I decided not to rejoin, yet something else that has gone up since ITV took over. How sneaky though not to announce it. I hope somebody sends a letter to one of the national papers so that it is made clear. ann Glos

Just had a look on my account and this is what the page to input card details says on mine - Click here to renew now Amount: £7.50 for all-inclusive membership of Friends Reunited for six months You will be able to send unlimited messages to as many people as you want. Amount: £7.50 for all-inclusive membership of Friends Reunited until 26 June 2007 You will be able to send unlimited messages to as many people as you want until 26 June 2007. (Looks like FR don't know what to charge)

WHAT!?!? well I denfinately won't be renewing That subscription then!! I hope GR don't follow suit though! lorraine Friends Reunited has always be a pay to use site - it was much the same as here, you had to pay to send messages and to post on the message boards. I payed for both GR and friends last Feb at a total of £17.45 (£9.95 + £7.50). You must have been lucky on joined during a promotion of some sort.

ooooohh. how sneaky is that, I am on and off F/Re all the time and (luckily by the sounds of it) I renewed mine back in april so got the full 12 months, I must admit though., looking at the site over the last couple of weeks have not noticed any announcements re the membership shortening to 6 months,, they must have just slipped that all in without telling us mere mortals!!! Duoble the annual subsription but will it be double the value-- me thinks maybe not, only time will tell.

Oh ek Deb! I renewed mine in May, it says full member til May 07, so they must have just changed it since then.

I found that out the other night .... meant to let everyone know, but got carried away with the contact on FR. It's daylight robbery ... and I'm glad it wasn't MY membership that was being renewed. Hope it's worth the money for you Debs Elaine ;-)

I renewed my (expired) subscription last night. The usual 7.50. I looked at my new expiry date and it had move forward 6 months until December/06. Thats not right thought me, it should be until June/07. so I fired off an email to their accounting department. I received this back: 'Friends Reunited membership is now £7.50 for 6 months. This means that the renewal date is correct.' I wonder when Genes will follow suit? Deb
