Update: Gold membership has been retired in favor of Ultimate Membership, read about that and other monthly cam sites membership here.

Gold users got listed at the top of the user list

If you are a tipper of Stripchat anyway and often wonder what else can those Gold members do, or what other benefits they get and you don’t, here’s a chance.

Starting 17 Apr, if you have never bought Stripchat’s Gold Membership before, you have a chance to get a 7-day free trial. What’s the catch? And how?

How to get the Free 7-day Gold Membership

To get the 7-day Gold membership free trial, you have to buy a package of 520 tokens of more. Plus fulfill the following conditions:

  • you are never a Gold member with Stripchat before
  • you have to pay with credit card

What benefits Gold Members get

For $19.99 a month, members got many exclusive benefits including PM any camgirls any time and no need to be “Add Friends” first.

You can stay anonymous and watch as much as you want without her knowing who you are, perfect for voyeurs.

There will be no ads. No annoying ads any more.

For detailed benefits of Stripchat gold membership, you may see my other post here.

Why these restrictions?

First of all, they want to attract more new on-going paying members. They want you to get a taste of being the big spender and be looked up by the girls wherever you go so that you will want to keep the Gold status after the 7-day free trial. And if you stay as a member, you will buy more tokens and spend more on the girls.

Secondly, do look carefully when you buy that package. (See screen capture below). After the 7-day trial, you will be billed $19.99 each month until you cancel it. So, set a reminder, make a note on your calendar to decide whether you want to keep this membership.

You need to be in the knowing that there’s a recurring fee after that 7-day trial.

To Stripchat: Even Better If

Hi Stripchat, I understand you would like to recruit more recurring customers to the site. The 7-day free trial is surely a good start to let the potential customers to try out all the features and benefits you have to offer. There is no question about that.

However, as many people are familiar with the tiny statement or tick box of many other porn sites that says they are going to charge their credit card every month after the free trial. Therefore, people may be reluctant to proceed, especially those who had a hard time to cancel their subscription with the less reputable websites.

Wouldn’t it be better if Stripchat gives out the 7-day free trail to their target customers unconditionally and without the recurring condition? For example, if the viewers already buy tokens regularly, Stripchat may offer this promotion to him when he logs in next time, and reassure him that there’s no recurring charges to his credit card afterwards. I think more people will be willing to try. As long as the features and benefits are good, the customer will upgrade when it runs out.
