Note these provisos for the renewal options: Platinum Club Membership Renewal- Monthly Plan *Platinum Club Membership - Monthly Plan requires 11 monthly payments of $7.95 after the initial payment in order to maintain membership privileges. If at any time you cancel your membership or one of your automatic monthly payments are defaulted upon, you will be required to re-start your membership at a cost of $29.95. It is importantly to realise that you are buying a monthly payment plan for an annual membership. You cannot cancel your membership (except, presumably, by using the 30 day unconditional guarantee). If you try to cancel (?) or default on a monthly payment - you will be charged another $29-95 and must continue paying for the remainder of your membership period. This is something to bear in mind if you run your card account/s close to the credit limit. These are fair enough, but definitely something potential purchasers should be aware of. Platinum Club Membership Renewal- Annual Plan *Platinum Club Membership - Annual Plan only requires one payment of $69.95 in order to maintain membership privileges for a full 12 months. If at any time you cancel your membership, you will be required to re-start your membership. I do not know what the final sentence means. If there is a facility on the DAZ site for a PC member to cancel their membership it has escaped my notice. If you've paid up for a year, and the 30 day money back guarantee has passed, the only effective way of 'cancelling' would be to not buy anything. They surely don't mean that once you're in you have be a PC member - FOREVER! ;-)
