How long does it take to hear back from site admin regarding membership renewal questions?

[Tin Man]

I reached out to site admin yesterday with some specific questions and would like to know how long it takes to hear back from them?
I understand yesterday was Thanksgiving, but I have not heard back from anyone today.
Has anyone had any issues with contacting admin?

Also, for those of you that are members, how do you renew...automatic renewal settings, manually, or ??
Thanks

In January of this year, the site automatically renewed my membership although there is no way of choosing. So, like it or not it was charged to my CC. I was kinda taken aback by this, but then I was going to renew anyway. I just prefer the choice as it comes up.
As far as the administration getting back to you, I have no experience regarding that. Perhaps an @Canoe will send him a nudge.

What do you want to know exactly? I can look it up for you and help you with the supporting membership.

I agree that I would prefer to have that choice as well but I guess it's like all businesses; once they get your card # they assume they have permission to charge it automatically, kinda not the way it should be!

I agree. When you give that card to a vendor it should be used one time and one time only unless both you and the vendor agree otherwise at that time or some future time. Unfortunately, at times some vendors extreme need or greed takes over and they feel like they have carte blanche.

Is it the standard procedure that my membership is automatically renewed and my CC on file charged without my knowledge and consent? I do not remember reading that membership would be done that way!

Inquiring minds want to know.

It certainly shouldn't be charged automatically as there is no provision for the members to choose that.
I don't mind a reminder to renew and then renew if I want to or leave an option to choose this.

There is a way around the auto payment thing. In my case I wanted to help the site, but didn't want to give my CC info. I'm just odd that way. So I contacted Canoe and asked where I could send a check. Sent him a check for the cost of membership and rounded it up to some even number and next thing I knew, I was a member. I suspect at some point either Canoe will reach out to me again or I'll notice I'm no longer a member and I'll cut him another check. I like small sites like this. The large corp owned places aren't my cup of tea. (The hull truth) is a prime example of what was great turned into turd.)

I thought it was illegal for a business to hold credit card information. I know some websites that I buy from give you the option to save the number if you buy from them frequently such as Amazon but I dont think they can just do it automatically. There again I am not a business owner but ran a business when the owners were away and was always told when a person paid over the phone I was to destroy the information if I had to write it down.
