Therefore next month has just at least 7th times lower value for most jerkers. Only low percentage of subscriptions remain over 3 months (else my sponsors are shaving me much :-) ) So your $100 guy may feel bored or betrayed and chargeback. More, your long time rebilling subscribers 6+ months may see they paid you $180 and could pay just $100. So they can chargeback too, all their rebills. Not speaking about if you run affiliate program you can attract real carding fraudsters with high price memberships. It is impossible to keep your chargeback level below 1% with such pricing strategy i am pretty sure. It happened to me with my best sponsor program in the past. I was 6 years with them then suddenly they decided to offer high priced long time memberships, i was very lucky at first because income boosted like hell, then 2 people chargebacked their high price subscriptions, probably 1 all his rebills, i was kicked off as potential carder, program owner totally nervous because chargeback ratio jumped high to risc of merchant account loosing probably with all webmasters. Something what looked like great money opportunity for me turned to nightmare, i lost $400 in rebills and seized money and got about month of hard work to pull the links of my former best sponsor out. I do not want to take off your optimism and you surely know what you do but this is just my personal experience...
good info, and does make me think, I'll keep a close eye. if I start getting chargbacks I'll take that price option away..... thanks.
