Premium membership reservations?

MMARN, BSN, RN · Apr 27, 2006

For me is that I simply do NOT have the money. I'm trying to scrounge some up from anybody in my family so that I can upgrade some time within the next two days, but it's not easy. I'm going to be working A LOT during the summer, so I'll more than likely become one in June or July. So, that's my unfortunate truth. :lol2:

A little bit of both that you mentioned. It's not that I don't have enough money. Just that *for me*, the opportunity to post in the premium forums is not worth paying for.

Money. I am watching every penny right now. I feel kinda guilty posting as much as I do without paying. As soon as I can upgrade I will.

Money is the main reason for me too. I would love to upgrade to premium, but I'm a full-time student, not working, and don't have much money to spend on such things.

Yep, money here. We just bought a house and every spare dime goes into it. It is even to the point of me driving a car that sputters all 15 miles to work, barely can afford groceries, and heck with any extras like renting a movie or something....

I hope to soon, but till then I get to stay this way. It gets tough when every single dollar you earn has a destination away from you before that paycheck gets in your hands....

I did ask for premium membership for nursing appreciation week though from my family :)...maybe that will get me in!

I am still trying to get the hang of finding my way around the basic site. Once I master the basics I might upgrade to Premium, but at the moment I don't comprehend the extra benefit of being a Premium member

:yeahthat: While the perks of being a premium member are nice, I get all I need being just a registered member.

I can hit this from the opposite side. I didn't upgrade for the extra stuff. I just saw it was such a great resource and wanted to help support it. I had a few extra bucks I could swing this way as well, so I wouldn't down anyone that can't. I woulod hope no one would feel guilty if they don't have the money. I've been there, and will probably be there again...lol.

I can see I will use these forums for many years, so much great info.

I became a Premium Member when it first became available, then let it lapse for a while before renewing. I wasn't particularly interested in most of the benefits and couldn't see spending the money. I actually HAVE the money -- but try not to waste money anyway.

Eventually, I found it frustrating not to able to respond to certain posts and my personal mailbox got full. That was enough reason for me to renew the upgrade.

I tried to get a premium membership back in November or December but don't have/don't like paypal. If it was set up to take a debit card/credit card....I would be a paying member.

I joined because I think it's a great site and I wanted to help support it. The Premium Membership started because itwas tough for the owner to get enough good, reliable sponsors to keep it afloat. I do know a few years ago that a lot of other good sites were having the same problem.

As for paying, I do believe you can also pay by check.
