Hello friends!
Today, we launched a cool new sale featuring our brand new union-made t-shirts. They say "Welcome to Fear City," referencing the old police union "survival guide" from 1975, and they look amazing.
Now, these t-shirts are only being sent out to our Believer-level subscribers, who receive one piece of Hell Gate swag each year.
Look at this shirt!
Want one of our cool new shirts? Read on to find out how you can snag one.
First and foremost, thank you so much for supporting Hell Gate. We couldn't do this without you! OK, onward.
Can I get a T-shirt?
Yes, absolutely—if you upgrade and become a Believer-level subscriber to Hell Gate.
C'mon, let me just buy a T-shirt.
For better or for worse, we're in the subscription business, not the apparel business.
I see you're having a sale right now. Do I get to take advantage of that?
Unfortunately, that's just for new subscribers.
OK, understood! I still want the T-shirt. How do I upgrade my subscription?
First, make sure you're logged into our site, then click here. Then next to your subscription level, hit "change" and upgrade to a Believer! (We recommend the annual subscription, which saves you 17 percent over a monthly subscription.)
So what happens to my existing subscription when I upgrade? How much will it cost me to upgrade?
You'll be refunded for whatever time is left on your existing subscription. As for your Believer subscription, you're billed at the new rate for the remaining time on your original subscription. Your new subscription will renew at the same time your original subscription would have.
I'm just trying to get a cool shirt here.
Let us explain in greater and more excruciating detail. For example, if you subscribed as an annual Supporter six months ago and paid us $100, here's what happens when you upgrade: You'll get the remaining $50 on your subscription refunded, and you'll only pay for six months of a Believer subscription (i.e., $100, half of the $200 annual rate).
Why did you make me do math? I just wanted a shirt. Believe us, we don't like doing math either.
OK, so you're basically telling me that it makes financial sense for me to upgrade…and I get an incredibly cool new T-shirt I can wear around town?
Yes! And other cool things only Believers get, like exclusive invites to our quarterly events!
I will do just that!
Great to do business with you!
