How much does it cost to register and become a member of ChicagoDatingClub.com?
It is free to register and new members will be signed up as basic members with an option to upgrade to Gold membership. Cost for Gold Membership is $4.95 per month. Payments will be recurring automatically, so please contact us or cancel on your profile few days before next payment date at our site and at payment processor (CCBill) site.
What is the difference between Free and Gold Membership?
Free Membership could be considered as a trial period before signing up for paid Gold Membership. Free package users are not able to send messages to other members or reply to messages from other members. However, winks are allowed. With Gold Membership text messaging, forums, reply and chat are enabled and many other ways of communication.
Are profiles censored? Is there any limit to what I can put in my profile?
Yes. All member profiles, when they are originally created as well as when they are modified, must be approved by us. We reserve the right to refuse any profile or photograph that we feel is inappropriate for this site. Also, we ask that you do not put any personal information in your profile, including, but not limited to: your home address, a personal beeper, cell or telephone number, a real e-mail address or personal web address. Any offenders of this rule will be banned from the site.
What is the purpose behind Instant Messenger, how do i get benefit from it?
This application is a faster way of communicating to other members of the site who are online. It lists all the members who are online. When you send message, recipient will receive message and would reply. If unfortunately recipient doesn't receive message for some reason, then that message will be send to his onsite message Inbox.
How do I edit my profile? How do I hide my profile?To update your profile, click "Edit Profile"Â in Members Panel menu. Be sure to save your changes at the bottom of the screen when you're done.
Try to put your best foot forward with at least one photo and snappy, detailed essays about your interests. The photo is key since most people feel more comfortable writing to members they can see. Try to stay positive in your essays and let the real you shine.
To hide your profile, select "No" for the option "Other members can see when I'm online?" on the "Edit Profile" page  . Keep in mind, however, that members who are most active on the site keep their profile visible in all places because it ups their chances of connecting with people. And you never know, someone special may be looking for you and never get to find you if your profile is hidden.
When I suspend my membership, does it end my subscription right away and what is your refund policy?
No. Once you purchase a subscription, it will remain active for the remainder of your initial term and after initial term there will be no more recurring payments (recurring payments need to be canceled at payment processor also, which is CCBill). Generally, refunds will not be issued after 5 days of using our services, unless we didn't deliver services that we promised and if there was substantial server downtime.
