Just renewed my membership and the email confirming my order stated that I should expect a "yearly gift"
no mention of a vinyl holiday single anywhere in it. It was fun while it lasted, but Im curious as to what the new "gifts" will be!

Peace

    My guess is they just re-worded the email. The Holiday/Easter vinyl is almost an institution.

    The "gift" refers to the little piece of vinyl love we receive every year... :D

    could mean the vinyl or it could mean the deep mag. both only come once a year now. i wish deep was a quarterly mag or at least an optional subscription you could buy.

    Perhaps it is now called a "yearly gift" because they have realized how silly it is to call it a "holiday single"
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Here ya go smart asses! Considering EVERY other time Ive renewed it says I will be getting a 'Holiday 45" with exclusive songs or some shit like this. I'd say I am hardly jumping to conclusions!

    If Im missing the part about a "45" or "vinyl" in this email, please point it out to me. If I was new to the 10Club I sure as hell wouldnt be expecting any fucking vinyl christmas present based on this email!

    I think it is the word "X-Mas" that they are trying to avoid saying, not the word "vinyl"

    the 10C isn't as anal-retentive as some of its' members. the x-mas/holiday vinyl isn't being phased out, and to suggest otherwise based on a weak assumption is illogical,...
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    Maybe it's them not painting themselves into a corner. Maybe one year they just logistically can't get the vinyl thing done so they do something else.

    Speaking of that vinyl thing.....................

    They referred to it last year as annual gift as well and someone brought up the same assumption as you did.
    They are sending us a 45 this year so nothing's changed. I guess they just don't want to call it a holiday thing anymore.

    You sure need to chill out though! No need for all that cursing no one cursed you out!!
    The fact that everyone jumped at you was probably because of your thread title, you could have started a thread asking for opinions on it not posting it as cold hard fact when you actually really dont know.

    You know what they say "when you assume you make an ass of you and...." well you know how it goes.

    In your defense, I find the internet does this terrible thing to people - especially on message boards. People tend to forget they're not just talking to a screen, and are thus quick to overreact, or say things they would never (or rarely) in real life. I personally find it interesting that they've switched the wording to annual gift, and think that, who knows, it could actually mean something.
