Do not upgrade you can do a lot being a standard member alone. I had upgraded to gold membership on 5th of April, 4 days later the account was deactivated. When customer care was contacted by email, they replied that I must call the billing department and get the credit card verified. Firstly, I would have loved to stay discreet about it, secondly the toll free number is that of US, how thoughtful of them. The money has not been refunded, the account has been deactivated and I am not even sure if they are going to keep debiting money from my card. This is day light robbery.
