In case you are like me and rarely check your email (except for the ones from me of course) you haven’t seen the news that came out today about the discontinuation of the Savings Club from Coupons.com. I have to say this is not a total shock to me. I didn’t think the value was there for the cost, they did have some nice coupons but it just didn’t seem to catch on. All the details are listed below:

An Important Update on the Coupons.com Savings Club
Dear Valued Savings Club Member,
We’ve made a decision to discontinue the Coupons.com Savings Club premium subscription program and want to share with you details about that decision and how it affects your current membership.
After July 10, 2013, premium Savings Club coupons will no longer be available when you log in to Coupons.com.
- Starting now and through July 10, 2013 (more than a month), you will continue to have access when logged in to clip and print premium Savings Club coupons.
- Effective immediately, we are halting any and all billings, so you won’t be charged again. You will be receiving a separate email notice from either TrialPay or Recurly (our payment processors) stating that your subscription with them has been canceled – but you will still be able to get premium Savings Club coupons through July 10, 2013.
- For annual subscribers, we are refunding to you within 1 week the pro rata, remaining portion of your last payment as of May 30, 2013. For example, if there are 6 of 12 months left on your subscription (half) as of today, we’ll be crediting your credit card with half of your $30 subscription fee.
I think they handled every issue that could come up with canceling a program like this. What did you think? Are you happy to see it go? Sad? or just thinking “Who Cares?”
