No Holiday Love from TER for me

I just had to re up my VIP and noticed after doing so that TER is offering free days added to subscription for newbies who sign up but not giving out anything to the rest of us who have already been trolling here. WTF TER, how about some holiday cheer for the rest of us?

OMG I was going to post about it when I saw it...

Shouldn't rewarding already paying customers be just as important as attracting new ones?

Re: It prevents giving out multiple 'joining' promotions…

as some ppl may have joined during holiday/special promotions in the past.

Courtney is right. This is marketing 101 and everyone does it.

And, yes, it does piss off some existing customers, but most of them get it. Besides, offering a sign-up deal to new members is fairly cheap. Give-aways to tens of thousands of existing members (and there are more than 27,000 of us on the site as I write this) would be very expensive. Besides, if you don't want to pay there are plenty of ways to win free VIP days by doing things that help the site. Like reviewing or correcting errors in reviews or suggesting posts be moved to more appropriate boards.
