I imagine that even if we sell some of these passes and THOROUGHLY EXPLAIN how it works......we'll still have people coming in complaining about it. If only people really and truly knew how to listen.......hehe

Personally I like it automatically renewing, since I'm not planning on canceling it for a few months it gets rid of the hassle of remembering to go renew it. Last time I had it I almost got charged a ton of late fees because my sister had paid for the pass that time (we used to get it only during vacations) and didn't tell me that she didn't have it automatically renew like I had done before so I was late by a few days. The manager was nice enough to override the charges though.

Just came back from Blockbuster, got the 2 movie pass and borrowed Girl with a Pearl Earing and Scary Movie 3. Considering my intership doesn't start until Aug, I have a bunch of free time;)

I can see it from both sides. Some customers would rather do things month by month and not worry about renewing things. Others like the fact that it doesn't run out and it just renews itself if you don't cancel. I'm just not all that wild about giving out my CC number. I know that there is practically no chance of a problem with it but I like knowing that there are few places that know my credit card info(and yes Newegg is one of those few that do. ) :D

Blockbuster has my CC number anyways, I don't have a local number so they requested it.
