Price of VIP?

The billing page says it’s 50% off now, but (still/already) $60/year after that?

(Posted on September 4, before the deadline)

If you sign up now, it’s $30/yr as long as your VIP membership remains active.

Well, it wasn’t exactly cheap before and now there is no chance I would ever subscribe. $60 is insane.

I still felt that way yesterday, so I wanted to sleep on it, but apparently I misunderstood “by September 5” and “on September 5” (which usually includes that day), because the “sale” has already ended. Thus, I’ll continue as a “free rider” for now.

I hope there will be more affordable plans in the future that better fit the value I get out of Trakt.

In my humble opinion, I think this is way too expensive.

I read people saying: “hopefully this is only for new members”, but seriously, who will pay 60€ for being VIP on trakt ?

If it was me, I would not do it. €30 is fair, but 60 would be way too expensive for me, for something I can found for free on other website. Trakt is convenient, but nothing that you are doing is exclusive.

I love trakt and that’s the reason I am VIP, but I think you are going too far with the 60. Why not 35€, but something more than 40€ would be way too expense for this kind of service.

This is just my opinion. I know you are listening to your community, so I hope you will be lowering the price for new members. We will see, but I think your numbers will decrease, I really can’t understand why people would pay 60€ for trakt.

But continue the good works, I love your website and apps.

That turned out to be a time zone issue that got fixed:

Although I still think that I don’t get $30/year out of Trakt, @justin’s recent responses/actions convinced me to give Trakt the benefit of the doubt.

I have subscribed for 1 year of VIP, to fully test Trakt (including VIP features) and see which value I get out of it. Either I learn that I was wrong and it is actually worth $30/year to me (and I will continue VIP, now that I have locked in this price plan) or I will return to being that “free rider”. Time will tell…

If the normal VIP now costs 60 euros, what does the VIP EP cost for which I have been paying 60 euros voluntarily for years? Simply to support Trakt.

The VIP EP doesn’t exist anymore. So I think you’ll keep the same price

Oh okay. Thxy. I don’t want to lose the badge. :cry:

Maybe it’s a legacy badge you get to keep :sunglasses:

Yes, anyone with EP keeps that badge as long as your membership is active. If there is ever an issue with auto renewal, please contact support and we can help you out and retain EP.

Why don’t I have the VIP label here? (Do I need to enable this somewhere?)

Not that it really bothers me; just curious.

You probably need to sign out of the forums, then sign back in.

If you go into preferences then account from the forum, you can change your badge label.

I Love Trakt. 60 euros is worth every euro. So Go on…

Yes, that solved it.

I don’t have the option “Title” in my account settings (also not after logging out and logging in again), but I’m good now.

Yup, don’t have the “Title” option either.

I just noticed I was no longer a VIP, My yearly subscription was set to auto renew, but it apparently didn’t. But I have no notices in my email about anything, nothing about a “payment is about to…” or “Membership is expiring soon…” I was just dropped, and of course I notice this on the 6th just after the sale, so now what?

Please see what I wrote above.
