    Couple questions about PRO expiration

    So my Pro status expires Nov 2, tomorrow. In the past I renewed w sportsbook deposit, which of course is out now. My plan for this time is/was to get to 3,000 points to purchase my renewal.

    So the questions are: 1) Does Nov 2 mean that I still have all of Nov 2 as a Pro, or does it end that morning? 2) Is there any difference between the renewal process and the "re-enroll" process? In other words, do I have the same two options (3000 points or $200 donation) even after my Pro status expires?

    Thanks!

    And the third bonus question is Can someone convince me of how Pro membership is worth that cost? It'd make me feel better. :-)

    I'm no expert, but I believe once your PRO status has officially expired then the only way to become PRO again is with the $200 donation. To answer the first question, I'm pretty sure you get all of Nov 2nd. And the bonus question....it's worth it when you consider the "cost" of betpoints.

    You have a grace period to renew with points if your pro lapses (believe its 3 months but you should check that with an admin)

    I also am pretty sure you get all of Nov 2.

    Hey, can I get any confirmation of this from SBR, or anyone? Just want to know if I'll still be able to work up to the 3000 points for purchase after expiration, or if that won't be an option. Thanks!!

    You can renew with points after it expires. Not sure how long you have, but it's at least a month.

    You can renew with points after expiring but you will only be able to keep 3,000 points after paying the renewal fee.

    Better idea is to renew without letting your status expire.

    I saw something about this, but glad you brought this up so I could clarify -- So you're saying that EVERYONE who at any point after being a PRO becomes a Non-Pro by expiring, can NEVER AGAIN exceed 3000 points? That's interesting.

    they can exceed 3000

    but you can only bring 3000 over when turning pro

    There should be a SBR trivia question about this.

    90% would get it wrong.

    as always I am confused. Is this saying no time limit? If I send 3K to ttwarrior1 can he renew with them? I thought that it was 30 days.
