Re: Free 1 year membership to the eca

is this something you can cancel online? If so, I'm in...but if I have to call someone to cancel, I'll pass.

I get the same thing too. I checked my email and activated the link. It still says the same thing.

Right to Cancel; Refund of ECA Service Fee. Members have the right to terminate this Agreement and membership in the ECA Service at any time. A Member may cancel this Agreement and membership in the ECA Service by calling 1-203-761-6180. If a Member cancels before the end of a Membership Term for which Member has paid the Service Fee, the Member cannot receive a refund of such Service Fee, prorated for the remaining unused portion of the Membership Term. Due to the nature of the services provided by ECA (many of which are accessible immediately upon acceptance) it is understood that refunds cannot be issued. Member will remain liable for any other fees or charges to be paid pursuant to this Agreement or the ECA Service.

Doesn't look like any of the discounts are any good, aside from the (expiring?) Amazon 10%.

Hopefully someone remembers to bump this thread in a year to remind us all to cancel.

I think I'll pass, then...I have a bad taste in my mouth from cancelling services over the phone lately. Moron from TiVo kept me on the phone for 20 minutes the other day trying to talk me out of it.

You can cancel online.. If you go to your profile and then down to recurring fees it has a cancel button for next year. I wouldn't cancel now though or it may cancel your whole sub..

yep "forced"

Amazon has forced me to feed my gaming addiction. A rep from amazon came to my house today and made me preorder 20 games by gun point. They are getting agressive

It said I was to receive an e-mail with further instructions. I still haven't received the e-mail. I know I'm still not a member since it didn't even ask for my CC info. And where exactly do you put the code?

Read the thread n00b

You should receive 3 emails I think. A welcome email. An activation email, and a newsletter email. The registration one is the one you are looking for. Check your bulk/junk folder on your email server. When you put in your cc after that and get to the confirmation there is a place for the code in there.

Well sorry, old man. I didn't think to check my trash folder.

EDIT: I checked my trash folder but found no e-mail from the ECA.

I did. I got 2 emails from The ECA.

Subject: ECA Today - The Newsletter of the Entertainment Consumers Association: please confirm your address

I clicked on the link and got this in my email:

Subject: Your ECA Today newsletter subscription has been confirmed,

I checked my spam/junk mail and searched. Nothing there.

Thanks Glassdragon.


I'm starting to hear that you might be able to link your eca account with amazon by calling amazon. I am trying to get more details. I will let everyone know when I know more.

Ok, didn't find out about that yet, but new codes tomorrow
