I want to stop auto renewal but do not want to end membership.
The site info on this is confusing and suggests that if I end my auto-renewal, my membership will concurrently end.
Yes that’s how it works. If you cancel the auto renewal your membership ends.
Edited to add: the membership ends on the expiration date.
Thanks. That is a wee bit scammy.
I understand committing for a year or s specific given period. But holding one “hostage” (yes, a bit dramaitic on my end) is wrong.
It shouldn’t end immediately - just on the date when the membership is due for renewal.

This is exactly the contradiction I see. And, the fact that you and idocsteve have differing opinions confirms it !
I regularly take off auto renew and get offered a 20% discount to stay. My membership would just run its course.

My bad. I should have said when you cancel auto renewal your membership ends on the expiration date.(but any pending sits must be canceled).

Hi @toreishi If you cancel auto-renewal, I don’t think the system will allow you to confirm any sits for dates that are beyond your final day of paid membership. You will also lose access to your inbox as soon as you are no longer a paying member, so it’s worth exchanging private contact details with anyone you may have been messaging via THS inbox, so that you still have a way to contact them if needs be. Even if you decide to take a break and don’t renew straight away, your profile and reviews are kept on file for around 2 years, so you wouldn’t need to start again from scratch. And as @Twitcher mentions, THS often offer a discount to stay if you’re not set to auto-renew.
