Paid Time Reimbursement
In light of the rough periods we've experienced during the past couple of weeks, outgrowing our network topology & being attacked in a Distributed Denial of Service, we thought it only fair to give back some of your paid time.

Those of you who had a paid account during the month of June are eligible for an instant 2 weeks of free service, even if your paid account has since expired. Alternatively, if you have plans to purchase 6 or 12 months of service during the next week, you're eligible to receive 2 additional months of service for free. Both offers can be found for the next 7 days on the Paid Time Reimbursement page, and they apply to any eligible account you manage (communities, etc).

We apologize for the recently spotty service, but as always we're working hard to overcome these challenges.


We'd like to clarify that the 2 month option is only available for payments that have been fully processed, so it can take a while for the reimbursement page to update with the proper option. If you only see the 2 week option on the reimbursement page, either refresh the page or wait until your payment has totally cleared (Our credit card processing should be instant, but PayPal payments can sometimes take hours to clear).

Note: We're still running into some issues checking for accounts that have expired in the past month, and there are still some instances where people are getting "you are ineligible" errors. We're working as fast as we can to fix these problems, so please be patient. I'll update this post again when I have more information.

Update: We've made a couple of changes for eligibility checks, so if you were getting the "you are ineligible" error before you should try again.

I don't have to give any more money to LJ as a holder of a Perm Account (though I do in the form of paid account gifts for friends), so even though this doesn't really affect my account status in any way, y'all still rock for being thoughtful when it comes to the paid userbase. It may be a small thing in the long run, but it's a good move to keep people happy.

Very similar question...
[info]halomouse

I renewed my account on the 22nd, a few hours after it expired...

I'm very grateful for the reimbursement, but I almost feel like I'm being punished for having faith in you guys (a month and a half is no small deal to me).

Sorry if I'm coming across whiny or ungracious; it's not meant that way at all!

Keep up the good work. You're being awfully good sports about all the crap that's been coming your way lately.

You are not currently eligible to receive any paid time.

Alas, even though I'm still a paid user 'til the second of July, it won't work for me. *sigh* And I thought I was safe for another two weeks. ;_;
