so how exactly do you re-new for more than one year? do you just buy multiple memberships and they just tack on the time? if you re-new before the year is up you keep your original deadline? so say if you originally got your membership around x-mas time and you renewed the following thanksgiving, you pretty much get an extra year and a month? finishing out the original year and then the re-new goes in effect?
When you add to cart input the quantity. I think im paid through 2014 or so. 20 bucks a pop, might as well buy 5 at a time... and yes it goes towards your original date, so you would get 1 year and 1 month in that senario.
yeah, since i joined i've bought a year or two in advance... reupped to 2013. i learned quickly to keep the membership current after attempting to have my brother's # reinstated (he was in it back in 1993 and stopped paying in '97 - i imagine the seats would be waaaay better with his #)
I think it's ridiculous to be honest.. Why doesn't 10c just give him/her the old number and seniorty back it's a joke. If someone renews a few days or even a couple of weeks after the cut off who cares!
You know what's ridiculous? The fact that they give you three months! That's quite a grace period. We should be thanking 10C for being so generous. I missed my date by a couple weeks once, and I started to panic thinking I had blown my seniority. I called them up, not thinking I had any chance of keeping my number, and they were more than nice about it. Believe me, I know about procrastination, I'm the king where that is concerned, but at least I know that it's always my fault when it happens.

I gotta say it's kinda crappy the op got his old number back. What's the point of having a grace period. Maybe I missed the reason for letting it lapse, but "it slipped my mind" isn't a valid excuse, for me. Send him to the back of the line.
How bout this.............Hey 10c, I have been a member of the various official PJ boards for 10 years, but never got around to joining the 10c, can I back pay and get a low number?
it shouldn't matter if you joined yesterday or the day the club opened...rules are rules and without them we are just a bunch of monkeys in a tree flinging crap at each other..you bend the rules for one and not another then you can no longer respect that system... If 90 fucking days isn't good enough for you then your dumb ass deserves to lose your # IMO.
so does this whole seniority thing mean i'll never get tickets with a 423xxx ??? sorry to ask a silly question - i'm just new to this whole membership number culture.
Every member has the same chance to buy tickets. Your member number just determines where your tickets will be if you do get them. When they put tickets for sale on their website, typically their site crashes and then the tickets say "out of stock" for hours, and those that keep refreshing for a few hours may be lucky enough to actually see them "in stock". When you click "checkout", you then proceed to fill in your credit card info. Once you fill that in, you click "buy", and their site accidentally logs you out, and you lose your tickets and they sell to someone else, and then it'll say "sold out". So... either way, your member number doesn't end up mattering in the luck of the draw.
This would be funny if it wasn't so tragic...... :roll:

Gotta agree with this.......so you can get your number back now after 91 days, what happens to the person that leaves it for 92 days.....If its that important, set yourself a reminder - in your phone, on your PC, on your calendar - its not THAT hard!

10C worked with me and it is all good now. I tell you one thing, I will never F*CK up again. They are awesome people, so I don't want to EVER hear anyone give them grief. That is why my original post was still polite, but just full of sadness...lol

That's exactly the point here. And that is why they should be drawing a clear line in the sand at 90 days. The OP is lucky to get his # back. And IMO he shouldn't have got it back.

If TC allowed OP to get his number back after the expiration and after the expiration of the grace period, that's their choice. I don't mind one bit. But when they do that, they should do it under condition that the benefitting member should be discrete about it. Because now they've set a precedent that they WILL allow people to renew after expiration of their membership, and after expiration of the LOOOONG grace period. Again - I'm thrilled the OP got his number back! ...but a pandora's box was opened.

Agreed. The OP didn't go about this the right way at all. He should have waited until he had the 10C's final decision. If the decision was favourable, he should have kept his mouth shut. If it was unfavourable, he could have then done what he did ~ start a thread to share his anger and disappointment with the rest of us.
Things very rarely turn out well when you act too soon out of sheer emotion without even having all of the information yet. If I was the 10C, I would be disappointed that the entire membership is aware of this situation.

jeez...yeah...dude...you made it seem like they dropped the hammer. and i agree with others, you should have just kept your mouth shut about it. when my bosses took care of me and did things they really weren't supposed to do, i kept my mouth shut.

I'm with CJ. I'm really glad they gave the OP his number back. Simply because he's (or she, not sure) been a member for 10 years, c'mon folks, be happy for him. I understand that people who weren't treated the same may be frustrated, but really, why get angered/bothered by other people's good fortune? Good things happen to to both good and bad people, and bad things happen to both good and bad people. That's it. And the OP may have set himself up by publicizing this whole thing, but honestly, he remained polite and honestly blamed himself, so I'm glad 10Club "forgave" him.
I know it sucks, but the rules have been like that for a long time.
Agreed.
I feel for the OP because it really sucks that he missed it by one day. But you have to draw the line somewhere and they drew it at 90 days. Truth of the matter is, if the membership means that much to you, you wouldn't even let it get to day 1, let alone day 90. It does suck for you though as I have been a member for 10 years too and I would hate to lose my mem #.
The worst part is that it was a whole renewal ago. It was over a year ago that he missed his deadline. OK, he paid for the last year, no worries, but he then let that membership lapse for nearly 90 days before paying it and then he moaned about how the renewal before alst he'd missed the 90 day lapse period by one more day and how it wasn't fair. Are you kidding?
Anyway, whatever, I don't let mine lapse so it's not an issue to me.

May want to check his first post.
Cue up the haters who will most certainly bitch that he never should have gotten his number back.
