We've been reviewing pay sites of all types in the last year, and one of the trends we've seen are sites that go from $40/mo memberships to offering a discount of 75% ($9.95/mo) when a member cancels, in order to desparately squeeze every last penny out of the individual.

For business purposes, this is obviously a good strategy... but at what cost? This method is clearly saying "hey, since you were smart enough not to be scammed into paying $40, and it costs us almost nothing to provide this service, how about we reason at $10?"...

In my opinion, this method of business is weak, and if I were a loyal member who did pay $40/mo only to know later that I could of paid $10, I'd be pissed!! Isn't this the WRONG way of treating loyal members?

Appreciate any feedback...
