VHTV and the Chamber of Chatters

AFAIK the change was done some time ago already. Being a European company it makes a lot of sense handling payments in Euro.

The latest increase in US$ might be the cause of Trumps silly tariff poliy which made a lot of people sell their US bonds which causes the US$ to lose value as a currency as people no longer trust the USA as a safe place to invest money.

 I always assumed that those paying in Euros were paying 39.95 euros and those of us in USA were paying 39.95 dollars. I didn’t know that the “official” price was dollars and you were paying the equivalent euros at the time. The whole thing makes more sense now.

Yes, the “official” price was always in dollars for everyone

Why should the Americans basically pay less? This will be a thing many Americans will face in the coming future with Trumps policy. Trumps tariffs will make everything more expensive for them.

I’m not saying anyone “should” pay less
 I was under the impression (incorrectly as it turns out) that VHTV was allowing payments in both currencies and was treating them as equal. Now that they switched from charging 40 dollars to 40 euros everyone is paying more. It makes sense now why the price went up when I considered subscribing for a month.

That’s totally correct

You are 100% correct, if USA citizens was paying in dollars then no conversion needed so you was paying $39.95, same with people paying in euros if their countries currency is the Euro they was paying €39.95, if your counties currency was any different to Euros or US Dollar you was paying fees on top to pay for the conversion

VHTV gave us a (not so) stealthy price increase by switching to a stronger currency but keeping the number (39.95) the same..

That’s wrong, the price was always in dollars for everyone, so everyone not using dollars, was paying according to the exchange rate at the moment

It’s not wrong John, the way I described is how it worked when VHTV offered both Euros & Dollars payment

At this moment and current exchange rates, yes, we can say so.

Since i joined the site, was always only dollars. I never seen Euros at a payment option

Well you was obviously not looking very hard then as the change to US dollars only is quite recent, could be that maybe it changed in the new year when the 90 day option was removed

This is the first time i hear about that option, seriously. Maybe you’re right and i simply didn’t look hard enough, i can’t argue with this. Was always 39,95$ and i didn’t really cared about anything else, the difference i always paid in pounds, was minimal ( 1- 2 pounds more or less)

Quick search returned this result and that’s 2019

I am surprised, all this time and i haven’t noticed at lest once ? Weird :thinking:

I joined the site in 2021, maybe it wasn’t on offer anymore ?

Bottom line is something changed and now it costs more for me to sub. Like Lazurus said, it’s not that big of a deal. The price is what it is and anyone can choose to pay it or not.. at this moment in time I’m choosing not to.
(May change later on if I get bored enough while working from home :grin:)

it definitely was as I used to pay in Euros until segpay was removed in 2022 & I didn’t have a sub since then because I wasn’t able to pay with Verotel despite Euros still be an option

This was 2021 and one of the last times the blog was updated
