jimbo4 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 A snippet of cautionary information for anyone considering purchasing a period of days with RLC Replay. Once you have activated it, the days count down irrespective of if you use it or not. For instance, You purchase an 180 day package today, where it might be considered reasonable to think that you can use them in an ad-hoc basis, two days this week, one day next week, nothing for a week, and so forth..... forget it.....If you purchase today, no matter what, your entitlement will finish in 180 days time. Personally, I believe that Replay is a great addition used occasionally, but not every day perhaps, RLC should consider allowing the purchase to be open ended. failing that, then perhaps they should change the way it is marketed, and make it clear that it is a set period of time. I know that some people will not agree with me concerning this, but that's life I guess.

It should be incorporated in with the Monthly Subscription they charge. All the other Sites VHTV, VV and Camarads include it within the Price of their Monthly Subscription no matter whether you Pay Monthly, 3 Months or 6 Months. For RLC to charge an extra $30 a Month only constitutes a Cash Grab. If a person works all day why should they have to pay an extra $30 because they missed something. 5 2

Kkru394 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 If you bought a 30 day subscription to Netflix and used Netflix maybe 6 days during that month, do you think you should or would get credit for non used days? . How about Hulu or Amazon or just about any other monthly service? It’s the same concept. I agree that RLC should have made it part of the monthky package but I don’t know why they’d make it Ad-hoc if no other business would.

Expand It should be Ad -hoc because the person has already paid out for premium membership in the first place to qualify him to get replay. There is no comparison with your Netflix scenario. 2

True you need to buy the premium membership first but you also have the option not to buy the replay subscription just like any other monthly subscription service. The only difference is it’s 10 days or 30 days or 90 days straight usage instead of a month to month like the premium membership or Netflix

Expand In actual fact, For those who live in a time zone that is incompatible with watching Leora for instance, should be given the choice of either premium membership OR replay, it would in my opinion increase RLC's revenues, and be more acceptable to those interested in joining but being prevented by either time zones or extortionate profiteering by RLC . Charles Forte's doctrine of " pile it high and sell it cheap " comes to mind, and it made him a multi - millionaire. 1
