We are pleased to announce the long awaited return of the Subscription feature to Daily Kos. As of today, you can now purchase new annual subscriptions or update payment information on a current one.
An annual subscription is still $40. You can purchase one for yourself, or as a gift for another user. A user does need an account in good standing in order to receive a gift subscription. When you subscribe, you are supporting the mission of Daily Kos, and as thanks, we give you a tool that allows you to turn off all advertising.
All existing subscriptions should continue to function, with the same expiration date (or lack thereof) as before. Renewals should transfer to the new system. The newly rebuilt function does make it much easier to update your credit card information directly as needed. It’s also more mobile friendly.
If you purchase a subscription for your own account, it will automatically renew until you cancel your subscription, which will halt further renewals. If you purchase a gift subscription, it will not automatically renew. Reminder emails will be sent to the email address in your account profile before your subscription expires.
If you need help, there are detailed instructions for the subscription process through the Helpdesk link at the top right of the page or in the menu available in the left corner.
We appreciate how frustrating it’s been to have this functionality offline and are very pleased to finally announce its return!
