WTF. I just got an email telling me my subscription is set to expire in 30 days. My subscription is good until November 2010.

 

[TM]

Same here. Mine is valid till October 2010

 

[corianderstem]

I just got that, too. How irritating.

I'll just wait for the inevitable explanation from the U2.com forums saying we can ignore it.

 

[alanah]

LOL..I also got that email.

 

[Pop Artist]

I just got it too - mine is not supposed to be expiring until December. Somebody screwed up (again) at u2.com.

 

[lauramullen]

I got two seperate emails saying it will expire in 7 days and then it will expire in 30 days.

 

[Galeongirl]

I got no email at all.

 

[trojanchick99]

Lol, I got a 30 notice too, mine is set to expire in Jan 11.
U2.com

 

[Ellay]

Still not got mine,and now there's an announcement on U2.com that new subscribers will get their CD shipped the day they subscribe.

Still waiting for my hasta la vista CD as well.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to receive this ridiculous email! I too renewed early last year, so as to get a new presale code to buy tikcets to U2s Helsinki gigs and according to my account info, my membership won't expire until February 2011!

What the hell is u2.com playing at now? 'Oh, bored coz U2 aren't on the road/in the studio, let's freak out the paid up members of Zootopia by sending them bogus "your membership will expire within 30 days" emails and see how many write and complain'!?!

Not funny!!!!!!!

 

[lauramullen]

This is what my profile says:

Your subscription is set to expire on : 25 March 2011

Maybe it is an automatic email that gets sent out.

 

[Pop Artist]

A pal called Fanfire, and they say the e-mails are a mistake (Duh!).

 

[Sicy]

Ok well at least I am not alone WOW. I'm not so worried anymore then. Just another U2.com FAIL.

 

[super fly guy]

I got an email aswell,i was gonna sell my other copy of artificial horizon!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

WTF. I just got an email telling me my subscription is set to expire in 30 days. My subscription is good until November 2010.

i got one too. i just renewed mine! though i logged on to check just in case they somehow pretended they never got the renewal (even though i got a confirmation email, lol) and they actually gave me bonus days. even as of today, i've still got over a year before mine expires.

 

[corianderstem]

From @U2:

Thanks to all who've emailed about this -- we got the same emails,
too. U2.com/Fanfire is sending out emails telling members that their
U2.com membership will expire in 30 days, even though everyone renewed
within the last few months. Via Aaron of U2wanderer.org posting on
Twitter, Fanfire is aware of the mistake. You can login to U2.com,
click ACCOUNT INFO at the top of the page, and on your profile you
should see a correct expiration date for your membership. It looks
like expiration dates have changed for some users, possibly due to the
fan club asking members not to renew too early late last year.

morons.

Noooo they got you? I hope yours was at least almost set to expire!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

lol, yeah. actually ian payed for it so i didn't care. he made a point that two accounts would be best since (fingers crossed) they should be announcing tour dates there within the next 12 months.

 

[gvox]

Oh ok so this is happening to everyone. I thought it was a bit funny given I've already received AH

 

[U2Mama]

I just got the email too and my account doesn't expire until October--I panicked a bit then came over here and saw that I wasn't the only one. Maybe someday they'll get their act together!

 

[kassandra]

I also received the email today and came straight here to find out what is going on! I have to come to the blue crack to get the correct info

When I clicked on the link that was emailed to me I got to this page: You have reached this page because either you have a 2nd presale code already (2 presale codes is the limit) or you are a new subscriber in the Magnificent group and not eligible for a 2nd presale code. If you feel you have reached this in error please contact customer support.

which is not true either since I am a horizon member

Luckily my profile page has the correct expiration date and says I am horizon. I would FREAK OUT if they moved me to magnficent.

From atu2 (atu2) on Twitter

Be on the lookout for a "wooops"-style email from U2.com/Fanfire soon.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

i got an email too....maybe we should all just renew and then cancel....that'll show them

 

[LyricalDrug]

Got the email. It's really, really amazing how incompetent U2.com is. Doesn't Sebastian Clayton run that site, or something? Ol' Adam needs to give him a kick in the pants... actually, who am I kidding, slacker-dom probably runs in the family

Paul McGuinness, please pick up a white courtesy phone...

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I am sure they would screw up the refunds too.

 

[hibricc]

To summarize... I failed to renew before my subscription expired, so I am S O L. Back of the bus with all the newbies.

Bummer.

Happy Day today.

Rec'd the "expiring in 30, renew now" email from u2.com (despite the fact that I'm quite sure my membership had recently expired). Quickly renewed, and my Horizon status is intact, with membership expiration date of Mar26, 2011.

 

[Katiesheb]

I am glad I am not the only one who received that e-mail. What idiots!!!

 

[nathan1977]

I clicked through until I found this message:
"Not sure if you noticed but we've made a mistake. We were trying to remind a few of you that your subscription was coming to an end and it went to some folks it shouldn't have and now we've got you all confused!"
From here: http://www.u2.com/static/index/index/content/renew

Does "no sh*t" sum it up nicely?
