Big FInish sent me a subscription reminder... yeah...

I think it odd to receive a "subscription ending" reminder in a range where you subscribe by series, as opposed to a certain number of releases. In my opinion the former model makes a reminder unnecessary because when someone subscribes to a series they only want that series. If they wanted more series, they would subscribe again. (Remembering to 'renew' is much easier because they have the context of choosing a clearly-labelled, pre-determined set rather than choosing a certain number of releases.)

This differs from, say, a Main Range subscription which is based on subscribing to 6 or 12 releases, starting from a point the user has complete control over. The lack of creator-determined (and clearly-labelled) divisions make it easy to forget that your subscription will expire next month.

I do realise that many Big Finish series are based on limiting ranges to an arbitrary number of releases per year (and may not have a series-arc). However, I still think there is a difference because the divisions are based on what the creator decides (not what the user chooses) which makes these kind of reminders unnecessary.

I think it's just automatic Ela, as I got one recently even though I am subscribed to late next year. But I did subscribe in groups of twelve so I assume that when one subscription group of twelve (or six) releases is reached, the e-mail is sent. Probably pointless, but easier to leave it on auto-pilot than miss somebody out who hasn't re-subscribed and have them miss out or start moaning they got no reminder!

And hopefully with the new web site it will be.
