Well, just bought lifetime! Best of luck in 2020 to all the site devs and everyone studying!

Thanks for the free month… I tried Bunpro long ago when the website was brand new and it sort of failed to get my attention back then. Being faced with not making much grammar progress in the last few years, I knew I needed to do something different - JLPT N3 was kind of a wake up call back in December - there’s not a chance I passed it even with significant time after passing N4.
I wanted to see if I could maintain a study streak since re-starting the second time. Bunpro is really helping to find the numerous cracks in my knowledge base, so I expect to become a subscriber when my trial runs out on the 4th.

Hi guys,
Impressed with the direction of the site and the community responsiveness during the couple weeks of my trial. Before I go ahead and take the plunge, however, I would like to ask for a bit more information about the make up of the company.
It’s clear that you have some talented coders working on the team - the site itself is very slick, and as you say, Bunpro has a good record of responding to errors quickly over the past 2 years it’s been up.
My only concern is that there are quite a lot of snazzy apps and websites being developed for language learners, and the companies behind them don’t always hire as many qualified linguists/educational professionals as they do programmers. So it would be helpful to know who is handling this side of things, and how.
For instance, are you developing all the content for the lessons internally, or recycling it from other sources? If so, what are these other sources? What are the qualifications of the people who write/check lesson content? Are they native speakers, teachers, university professors, professional linguists, or what?
Sorry if any of this sounds overly interrogatory - but ultimately the way I look at it is: Bunpro is trying to replace the function of a school, and before paying fees at a school, I would absolutely want to run at least a basic check of who was running it, and what their credentials were.
Want to stress that there’s nothing I’ve seen so far on the site that causes me any alarm in this regard, but I’m also aware that once I push up into N2 and beyond, I’ll be hitting grammar that I don’t know so well, and I’ll be completely reliant on the site to get it absolutely right, 100% of the time.

@mztik Thank you so much for becoming a subscriber and bringing your wife along for the ride! I think that it will be a lot of fun to study * cough * compete * cough * with someone that close to you. Cheers!
@mert Thank you so much for becoming a subscriber! Please let us know if you have any further questions. Cheers!
@quadban Thank you so much for becoming a Lifetime Member! Happy studying! 
@lsh3rd Welcome back! We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying Bunpro. Please let us know if you have any questions, feedback or suggestions. Cheers!
@ulurujamman Thank you for your kind words and your questions. All of Bunpro’s example sentences are original, written in house and checked by native Japanese speakers. When adding new grammar points, we cross-reference multiple sources (both online and off) when determining where to place a grammar point, what information to include on the grammar point’s main page and what kinds of alternative answers should be accepted or caught in the hints system before we even start writing. Cheers!

The trial I got when signing up a month ago just expired. If I understood the opening post right, I should be able to start a second free trial now, but when I open my subscription page, I see nothing of that sort. Is it somewhere else? Am I misunderstanding something?

Hi! I am a long term member(on and off because of life’s ups and downs! 
). Just signed up for a year in October and it’s been wonderful.
Right now I’m trying to buy a lifetime subscription because I love y’alls service so much. When I try to check out with a card that works at other merchants I’m getting a “Your card is not supported.” error. It’s a Discover card. I’ve talked to my CC company and still can’t seem to resolve. I’v been trying for a few days now.
The sale is almost over. Would it be possible to honor my discount and pay via an alternate method given context? PM/email/anything is a fine way to contact me.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Happy new year,

You need to wait ~3 days after your original trial expires (grace period) before you can activate your new free trial for 1 month (at least that’s how it worked for me)

@testing Hey! Unfortunately, the additional free trial was only granted to those that had signed up/subscribed before the announcement was made on December 2nd. Anyone joining after the announcement received/will receive the standard one-month free trial. I apologize for the confusion in the announcement and appreciate your understanding. Cheers.
@Traffiko Thank you for becoming a subscriber and for your interest in becoming a Lifetime Member! Please send us an email at [email protected] with the above information included and we will be happy to work something out. Cheers!

I see - seems like the edit date (Dec 19th) obfuscated the post date. Thanks for the clarification, and no worries!

Thank you for the sale! I have gladly ponied up and paid for lifetime.
Really like the fact that grammar points are separated by JLPT level. This will really help as my goal is to take N5 on December.
Also appreciate that there is a Genki track as I am going through the book right now.
These two reasons are the main ones why I decide to buy lifetime.
Okay I said too much now.
hops back on the BunPro train and starts doing reviews 
choo-choo
Also, disclaimer: I posted on the wrong sale thread! 
so posting now on the correct thread. My apologies…

I too am eagerly awaiting any announcement. I’ve been quite enjoying the trial, and seeing that December 2018 and 2019 had sales has me hoping that a Lifetime membership might be within reach soon.
