Question regarding payment

[Podruvan360]

Welcome to the business world!!!!

I didn't doubt it would be possible, or I wouldn't have asked.

I'm pretty sure I heard someone from HMX answer this before, saying that payment continues even if you let your account revert to regular (non-Premium) status.

The better question is, "How soon/easily can you re-upgrade your account?" I don't know about MS, but I've seen plenty of services that won't let you renew once you've let it slide.

I'm pretty sure it's the same as Xbox Live, wherein if you don't renew it, it reverts to a "silver" account that can be re-upgraded at any time.

If you have a premium account and you submit a song and it gets published, you should be fine if you choose not to renew your account. As a non-premium member you would still be able to post in the Creators forums but would no longer be able to access any songs that are in Playtest/Review - although someone who buys a short-term XNA account solely for the purpose of getting a song through the pipeline probably wouldn't care about that, anyway.
