Rolling Subscriptions

All dating sites at some point require you yo pay for their services. Mainstream dating sites usually offer a sliding scale of subscription rates, often an introductory or trial rate is offered, giving access to messaging for 3 days or so for around £5 to £10. Monthly rates typically start at around £20 to £30 month but the these monthly rates often reduce if you buy 3, 6 or 12 months in advance. Sex dating, and adult personal sites also have similar subscription rates although most of them don't offer the cheaper introductory week trial. Subscriptions on most sites these days are 'rolling subscriptions', meaning that they automatically renew after the payment period expires. They often market this as a 'benefit' to the member, typically quoting "ensuring your uninterrupted user experience" etc etc. Automatic renewals only benefit the website, since many members will loose track of their joining date and forget to cancel, thus unintentionally paying again. This is very convenient for them, as it gives them another way to boost their takings. Anyone subscribing for a set period, should check the payment policy of the site and if it has the 'auto renew' policy, they should cancel the renewal immediately.
