FT Premium Renewal Process
 

There has been some confusion over the process of renewing FT Premium due to unclear instructions in our old email reminder. To renew your FT Premium access complete the following two steps:

1) Renew your subscription to InsideFlyer.com at (both are required): http://www.insideflyer.com/login.php...gnup/renew.php to renew

2) Reclaim your premium access by completing the form at: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/claim_subscription.php

Both of these steps must be completed for your FT Premium access to be extended. Thank you,

Tim,

This morning ads have begun to reappear when I log on.

Since I did not get a notice, I am just wondering if it is time to renew or if it is a glitch.

Thanks for any help,

Your account just expired, yes. You might want to check your spam filtered emails or other rules you might have in place to sort your mail or you can use the instructions in the post above to renew. Thanks,

Tim, I'm having the same problem. When I renewed my subscription on the phone a couple of weeks ago, the woman who took my call said she would renew everything for me on your end, but apparently something is left undone.

So my question is basically, what is left for me to do?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Our apologies for this. I will get in contact with customer service and see if I can't get this straitened out for you. Thanks,

I'm seeing a bunch of adverts, although it doesn't seem like my subscription should have ended (and no notice, although it could have ended up in the spam list.)

Your InsideFlyer subscription has expired recently, you should be able to update it and your ad free access with the two steps above if you can't find the email. Thanks,

I'm getting piles of ads but my subscription expires on 06/27/2007 according to InsideFlyer.

I've resubmitted myself and will see if that works, it recognised the above date

If you follow the two steps at the top of this you should be all set up till 06/27/2007 then. :) Let us know if you have any problems.

It's worked OK, as before.

What I wondered was why it had stopped suppressing ads.

When your subscription expires and is renewed on IF.com your premium account has to be reclaimed on FlyerTalk to continue getting ad free access. I expect that this was the cause of this.

You might want to review what it is about the emails you send that sometimes snares them. I note that the email address you have for me is perfectly good, but I missed or didn't receive a renewal notice and also any emails that should have been sent as a result of subscribing to this thread. I personally triage emails in my spam pile by looking for either a familiar sender or a meaningful subject, so an email from "FlyerTalk" with a subject of "FlyerTalk premium subscription expiring" would have certainly gotten my attention, while one from "FT" or "Subscription Department" with a more generic subject would have gone to its death.

Oh wow! Even though I've subscribed to InsideFlyer, I wasn't aware of the existence of a premium version of FT!
Just claimed my ad-free FT experience. Thanks!

Well, something is broken.

I renewed my InsideFlyer account and I can log in there and verify that my subscription is valid until 10/2008. When I go to the flyertalk page referenced above to reclaim my subscription, and supply my IF username (same as here) and password (different from here), I get an error message that says, "We could not find an active InsideFlyer.com user account that matches the info you have provided."

Regarding FT Premium subscribers, does the "+" sign next to a member's name in a list of people currently visiting a forum, denote "Premium" subscriber status?

Thanks
Jim

The "+" sign just indicates that the person is on your FlyerTalk Buddy list.

Sometimes you just login to the forums and threads you regularly watch and don't notice other features.

I just found that I could use my insideflyer account to use the premium version :D

I signed up for the non-online Inside Flyer subscription (via the link for the subscription for Freddies voting) - is it still possible to get FT Premium as a paper issue subscriber or is that only available for online subscribers?

bump! :)

Yes, you need to go to: https://www.insideflyer.com/signup/request_account.php

There you can claim your online access to the IF.com website. You can then use the normal means to sign up for Premium. Thanks,

Thanks, Tim - I'll have to wait until I get an actual magazine in the mail then...

OMG saw those horrible ads for five minutes it took for me to find the info how to renew and before I got it done. Peace have now returned....

I renewed earlier this year, but still get ads. I only notice it when I´m at internet cafes, as the ads are quite annoying and really slow page loads. :(

WOW!
 

I finally signed up for the premium service and what a difference. No ads and my surfing the site is completely seam free. Well worth the $12.:D

I signed up for IF.com (several days ago) and still get the "We could not find an active InsideFlyer.com user account that matches the info you have provided." error message. I can log into IF with no issues.

Suggestions?

You should be good to go now. If you still see ads, try logging out and logging back in to reset your cookies.

Mikel, Thanks for the help. All is wonderfully ad free!

I got the renewal invitation e-mail on March 9, renewed immediately online so thought I was all set for the no-ad online version to continue.

Logging on today, I see the 'Welcome, Roger' message, but there are ads all over the place.

Am I alone?

Curiously, the welcome back message says 'you last visited: Yesterday at 11.39 p.m.' (GMT) yet the so-called unread messages go back way before then.
