Half off new paid-account LJs

[greatbear]

Is there anyone on my f-list who is currently a "Basic" or "Plus" LJ account holder and has been considering an upgrade to a paid account? Livejournal has this somewhat odd offer to current paid members and permanent account holders (me) which gives them the opportunity to send a $10 dollar "coupon" to basic/plus users toward an upgrade to paid account status. To wit:

Share the love with our $10 holiday coupons! If you're a Paid or Permanent user, you can send up to 10 Basic or Plus users a $10 coupon to upgrade to a one year paid account.

Recipients can upgrade for $9.95 (instead of $19.95) for one year by enrolling in our automatic payment plan or make a manual payment of $15 (instead of $25). Please note that these coupons are not transferable and cannot be used to renew existing paid accounts.

As it says, this cannot go toward paid account renewal (suckage), but does make the first year quite a bit cheaper. Is anyone interested in this? Let me know. The offer seems to last until 15 Jan., though I am not sure if the coupon has to be used on that date or before, or not. I can 'send' a coupon only to someone on my f-list, but if anyone reading this currently not forcing themselves to read my pointless blather on my friends list can let me know, I'll add and then send off the coupon.

Sorry about the delay, I was first aware of this on the 16th, but it slipped my mind (like so much else these days).

thanks, but...

Thank you for the offer. I am keeping all of my expenses as low as possible, given my current financial situation. I know it does not amount to a lot of money, but I have to make all the cuts I can.

Here's to a better new year!
