5. What is the difference between a renewal payment and a maintenance fee payment?
A. We offer a Premier membership option on all of our subscriptions. Readers who love our work and plan to keep reading and using our research for years to come have the option to save hundreds and even thousands of dollars per year by becoming Premier members to their favorite or several of their favorite newsletters.
Rather than paying the full annual subscription fee every year, Premier readers pay a one-time-only fee to upgrade. Then, the only thing they are ever charged is a small annual maintenance fee, usually a fraction of the annual cost of the subscription. This fee is to cover the rising costs of operations.
