Does anyone remember the magazine subscription we "bought" and had to have refunded last year? Has anyone who's signed up noticed if they're doing that scam-- I mean, wonderful runaround of a deal-- again this year? I think I finally got my hand-addressed envelope with nondescript $10 check around November. BTW, I will add my yearly suggestion to check to see if your credit card company provides one-time use credit cards for online purchases. I set up a temporary card number with like a $40 limit and 2 month expiration, and when it runs out and Real tries to charge me again, I get a nice email telling me to update the CC info or risk losing access to Real. I reply to it saying I don't want to continue to subscribe and I've spent too much time on hold trying to cancel, and get a nice email back thanking me for my business. It's worked 3 years in a row now.

I never cancelled my superpass so when I opened it yesterday, I saw a tab that said BB8, they have their message boards up, clips from last year, and other little gems.

Hi all! I signed up for the 3 month BB/Superpass today. I'm going to test out that "Entire Season" theory, lol. I just want to mention that, at the bottom of the registration page, there is a note that Real will NOT automatically end your subscription. Unless you cancel, you will be automatically signed up for the next 3 months. (!)

Just a reminder for those who don't already know this fact. You MUST CALL (I wouldn't trust an email for this) and cancel your SuperPass subscription as Real will automatically bill your credit card for an additional 3 months of service and continue to do so until you cancel. I know from experience.

Justin42, that blind credit card number is an excellent idea. I had heard that most credit cards will give you a one-time "blind" number to use, although I have never tried it.

I wonder if someone can refresh my memory. Trying to remember when my credit card gets charged. Is it right away or at the end of the month or months.

Real player charges your card as soon as your trial period is over. I signed up for the 3 month deal with a 3 day free trial and my card has been charged. (my trial period ended yesterday.)

Although I never experienced difficulty when cancelling my subscription after BB, I read of so many people having problems that I started changing the expiration date of my credit card right after they charged me for the 3 months. I made it expire at the end of September so it couldn't be charged in October even if I forgot to call to cancel.

Well..... here is how I see things (as someone that earns referral fees via my site). There are a couple options. You can sign up via the early bird link everyone is advertising. That gets you 3 days 'free' feeds and then 1 'Quarter' (3 months) for $30. You can also just get 1 month for $12.99. Via the same 'early bird' page. The other option is to get the same old 2 week free trial (still offerred via links) and then see how you feel about things after 2 weeks. The "Early Bird" special expires the day before the official show premire. The two week free trial has been offered all year - just not something they have been advertising of late. Just be aware that anyone (including myself) that says 'click here' is probably getting a referral if you sign up via that link. But I'm not gonna put up a link in this post so nya nya! Myself, I would get the 2 week free trial and see how I felt after that. As it is I'm being comp'd by Real this year to do the blog thing I did last year so I don't want to sound like I had to make the decision (but I did pay every year from BB2-bb6).

I just bought the live feeds and when I try to play it says: Connection to server could not be established. Is anyone else getting this? They said it may be due to high traffic........

I just signed up for the feeds with the coupon its $30 for the summer. I think we paid $27 last summer? I hope they do the feeds better this year since they hiked up the cost (could had been $40 for the summer).

Do you all know that with your superpass you can download $10 in music per month and get a free game every month?

Reloader you don't need it. Just use the no time out links. They are in the Links folder. You can't change windows in the quad, but you can create shortcuts for each camera. That's what I do.
