My Photobucket Pro account was recently " automatically " renewed. Simple right ???
When I received my notice, I found out that the renewal amount for 1 year was $39.95

I had noticed some time ago that they had an add to sign up for an annual Pro account in the amount of $24.95
When I questioned the $15.00 difference, I was told that if I wanted it done automatically, the fee was $39.95

I asked for a refund of the renewal fee and it's been given back to me.
I have since done the manual renewal in the amount of $24.95 and have marked my account to not renew
automatically next year.

Be careful out there. Sometimes making it easy for the company isn't in your best interest.

By rights, allowing them to automatically renew my accounts assured them of a continued steady income and,
i, the customer, should have been rewarded for it. The current situation at Photobucket appears to be just the reverse.
