However we put the code in place, the customer can upgrade to the full monthly price at anytime during their trial membership with simply the last 4 of their credit card number. They do not have to wait until the 3 days is up.
They are now not the only WSB sites using this and so far it's shown a few things very clearly.

1. Many customers cancel immediately, even before they have viewed the content. Then they go into the site, most likely to download everything they can. Many of these, when realising they can't soak the lot, upgrade (thereby resurrecting their membership), cancel again and go and download everything. At least the webmaster gets his full monthly fee for this.

2. Almost all of the customers who like the sites upgrade within an hour or so. This is a great revenue boost for webmasters who don't have to wait 3-5 days. Neither do their affiliates.

3. Give us an idea, give us a week, and if we like it we'll build it for our webmasters.

There might be some merit to your methods. I'll have to consider that. I would think it should be very apparent before the purchase though? How does that work with your biller? I use CCBILL.
