Spread the Love and Support Democratic Underground! It's Valentine Hearts Week on DU!

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the Announcements group).

Greetings fellow DUers!

It's that time again -- Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so it's time to spread the love to all your friends on Democratic Underground! From now until the end of the day on Wednesday February 15, we're running our annual Valentine Hearts promotion.



Purchase a DU Star Membership or renew your existing membership, and we'll give you Valentine hearts to share with your DU friends. For every dollar you spend, you'll get one Valentine heart to give away.

• After you complete your purchase, you will immediately receive a DU Mail message containing simple instructions on how to give away Valentine hearts to your friends.

• Monthly subscribers will also get some hearts to share -- if you are monthly subscriber, we'll send you a DU Mail message shortly with instructions on how to claim your hearts.



PSA: IF YOU HAVE A STAR MEMBERSHIP WITH AN AUTOMATIC MONTHLY OR YEARLY RECURRING PAYMENT, PLEASE READ

I've received a number of messages recently from people who accidentally signed up for two recurring payments, or who wanted to modify their recurring payment.

It's important to note that once you start a recurring payment to DU through PayPal, we cannot stop it for you. For security reasons we have no way to connect to your PayPal account and manage your payments in this way.

This means that if you already have a recurring payment, and you set up another one, your first one will NOT be stopped. You have to stop recurring payments yourself. If you need to do this, here's how:

1) Log into PayPal and visit this page: https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay

2) When you get there, simply look in the left column and you should find all of the automatic payments that you've set up. You can manage/cancel your payments from there.

If you already have a recurring Star Membership and you want to buy hearts this week, my advice would be to use the One-Time Payment option in order to avoid setting up a second recurring payment.

And with that said...

Ready to get started?

Click here to Spread the Love!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not receive a DU Mail message immediately after making your purchase, please be patient. In some instances there may be a short delay in processing your hearts, but you should receive them within 15-20 minutes at most. If you have to wait longer than that, please send a DU Mail message to EarlG.

Thank you for supporting Democratic Underground!

After all we've been through, this is a nice break from the world beyond the DU community.
You are my first valentine friend!

Just a temporary one during heart season … when you have a lot of hearts it’s easy to lose track of who you have already hearted.

Thanks for considering.
