month. There is no advantage to renewing your expired membership.
when i figured it i did it slightly different but i agree with your conclusion. 250 divided by 12 means it costs $20.83 a month for membership so if i wait 2 and 1/2 months to rejoin it is a push.
