While BerserkerDay is upon us, and the viewership is at a feverish pitch during this timeframe, I’m excited to announce a new level of elective membership – Monopole Crü.
Grand Cru Crü has always been an ad-free membership, and I’ve added special BerserkerDay benefits (and most people sign up just for the BerserkerDay benefits! ) This year, some opportunities have become available (with a dollar value of $55-$60 thus far), and, with that success, there are opportunities in the pipeline that would only work in a smaller, more exclusive group.
Monopole Crü will have a minimum contribution of $100 per year, which will include all the benefits of Grand Cru Crü plus much more to come. As the founder of this vibrant community, I look forward to finding even more special offers and benefits for this new level of membership. I will have the very first one on Preview Day, as a very special and limited quantity Early Purchase Offer that will be made available to Monopole Crü for 2 hours prior to releasing to GCC for the rest of the Preview Day.
GCC members will continue to have an ad-free experience, and the Preview Day/Early Purchase offers benefits they’ve always had and enjoyed. I’ve not raised the $25 minimum for GCC since its inception 10 years ago, but this year I will be raising it, slightly, to $35, as of March 1, 2021. To those who have setup recurring payments, I may have to reach out and notify you if it comes up short, but I will also be setting up a new, better payment system as soon as all the BerserkerDay craziness is behind me, so that will be pending on exactly what will occur with the new system.
Some of those who join GCC elect to pay more than the $35 minimum per year, but 99% of you pay the $35. To those who have paid $100 (or more) I will grandfather your membership in, even though you didn’t know you were going to receive it. Working on that now, and it’s a small and exclusive group.
For those who wish to join, feel free to submit the remainder/difference between your last contribution and the new Monopole Crü benchmark of $100, and, until I install the new system, choosing ‘Grand Cru Crü’ in the dropdown will still work, as I’ll know, based on the amount, in which group to place you. The language on the payment page and the intro page when you click through to GCC payments will also be edited once I switch over.
Monopole Crü will have its own unique badge, as well, shown here
, so keep watch for these Wine Berserkers superstars
I’m passionate for our community’s continued success, and want to thank you all for everything you’ve each done to contribute.
