You've only been a member for a couple weeks! This being a new year has nothing to do with anything. If you don't want to renew year after year, just don't have it set on auto renew. Besides, I heard getting long in the tooth is a good reason to play chess. It keeps your mind sharp. Supposedly.
stop renewing

Anybody know how to stop the renewal part of agreement to chess.com. My wife bought a subscription to this site last year and it's renewing automatically this year. It's ok for now, but i'm getting long in the tooth....and I don't want it to keep renewing ad infinitum.
You can cancel premium membership on the same day you renew as I do.
