AprilFoolsDay: PremiumRenewal.TV launches premium renewal buyback program
According to my sources:
.TV PREMIUM RENEWAL BUYBACK PROGRAM LAUNCHED?
PremiumRenewal.TV Premium BuyBack Promotion
Supposedly "they" are going to offer legacy premium owners an alternative to renewing or dropping your domains: the Premium BuyBack Promotion.
I don't expect "them" to pay us 100% of what we've invested, but I think they'll be offering us up to 50% of the price for a 1 year premium renewal. There may even be a restocking on top of that. They say: "We reserve the right to end the promo at any time" - Just how much time are they going to give us to decide?
Talk about adding insult to injury.
So if we are paying $4000 a year, we can only expect "up to" $2K as a buyback. But what if we've been paying for several years? WTF? The offer doesn't even make sense, it would be better to drop a name and try to catch it myself... even if I risk losing it.
Instead of offering us a buyback, why don't they just offer us a buyout instead? Perhaps this is their covert way to keep the premiums at their registrar. Because if you drop the domain, it could be picked up at any of the new registrars and they lose management rights.
Ridiculous.
Will you be considering the buyback option VS. simply dropping your premiums?
I may consider it for some of the $10K+ premiums I have bought within the last year. If I get $5K, I'll do it... but that crap about "up to 50%" makes me doubt I'll get a good offer.
Would you let them buyback your premiums?
