to my fellow flyertalkers in the same position, have you deleted hundreds of pm's or decided not to accept new ones?
Though word on the new/improved premium would be nice. |
Working on an equitable solution to this; I'll get back to you when I have a process in place, hopefully by next week. Pinging tech now.
Thanks for your patience and suggestions :) Paul |
Renewed InsideFlyer Subscription but still Seeing Ads on FT
Has something happened? Yesterday I had no ads. Today I see my InsideFlyer subscription lapsed. So I went to re-up, but when I go to link the accounts, I get this message:
Enjoy a Premium FlyerTalk Experience and Help Support the Community! Frequent flyers are nothing if not addicted to upgrades. So, we are in the process of building out a new elite status program. We are still working with the bean counters to build out the strongest package we can. But expect an announcement about the details in TalkMail in the coming months. If you are not already subscribed to TalkMail, you may do so here. Always, FT Mgmt Is this new? |

If you had followed this thread, you would have known magazine subscription doesn't get you ad-free FT no more since early 2011 or something. Here are words from the owner of FT:

-- there is no connection between the magazine subscription and FT Premium. <snip>
We are in the process of putting together an even better Premium package that will include Ad-Free browsing. Stay tuned! |
I just received my notice, searched, and found this thread.
I do hope a solution is on the horizon. |

Already started :)
Over the next couple of weeks -- maybe sooner, depending on the scope of this project -- we will implement a solution that will make everyone happy. Thank you for your continued patience; I'll get back to you very soon. Paul |

Thank you for your continued patience; I'll get back to you very soon. Paul All you had to do was arrange for payment -- and you could simply have said "Send us $15 by PayPal". Why has this taken so long? |

I am truly confused by this. You already had the technology available (as demonstrated by the fact that many of us had the ad-free version for years).
All you had to do was arrange for payment -- and you could simply have said "Send us $15 by PayPal". Why has this taken so long? The facility for linking payments to services simply does not exist at present, since FlyerTalk is a free website. The previous arrangement was through a subscription to InsideFlyer, which as you know is not affiliated with FlyerTalk. I hope you'll find the temporary solution more elegant and to your liking anyway -- even though it is taking some time. Paul |

We all know that FlyerTalk was not affiliated with InsideFlyer.. I believe the question that we're all wanting to know is Why couldn't you have setup a paypal account, and then manually updated our accounts when we paid you?

This is a pain. My PM box has instantly become unusable...unless I delete hundreds of PMs I don't want to delete.
:td: |

Now that my subscription has expired, I'm rediscovering how annoying those ads are, and a ^ that FT/IB plans to continue to offer an alternative.
I can hardly wait. ;) I have used it for years under Windows, just works. :D |
