Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 That's strange. I just signed up a couple weeks ago and they didn't ask me to mail or fax in anything. I just typed my code number in and credit card number and that was it. I was signed up in the past though so it remembered my info from 2002 so that was kind cool. I'm sure it's because they don't want people just typing in the same code as their friends but still I would have thought they would have the same rules for all who sign up. I can understand why they expect you to pay for both meetings and e-tools. If they didn't charge for e-tools then you could just go to a couple meetings get your code number and a few stamps in your book and then get signed up for e-tools and stop going to meetings. They would have a lot of people working the system to try and get WW services for free. Plus it costs them money to maintain and update the website so of course they have to pass that cost along. Like it or not they are still a business and out to make money.

I faxed in a copy of my member book, the whole deal, then found out I still had to pay for the online tools even though I regularly attend meetings (and have been for over two years).

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 If you have a code from your " Getting Started " book or the E-Tools brochure, you don't have to mail or fax anything. They assume that if you have these materials, that you're attending meetings & that's where you got them. If you don't have the code you have to mail or fax in a photocopy of your memebership card.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 It was in an insert to the getting started books - you know, one of those things you tear out (like a magazine subscription card sort of thing). Unfortunately, I had lost mine. Mitch Kallie wrote: > I cannot find where it is in the Getting Started book. I looked and > looked.
