PhotoPoint start charging for service in May

Did anyone else get this E-Mail from PhotoPoint? Here's what I got.


Please note, this email is being sent to inform you about a change in your PhotoPoint account. Even if you have opted out of promotional messages, we are required to contact you regarding this important change.


Dear Member,

PhotoPoint has dedicated its business to protecting your pictures and allowing you to share them easily with your family and friends. We thank you for making PhotoPoint the #1 online photography company.

To continue providing you the online photo experience you enjoy, we need to make several changes to our service in the coming weeks. Most significant is that, starting in mid-May, PhotoPoint.com will no longer be a free service, except for limited "trial" memberships.

We believe you deserve to get real value for your dollars. For the past six months we have conducted surveys and talked directly with members to learn what people want from an online photo company. We have built a full-service program based on value, not just storage, designed by users like you.

As a PhotoPoint Member, you will enjoy all of the current PhotoPoint features including secure photo albums and PicCheer photo postcards, plus:

Save 5% off all print orders for the year
Create and Save up to 5 SmashCast Movies - add music and graphics to your photos
Store up to 1000 photos*
Print at Home service - print photos at home like a pro
Enjoy express customer service
Receive our PhotoPointersTM Tutorial Series - valuable tips and tricks for improving your photography

For a limited time, you can join for an entire year for a one-time charge of $19.95, and we'll include 25 free prints (the prints alone are a $12 value). As a valued member, you also have the option of a special lower priced basic membership, which does not include prints, for just $9.95 for the year. These introductory offers will end April 30, 2001.

We want to thank you for your loyal support of PhotoPoint, and look forward to continuing to provide you with the best photo service on the Internet. If you have any questions, please visit our More Information page, or contact Customer Service.





Your Membership
Purchase is Secure

Sincerely,

Ed Bernstein,
CEO
PhotoPoint.com




* For members with more than 1000 photos in their PhotoPoint account, an additional $9.95 yearly fee will be charged per 1000 photos.

* Due to shipping restrictions, prints are currently unavailable to members who live outside the US and Canada. In lieu of free prints, those members will receive one free month of membership when they select the $19.95 membership fee.

Your Membership purchase is processed through our secure MarketPlace, which is approved by VeriSign, the industry standard in online security verification.

Yea, what a bummer! I know this didn't have anything to do with Appearance but most of use it to post pics and wanted to make sure it wasn't a hoax. I could start using my idrive account couldn't I? I'm gonna try it.
