Why should i keep my VMP?

@cengland0 how/when did you get a free item??

@cengland0 subject line for that please?

@haydesigner The order date is in the image. I found out about it through an email they sent to all vmp members who are subscribed to their emails. Or maybe it was sent to all paid memberships.

@connorbush

@cengland0 odd, I am subscribed and did not seem to have received that email

@connorbush for future reference, check your junk or spam folder frequently. It’s probably too late now because servers usually empty them every 30 days.

@cengland0 sad and weird, I get all their other emails. Thanks for heads up

@cengland0 @connorbush At the time, a BUNCH of people didn’t get it, both VMPs and regular members with the heart shield, yet some regular members DID get it. And it was never explained. It was kind of insulting to those of us who didn’t!

@cengland0 @Kyeh depression

@cengland0 @connorbush
I know, right? But the freebies weren’t that amazing (said the fox, walking away from those undoubtedly sour grapes just out of reach.)

Well, I DEFINITELY did not get that email. And I’ve been a VMP for eons and am subscribed to all emails. This makes me sad, @snapster…

@cengland0 @connorbush @haydesigner
I’m terrible at checking my email! Fortunately it was called out here in the forums and that’s how I became aware.

@cengland0 @connorbush @haydesigner @Lynnerizer If you want to salt the wound, here’s what you missed.

Nothing earthshaking, but free is nice.

@blaineg @cengland0 @connorbush @haydesigner @Lynnerizer looks like I actually got 3 emails, but did not open them because they looked like the spammy “member exclusive deals” emails from morningsave.

@mike808 they ship wine free too?

@Hskrjer99 Meh got Officially Informed that (ahem) “Y’all oughta been chargin’ sales tax on that there memmership thang.”

@Hskrjer99 @werehatrack $0.78 sales tax on $5 is 15.6 %! What states you have dual-citizenship in, NJ and HI?
Or are they back-collecting for two months?

@Hskrjer99 @phendrick @werehatrack We’ve seen this before and it’s never fun to explain because people don’t like the answer. When the system realizes that tax should be applied it looks at the most recent payment and checks for tax. If tax was not applied it says, “that’s not right…we’re short xx%” then it tacks that on to the next charge. It wasn’t 15.6% for that payment, it was 7.85% for the previous and another 7.85% for that one. Checking the account shows “Next invoice on Sep 24 for $5.39” Which is what it’ll be every month going forward (unless you join me in a state with no state tax).

Sorry, they caught on.

@ExtraMedium @Hskrjer99 @werehatrack

join me in a state with no state tax

I assume you mean “no state SALES tax”. But, but, but, what is your state INCOME tax? I do not believe there is any state among the 50 that has “no state tax” of any kind, unless it’s a state of induced hallucination.

@Hskrjer99 welcome to the world of “if it moves, tax it.” Next comes “If it keeps moving, regulate it”, and then eventually if ‘it’ is acceptable to TPTB, “if it stops moving, subsidize it”.

@ExtraMedium @phendrick @werehatrack But why not just lower the VMP price to like $4.64 so that we only get charged the previously agreed upon $5?? Can’t be that many VMPs left

@Hskrjer99 There are a lot more VMPs than you think. This is a two year old thread, but I’m pretty sure that most are still VMPs.

https://meh.com/forum/topics/vmp-roll-call

@Barney @Hskrjer99 I think the number of VMPs is still around a shit-ton or two. Even during the VMP-only hour of Mehrathons, there’s still no chance to get an IRK.

@ExtraMedium @Hskrjer99
Meh is still charging the agreed upon 5 bucks. Your state is charging the rest.

@mike808 This “puppet reads my high school essay” is not great. C-

@chienfou It was much more entertaining last year when the Mehrathons were frequent.

@duodec
THIS (the forum) is the mostly part I am entertained by!

@Ignorant Best reason so far.
