You've only been a member for one month. Why not try out a one month premium membership for $14 before you mortgage the house?
At any rate, you want a lifetime diamond membership for the equivalent of three years of diamond membership? That seems a little cheap. I doubt if they would even respond.
If you are serious, why not make a serious offer? Send them $2,000 and see if you get a response.
I saw an old post from Erik, and he said they used to offer this. He also said "If you want to do it, let me know."
This was in 2010.
Pretty sure it was $500 way back when. One thing's for sure: $300 ain't gonna buy lifetime.
Chess.com has a lot to offer if you're a titled player!
First of all, if you hold a qualifying title (see list below), you get a lifetime Diamond membership for free.
It's true that 5 years ago Erik said to a forum poster, "i'll give you a lifetime membership for $599. done."

Being a passionate chess player, I would be happy to oblige to a one-time lifetime membership fee of $300 with full access including all the additional previleges that maybe offered by chess.com in the near future.
I will save every penny I've got just in case chess.com changes its mind. I will stop drinking a cup of gevalia espresso or glass of chalkhill chardonnay per day to save $27 per week. I will stop watching movies to save $8 per month. I will stop using my smart phone just to save $60 per month. I will stop buying cosmetics to save $50 per month. I will stop buying new clothes and any unnecessary materialistic desires of a typical female.
Whatever it takes, I am challenging chess.com to give away a chance to purchase a lifetime membership fee for a few select individuals who are passionate enough to keep this awesome website going!
