One of the biggest pluses for OkCupid by their members has been the fact that they are a free online dating site. Singles have enjoyed their features and have been able to save more to actually spend on their dates.
There was speculation when they were acquired by IAC/Match earlier this year that they wouldn’t stay free for long. Their members were promised they would always be free. Well, almost.
If you haven’t logged in lately, you’ll see a big pop-up ad inviting you to become an A-List Member. Regularly priced at $9.95/month, they’re offering a special discount of $4.95/month.
So what will your benefits be if you decide to pay-to-play? Members are being promised that they’ll love OkCupid even more?with so many extras.
The new features include:
- Browse anonymously and see visitors
- Ability to change your screen name
- Use the site ad-free
- Attach photos to emails
- Public and private photo albums
- Give unlimited awards
- Store up to 5000 messages
- Send messages to users whose inboxes are full
In addition, you’ll have digital bragging rights that you’re an A-List member, as you’ll be able to show off your swanky elite badge. At the end of the day, with 50% off, signing up for one year will cost less than one typical dinner date. My advice is it might be worth the splurge to stand out in the crowded digital playing field for less than $60/year.
