I’m thinking about signing up for a race and the event uses Active.com for their registration platform.<\/p>\n

I don’t love Active, mainly because they charge an exorbitant “processing fee” for credit cards. They typically though offer a free 30-day-trial which waives up to $10 on these fees for each registration. I usually sign up and then cancel within the 30 days because honestly the other perks and benefits of the membership don’t seem to justify the $79.95 annual fee.<\/p>\n

But right now there isn’t a free trial; there IS however a 99 cent 30-day trial. The processing fee for the race I’m circling is $11.90, so the most I could save is $10… or really $9.01 once we adjust the fee for the “free-ish” trial.<\/p>\n

On the plus side, check out what they’re using to upsell me on this whole membership thing:<\/p>\n

I don’t fish… I wouldn’t even know where to go in this town to get a fishing license… and yet if they’re just going to GIVE me one as part of this 99 cent thing. I mean, I’d *like* to think I could be at a bar or a cocktail party and just sorta *accidentally* drop my fishing license on the table.\u00a0 I’d like to see what I catch with that kinda bait, ya know what I’m saying?<\/p>\n

Q: “Oh! Are you a fisherman?”<\/p>\n

A: “Well, I’ve been known to tell a whopper or two…<\/p>\n

“I’ve got a whale of a tale I could tell ya, ya landlubber…<\/p>\n

“Truly, I’m not sure I’m ever happier than when I’m about to jive-ho…”<\/p>\n

“The sea, me hearties.\u00a0 That’s where me heart belongs.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
