BCM Announcement for subscribers

HighTechRedneck · June 25, 2009, 06:59:51 AM

As part of our effort to improve value for our subscribers, we have decided to give all print subscribers access to the online version at no extra charge. The online version is still available on its own for $10 less than the print subscription. But now if you have a print subscription you can also enjoy the benefits of the online version.

If you subscribed since January using the new online subscriptions system, then you now already have access. Just go to www.BusConversions.com and choose "Online Edition" from the "Magazine" menu. Enter the username and password that you set up when you subscribed.

Forum members that have a print subscription placed by other means (mail, phone, fax or pre-January website) can use the contact form on the site to get setup for access. Go to www.BusConversions.com and click the "Contact Us" menu. Provide the name and address as it appears on your magazine address label and your forum screen name. We will setup your access using your forum name and password and email you to let you know when it is ready.

If you know someone that has a current print subscription but isn't a member (or just isn't regular visitor) of the forum, let them know. They can contact us and we'll set them up.

If you have a current dual format subscription, contact us. We will calculate the value of the prorated extra paid for the dual format and convert it to extra months on your subscription.

That's great!

Busted Knuckle · June 25, 2009, 07:46:58 AM

Cool!
Now how do I sign up for a new subscription, since I was a skeptic and let mine expire when things went south and calls & emails weren't being returned!

I want to renew or become a new subscriber now that I know things will be back on track.

There are several options Bryce.

Call me at 863-558-5591
Fill in and fax the card below to 877-783-1667 (toll free)
Fill in the card and mail it to:
Bus Conversion Enterprises, Inc.
1538 SE West Farms Road
Arcadia, FL 34266-9072
Within a week we'll have the online system accepting credit cards again. It is currently set to do the subscription with payment by mail. But it seems to be choking on that payment method (it wasn't really designed for it) and has resulted in some blank page type errors.

Mike, I am going to subscribe to help out but I plan on waiting a few months to see what direction the magazine takes. Me along with some more friends have talked about it and the promises made by Dennis to restore the magazine back to the glory days of the 90's era always come into play very disappointing to me what happen to the magazine after all the promises. good luck

I remember that as the original editor of BCM I made some promises that I couldn't keep because promises made to me were not kept. I was not the person in full control. Dennis may have been in the same situation.

Looking forward to seeing the magazine either hardcopy and/or electronic form back to its original glory.

I am in Southern California on a working vacation and was going to take a run over to see the people at BCM when I got word of the rebirth of the magazine in Florida.

Larry, Chad is lives in Garden Grove. Drop him an email at chad@busconversions.com I'm sure he would love to visit with you and discuss the magazine then and now.

Why not take a chance now? With the cost of paper and print these days I am sure BCM could use the help. I know when it comes time for me to renew I will do it. I have wasted far more money than the cost of my subscription in my time.

The main change I have noticed so far is that I used to get 2 magazines a month now I only get one....I hate it when the boss pays attention lol.

If you get a chance, you might post the rates for the rag somewhere. That might help. I want to send you a check but I don't know how much.

HTR,

Is the on-line credit card acceptance...on-line yet?

I worked with Dennis when BCM was trying to organize the last rally. That rally never took place.

Dennis had his hands tied. As I understand it, he was not a BCM employee. He did his work on contract. He had good intentions and ideas, but did not have the backing to get things implemented.

The new ownership should not be judged by decisions made by previous ownership.

Dreamscape · July 04, 2009, 07:04:08 AM

I agree Jim! I'm sure everyone is watching to see what happens with the new ownership. It might a bumpy ride at first until they get their feet wet, but I believe that tenacity will get the job done.

The past is the past, now we all need to look forward to the future with optimistic eyes!

Thanks for getting the CC option working.
