Special Notice for Former Beta Members
Please Note This Announcement Only Effects Customers Who Joined During our Beta Period. Anyone who joined Marketing ICE ON or AFTER May 3rd, 2007 Does Not Need to worry about this announcement.
On May 3rd we officially came out of our beta period and while we are still improving Marketing ICE a great deal we are now full bore and taking in new customers left and right. For those new customers we have be remarkably bug free despite the massive amount of custom Programming Ben Fitts has done in the past 60 days. But Beta members are having some confusion due to the change.
Here is the deal we opened our Beta and offered monthly cost of 99 dollars a month with a deep discount on the first 60 days for monthly beta members. Annual members paid 495 for a full year of access. During the Beta we analyzed the cost to deliver services and determined we could at least in the beginning sell for a much lower rate. This required a complete change of our process though. Here is how each type of Beta member was effected.
1. Free Members - Your membership was simply deleted. You can now access the 12 free videos by opting in on the home page. Using your old information won't work. Free members now only get access to the 12 free videos. The forum, the rest of the videos and all the other perks are for paying members only. When you see our new pricing you will understand why.
2. Monthly Paid Members - We wanted to thank you for your help so we rebated our monthly members 100% of their cost of membership. That is right their full access during beta was totally free. Unfortunately this required us to delete your membership information as well. You now can choose to resign up with a new account at a much lower cost or just keep your refund. Most of our monthly members have already chosen to sign back up. But a few have been confused by the deletion of their old account.
3. Annual Paid Members - We wanted to do something really really special for our annual members. So here is what we did, we gave them lifetime access to the site with no more charges ever. There were only a few that took us up on the annual membership and they made out pretty good on the deal. Annual members were manualy converted so they do not need to resign up or anything at all like that, they can just continue to enjoy full access and will never get another bill.
Again any members that joined in the past week or so are not effected by any of this.
Let us know if there is any additional confusion,
~ Jack

Hey Jack,
Free Members have now been purged.
I wanted to make an offer for them.
Their forum user names still exist though. So if someone decides to upgrade and wants to keep their old username… they will need to follow the formula below:
1. Signup and pay for their new account
2. Use a DIFFERENT forum username during signup
3. Contact us at our support address (or here) and let us know their old forum username so we can manually change it for them
