PRESS RELEASE #16 -
Interaction Revises Installment Plan Arrangements
INTERACTION, THE 63rd WORLD SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION
http://www.interaction.worldcon.org.uk/
For immediate release: Monday 26 April 2004
Interaction Revises Installment Plan Arrangements
With the Convention drawing closer, Interaction is making some
changes to its membership Installment Plan arrangements. These
changes will take effect from 1 June 2004.
The Installment Plan option enables fans to spread the cost
of an Interaction Attending membership over a period of up to
12 months, using quarterly installments, and has been highly
successful with over 100 fans opting to join this way. However,
the current installment payment profile would not allow fans
signing up after 1 June to complete their installments prior
to the start of the convention.
To enable fans to continue to benefit from the installment
option, Interaction will be increasing the installment sizes
to £40 / US$75 / 60 EURO from 1st June. All other conditions
will remain unchanged. Fans joining the scheme will therefore
buy a Supporting membership first (£30 or $45 or 45 EUR) and then
pay the fee for conversion to Attending membership in quarterly
installments. The total charge for the membership will be
frozen at the time of signing up to the Plan.
The Installment Plan is open to all new members of Interaction and
to those who already hold a Supporting membership. Interaction
will be raising its membership rates from 1 June 2004 but those
joining the Plan before this date will continue to benefit from
the current rates despite not having to complete their payments
until April 2005.
From 1 June onwards, the installment plan payment profile
will therefore be as follows:
- In the UK: £30 for supporting membership followed by installments
of £40 and £25 for a total of £95.
- In the US: $45 for supporting membership followed by installments
of $75 and $50 for a total of $170.
- In the Eurozone: 45 EUR for supporting membership followed by
installments of 60 EUR and 40 EUR for a total of 145 EUR.
Further information on the Installment Plan terms and conditions, and
Application Forms to join the Plan, are available from the
Interaction website or from the Interaction Agents around the world.
