"Elevenses" Sticker Tier, New Pin Tier Prices, & Subscription Billing

Based on your feedback on our first & second poll, we have come to a compromise:

"Elevenses" is the new sticker tier.

It is $11 and comes with a full trio of 2-3" stickers, featuring the same art and 3 flags used on the enamel pins. They will mail quarterly, alongside all pin tiers' mailing schedule. Just like the Elevenses snack, it's meant to give you a little taste of our work, or to hold you over between more substantial meals (pin months) ;)

New Pin Prices (& complementary stickers for multi-pin tiers)

The pin tiers all correspond to a $1.50-2.00 increase per pin. Multi-pin tiers maintain discounts for multiple pins, as well as now come with complementary sticker(s).

• $17 Single Pin tiers: 1 pin, (no sticker)

• $32 Combo tiers: 2 Pins and 1 sticker. Exact sticker flag is a surprise but it will match one of your pins.

• $45 Prix Fix: 3 pins and 2 stickers. Exact sticker flags are a surprise but will match 2 of your pins.

• $52 Buffet: 4 pins & all 3 stickers.

When these changes take effect:

The new Subscription Billing system Patreon requires us to use will mean that these prices go into effect for different patrons at different times. Please read carefully:

• Existing Patrons who do not change tiers will be charged the old price on the 1st. The new price for unchanging backers starts 31 days from today, or basically for next month's pins.

  • That means that folks in multi-pin tiers who do not change their pledge will not pay for or get stickers with this month's pin(s).

  • Your billing date for each month will remain the 1st of the following month.

• New Patrons will see the new prices immediately

  • That means new patrons will get stickers for April 2025

  • New Patrons billing date will be on the date they joined.

• Existing pin Patrons who want to immediately change tiers to get April 2025 pins with stickers:

  • Patron is a little bit unclear, but it sounds like you probably will not see the new sticker price today unless you quit your membership and sign up again. ( If one of you sees otherwise, please comment to let us know and we'll edit this guide accordingly! )

  • When you sign up again at the new pin & sticker price, your card will be charged right away, and that date will be your billing date from now on.

Thank you all so much for your input, support, and patience as we've navigated these changes! We absolutely want to always work with you to maximize the sustainability of this club.
