Preferred411 (P411) Rate increase

I was curious if the providers were getting hit with the same price increase as clients. P411 increased their rates 30% not too long ago and now is increasing once again 45%. I have only been using the service three years, but built a little history that I'd hate to lose.

Providers: Do you put a lot of faith in P411? Does it make a difference?

Never understood these guys...

Why not pay for lifetime membership? At the rate I paid for it, it paid for itself after four years, so now it's free. With the rate increases, it paid for itself in three.

Unless you plan on doing this on a purely temporary basis, paying a year at a time makes no sense...

This is sort of like people bitchin about gas prices....If you want to play u gotta pay !!
With the cost of a normal provider $$ - $$$ all you are looking at is a hour for a year that you loose and its worth the peace of mind that you get when you book with a provider using P411.
But Hey ! use BP and save your money !

Provider accounts are free.

Lifetime memberships are no longer available, sorry guys.

The good news is that there will be no more increases on the client side for a good long time. $129 a year it will be as of March 1, but you can buy as many years as you wish at the current $89/yr rate, before then.

New applicants with two provider references can sign up for a free six month trial, no credit card needed and no strings attached!

Always,

Gina, can y'all look into making a better mobile version of the site? I love the site but usually im here there and everywhere so mobile would be helpful.

Thanks for the reminder, I need to renew.

I do plan to talk to a focus group about this sometime this year. Functionality would have to be lost, so it's tricky. Not to mention, not all mobile browsers are the same.
