Just one observation about Shoprunner and Newegg, which is the only merchant I have used it with. When I first joined a year and a half ago or so, it seemed like every product was Shoprunner eligible. And I did use the free return shipping a couple of times when Newegg didn't pick it up and used it every time with a purchase. [fwiw, I've never paid for membership. Every time it's about to run out they send an email extending it. They seem desperate??]
Now the past five purchases have not been eligible (with Newegg as the vendor, not 3rd parties). It just seems curious that fewer items have Shoprunner options at checkout. Not sure what it means but I thought I'd share - in the Christmas spirit.
If there was a Dominos within 20 miles and anybody in the house liked it, there'd be another bonus. Oh well!

emmd2001 said: to clarify, it seems it extends membership by 1 year from TODAY, NOT from when your original membership expires...
Right, it's not really an extension per se, you're just getting the 1 year deal on your existing account.

Not familiar with this service. So was wondering if you could use this in combination with FatCash
Thanks OP. This is completely free, better than $1/year they had last year that I signed up for. I canceled my last year account, re signed up with this deal, got a year free til 12/2013. Then logged in to add gmail email as 2nd email for Shoprunner Central, 3 more months added. I'm all set til 3/2014. Thanks

I think, obviously, offers like this have something to do with it. I really have no clue how they do it (given the number of "Fatwallet" type members).
I just wouldn't think there would be enough paying customers to support that type of business model, given the cost of 2-day shipping.
same here, had to cancel first, was set to expire this month!!

When I tried to add Gmail for 3 extra months, it just came up to a blank screen, do you know why?
--- It's fixed. Had to turn off blocker.

Make sure everyone turns off "automatic renew" option. I found out mine was on when I did the cancel and renew trick.

Worked like a charm! Cancelled first and used same email address. Took the option 'not' to give credit card. History remained. Got a full year. Confirmed on their site.
Thanks to all!

Above it says will extend. Will it actually extend or just give me 1 year if I do the cancel trick? As it stands my expiration is on 4/26, would be nice I retain this extra 5 months almost.

Where do you see that option? Does it matter if I signed up with gmail account already?

Worked for me too... just cancelled the old membership then waited for 30 min and followed the link back and signed up with same email. Worked like a charm.
Cancelled and re-signed up immediately with same email address. Order history all still present and membership says it expires 12/19/2013. Received the cancellation confirm email and then the new member sign-up email.
Thanks, OP!

Yep the option for SR seems to disappear when items are on sale! not sure whether it's the merchant or SR that has been setting the changes for qualifying orders
