So for the past decade or so, I’ve done 90%+ of my annual CLE (continuing legal education) courses online. I only attend in person when I can kinda make a vacation out of it, or take Mom shopping.
NBI, a CLE provider I like, started offering a deal: $1000 for 1 year’s unlimited access to their online lessons. That pays for itself in 1-3 courses- really a steal! I’ve used it as my primary CLE provider for 3 years, now.
But I just found out that it’s now apparently an “opt out” plan that automatically renews itself. (Mine did so on Wednesday.)
I HATE opt out plans.
But this one is so damn useful, I’m going to tamp down my reflexive reaction and not contact NBI’s CustServ. No “You’ve just lost a customer!” rant from me; not on this.
But I am going to have to make a special note of that renewal anniversary. I’m years away from ceasing maintaining my law license, but I definitely don’t want to spend $1000/year (or more when the process inevitably increases) when I no longer need their services.
