Hello guys

 I became a chess.com member on 27 march 2014.In march 2015,i didnt open this site.I got an email later which said that i had got a free premium membership(dont remember which one it was).This time i didnt get anything except a trophy.Why?

Are you complaining that last year you got an offer of free membership on your anniversary and this year all you got was a trophy?  

Hmm, I don't suppose you sent anything to Erik last year did you? Do you think he is without feelings? Why should he be the only one to remember your anniversary?

If I were you, I would send him something immediately. Perhaps you can hope to get back in his good graces by next year.

I believe the Free Membership thing is an enticement to see how you like the features of the site. If you don't use it, you sink back to the vast sea of nobodies who have to deal with pop-up ads and limited features.

Co-founder isn't really "staff."

Free memberships aren't the norm. You were probably randomly chosen to get a temp membership and may or may not ever get another one.
