Moniker special transfer price problem

[legendwx]

Didn't this special offer end on 15 october ?

I no more have this special price today

Can anyone check in his moniker account?

Thx

Special Price appears to be gone from what I can see as well. I guess they've raised it under the guise that transfers initiated now will likely clear on or after October 15.

Is your normal price $6.95? It's only a dime.

I transferred a name around 6am est & it was not $6.85. It totaled $7.44

false advertising as it is still "october 10th" in EST
also transfers are not 6.85 nor 6.95 but 7.44

enom ended on the 10th as well (for transfers) at $6.75 for ETPs.
Its now $6.95 until the 14th.

Rather than prematurely conclude false advertising or what not, why not try
to resolve the issue with Moniker first? Or are some of you so eager beaver
about the whole thing?

If you did but no answer yet, then PM mcahn.

I know why Moniker raise'd their transfer fee before all other fees now.

All pending transfers that dragg'ed across the "cut-off date" will incurr'ed extra cost to Moniker when the transfers get completed on the new price period.

Take a look at "some" other registrar's policy (which cause more hassles, I presume):

-All the Pending gTLD Transfer Orders (i.e. orders that haven't yet been executed) throughout your Reseller Chain will be canceled by the system on 12th October, 2007. These orders can be placed again by you / your Customers from 13th October onwards.

-Also, the Transfer Orders that are currently in status 'Awaiting Admin Contact approval' will also be canceled by the system. These again, can be placed by you / your Customers from 13th October onwards.

what say you?

Moniker is one of my 2 favorite registars. They and eNom are the best IMO.
But right now, and until the 14th, at eNOM its back to my normal ETP pricing of $6.95 for transfers. It was $6.75 until the 10th.
at eNOM, the transfer price will remain fixed until the 14th.
Registrars pay the registry at the time of the initiation of the transfer, so there is no reason to raise the price until after the 14th.
