same - we can get get refunds though. i need to do that. the membership hasn't helped me since '03.
Yes I remember, Gazza - and I did turn the "auto renewal" to OFF - so this a surprise.
...when thinking a bit more; I never did buy a RScom membership, but had to pay an extra fee when getting the Slane ticket from ticketmaster
...and Happy new Year to you
Did you get all the beers for warning us?
Nope.
You're all a shower of lying bastards.

I was surprised to see this message in my inbox as I have not been on the RS site in eons. Is there a charge for this?

You are screwed. Not only are they most likely doing to charge you but, that being the case if that is correct you just paid for a whole lot of nothin'!
But really, I don't know.

My "legacy platinum" membership renewed automatically in August, costing me $100. I was pretty sure that there would be a tour this year. Damn.

yeah, the automatic renewals cost the same as the "deliberate" renewals.
but if you cancel it right away, they'll refund the money.

Well, I started my membership by writing a number of my ticket in 2006. It was supposed to be for 1 year. Yet I still have the membership (I guess, haven't tried in a very long time) and I recived that message as well. But they can not charge me, I never payed anything and they don't have any number of my card or anything. Anyone else has this "problem"? :-)
To be honest, during those 2,5 years I spent maybe 30 minutes in the "members only" section. It is quite useless really. There is much more interesting stuff here...

smile: well, if it's a free membership that's renewing, and the charge for the automatic renewal costs the same,
they should still refund the 0 fee if you cancel it. :E
in other words: sorry, i didn't read the original post too thoroughly!

I got the same damn thing today.
A few months ago I thought I cancelled my two paying memberships by calling them (on the advice of Gazza who gave me all contact info inc fone #).
They did it right away over the phone (and I know that on one of them, I was quite close to renewal time) and they refunded both 100 fees which actually showed up rather quickly as a credit on my credit card account. Couldnt believe it.
Far as I know, I still have at least one free membership.
But this one from today is unclear if it is a renewal of a free one or a paying one.
Guess I will know when I see my statement.
But Gazza has a lot of knowledge about this and how to get your money back. Perhaps he will post here.
And did u notice their slopiness:
We look forward to spending another exciting your on-line together.
maybe they meant they look forward to spending your money.

I also recieved the
"Greetings,

...can't remember how I got the membership in the first place; if it was a free membership - or if I bought it while getting the Slane Castle ticket.
How does one go abouts to get a refund? Can't find any "get refund"-option at "my account" at RS.com...
First time I visited RScom in over a year
EDIT: Nevermind....following T&A's advice; I see they don't have any card-info on me....thanks heaven

A couple of years ago they changed the default option on everyone's membership to 'auto renewal' - doing so without notifying the members. I mentioned this on here at the time and a lot of people then changed their options to prevent this happening to them in future.
Never ceases to amaze me why people are still willingly giving these con-artists money. Their entire operation is based on deceit and vague half-promises which end up unfulfilled.

Who actually runs this scam?
I assume it is endorsed by the Stones and/or their management....otherwise their lawyers would soon be after them, I would have thought.
I mean who/where would you write to if you wished to make a complaint?

Ultrastar run the site. Cohl's son Jake is involved in managing it. And of course its endorsed by the Stones - its their official site.
Addresses and phone numbers are on the site itself - its based on New York
If you need to mail them, write to support@rollingstones.com. Expect an automated reply to begin with, but they'll usually write back in a few days.

I received the mail too.
I also suscribed with a ticket concert in 2007,but of course it coasted nothing;
there's so much more interesting stuff here!!
I am wondering if they could use the credit card number I gave to buy stuff on the RS Store?
What do you think?
I can't access to the "my account" part,don't know why..
I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

My account was automatically renewed as well. However, I checked and:
a) The credit card number attached to my profile has expired - so no transaction on this card anymore, it doesn't show up on my bank account;
b) my account, which originally was a platinum membership, got refunded when I didn't use the code to buy tickets. I also remember turning auto-renewal off once.
Now my account appears as a free membership - as when I log on I am offered to upgrade it to a platinum.
So I'd say free memberships are, as are platinum memberships, set to expire. And auto-renewal is activated for free memberships too, and so they are renewed, for free.

Before more damage is done on people's credit card accounts: Go to MY ACCOUNT on rollingstones.com, and edit the credit card number. Just make up a new number with the right number of digits. This prevents the scoundrels at RS.com from accessing your credit card account without your permission to do so.
Good luck!
