Did the price just double?

Just received a subscription renewal notice however my renewal is not due until May  - how has this happened?

Hello Sean, please check your email for information on your subscription payments

SA - Strangely I am no longer unable to access my subscription history, which previously showed that my next payment is due in May.

Found history - confusion over US date system V rest of World.

PayPal would not let me make a foreign transaction.

Gave Strip a go - all good, except that somehow has me down for auto renewal - a definite no no.

At least I am back as a subscriber.

This membership is very beneficial, but Doubling the price is ridiculous. I own my own business, if I decided tomorrow to double my prices, I would be out of business. When you have no competition, you can do that.
