canceled mine also. At least you can do it from the site now.

 

[mYm|17|]

Cancelled my membership. good work, internet, I knew I could count on you to handle this.

Did mine earlier. Good to see this finally get resolved

 

[luxarific]

Is the online cancellation option actually confirmed to work? Or is it another case of a "web-site coding error" like the first method was?

 

[DeadGzuz]

Why yes you can!

Log in, edit your account, click on Membership Status then follow the simple process of changing your membership to "no additional term", then clicking a couple times, then indicating whether or not you would like to set auto-renew, then click a couple more times, and indicate whether or not you would like to cancel your account.

Thanks. I'm glad to finally be done with this, what a hassle. Too bad they didn't just fix the Amazon thing.

 

[Somnid]

I just canceled the auto-renew. It's a little tough to find but at least it makes it clear what is happening to your account. It also looks like GOG and Walmart might have discounts via the ECA, so seeing as I've been through all this I might as well stay on and see if I can make more use of these things.

 

[Bizzyb]

Done and done.

Wow, can't believe they finally gave us an option that should ave been there day one

 

[Costanza]

Turned off auto renew but kept my account active for now in case Amazon comes back.

Same! Hopefully Amazon does come back.

[Codeblue]

Canceled my membership via CAG list. I'm glad to be done with them, I don't care what kind of perks they have or accomplishments they make, they're never getting my support again.

 

[Mindlog]

Got the heads up. Turned off auto-renew.

 

[MrPliskin]

So I take it this means:

Gamers: 1
ECA: 0

 

[practice02]

I'm just finding out about the ECA so it's the NRA, but for Video game nerds?

 

[NomarTyme]

Nice! turning off auto renewal.

 

[Phreak47]

Turned off auto renew... plus, used a virtual CC to register in the first place so I think they'd have trouble trying to charge me 10 months from now anyway.

 

[Chrange]

They wiped all the posts complaining about their actions. :lol

 

[pizzapizza64]

*EDIT*
Nevermind, I figured it out.

 

[slit]

Turned my auto-renewal off. I never even got to use any of the Amazon discounts. :-(

 

[Struct09]

Turned off auto-renew, but kept my account alive. Pretty much all I wanted to be able to do, so I'm satisfied.

 

[GeeDuhb]

I knew if I just sat back, everything would get figured out in due time

As someone else said, the cancellation thing is ridiculous. At first, I only canceled the auto renew, but then upon thinking about it more, I wanted their membership to drop drastically...so I canceled it all together.

It a shame that they might still survive after all this hoopla...

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I see their forums are back up with absolutely no room for feedback or comments. :lol

 

[1-D_FTW]

Went to log in and my auto-renewal was turned off. So I'm guessing they just honored the earlier auto-renewal cancels that were "web errors that weren't real"?

EDIT: Snap! You can flat out cancel? Done!

It makes their statements on "never worked" appear sort of stupid doesn't it?

 

[Neuromancer]

You and me both. Assy.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Waiting for the inevitable PR about how great they are because they make it so easy to cancel their membership.

 

[prodystopian]

Wow, I just went to turn off auto renew, and it already was.

I literally haven't been there since the whole thing went down hoping they would make an online cancellation.

 

[52club]

I wish there was a BBB feedback that states this company only did the correct thing after their initial reaction blew up in their face.

I cancelled all benefits and auto-renew. I am ashamed to have given $20 to this group. I would have rather just paid the 10% to Amazon on my purchases.

 

[polyh3dron]

Did anyone else's membership disappear on its own? Mine did.

 

[Neuromancer]

Were you presenting constructive criticism on their forum?

 

[gogojira]

Canceled. Internet wins.

 

[SlickVic]

Thanks to GAF and CAG for being on top of this. Just turned off auto-renew online, still keeping my membership until it expires to see if the Amazon discount ever comes back (probably not likely but doesn't hurt). Feels great to finally be able to do that.

 

[Wario64]

My membership just got canceled via Google's free postcard thingy a while ago. Just got my cancellation email today.

 

[nataku]

Nevermind, they put the steps to cancel on a page other than account settings.

 

[RedNumberFive]

I wish there was a BBB feedback that states this company only did the correct thing after their initial reaction blew up in their face.

I was disappointed with that as well. I pretty much said as much in my closing comment.

 

[Provider]

HAHa I can't believe the Gmail postcard worked.

 

[Costanza]

Oh fuck, according to CAG, people who CANCELED ARE BEING AUTO-RENEWED AND CHARGED NOW.

jesus christ, fuck this organization.

 

[TriniTrin]

HAHa I can't believe the Gmail postcard worked.

hahaha! me either! I cant remember what it said but it was funny.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Oh fuck, according to CAG, people who CANCELED ARE BEING AUTO-RENEWED AND CHARGED NOW.

jesus christ, fuck this organization.

Ah great...

 

[Legendbyname]

My membership actually ends today. So we'll see how this ends...

 

[LQX]

Just checked to make sure my membership page says auto-new is off and it is.

 

[marathonfool]

Since this got bumped. They added the ability to cancel membership online. FYI.

 

[Costanza]

Just checked to make sure my membership page says auto-new is off and it is.

Doesn't matter, apparently.

 

[pje122]

Haha it never ends.

 

[TriniTrin]

If it says My account has not been activated or has been blocked, you think ill get charged?!!??

 

[LQX]

Doesn't matter, apparently.

How so? Regardless, I will just call my credit card for a charge back if they do.

 

[Neuromancer]

HAL HAAAAAALPIN

 

[Cep]

Oh fuck, according to CAG, people who CANCELED ARE BEING AUTO-RENEWED AND CHARGED NOW.

jesus christ, fuck this organization.

The fuck...

 

[Mr. B Natural]

jesus christ, fuck this organization.

What happened to the threats of lawsuits and stuff. Are they calling everyone's bluff?

 

[botticus]

My membership would have renewed on Tuesday, and I've not been hit with any charges. I canceled through the website, not by mail, though.

 

[Najaf]
