No; they wouldn't know my e-mail address/WNBA LiveAccess account.

I think it's due to his unrivalled commitment to reverse-jinxing his team.

Since I started this thread I must report that I got a very prompt response to my question (on a Sunday) saying I should have gotten the discount e-mail. This is the quickest response I have ever received from WNBA support to any question.
Thank you to Sports Junkie for posting his email and Sportsguru for posting L Arnold's name. Perhaps after 20 years the WNBA is becoming more responsive to, and appreciative of, its long time fans.

This is the salient part of the reply I received:
"Thank you for contacting support
You should have received an email offering the discount as a renewing customer. Please check your email on file "
I had already sent a reply to clarify that very point, but based upon the wording I believe it should apply to all auto-renewing customers. I will post a reply when I get one.

This was what I got from them:
"Thanks for reaching out to us and alerting us to this issue, and we apologize for any miscommunication on our behalf. We not only value you as a League Pass subscriber but as a passionate fan of basketball and the WNBA. In light of this, we’d be happy to offer you the $5 discount off your annual League Pass subscription.

Thanks for being a loyal WNBA fan, and enjoy your discount.

Perhaps the discount was meant for STHs?

I have received the same response. Since my initial email had made it clear that I was not an STH it seems they had a reason for the distinction but didn't spell it out. I guess they don't realize that some of us fans are passionate enough that we actually speak to one another about such things.
I for one have no problem with giving STHs a discount and having others pay more. If I were them I would have made clear that they were giving them the benefit as a result of that status. But I also believe that it would make sense to at least give some benefit to loyal fans who have stayed with the league, and I am curious as to how they will market the League Pass (whether they will provide discounts). As they show that they have no subscriptions available at this time, I doubt they will do any marketing during the draft (missed opportunity)

I receive the same email response from WNBA League Pass. I did mention in my initial email about being a longtime Mystics STH. There was an apology for the miscommunication on their behalf and it seems all who auto renewal will get the $5 discount.

Are people on here really quibbling about an extra $3? Jeez. We are lucky we even have the ability to see most of the games with League Pass, and should be happy to support the league. I guess the same ones complaining about the $3 are the same ones that point out how bad the league is doing and will fold soon. I wonder why... |
Since I started this thread. let me explain. I am a big supporter of the WNBA and have been from the start but I have also been frustrated by the ineptitude of the League its regard to its web site and much of its marketing and fan interaction. When I got the notification that I was being auto-renewed I posted about it because they hadn't done it before. As I suspected others had gotten the same notice, but at least one person had gotten a different email that included a discount.
As a result I sent an email to the League inquiring about it. I noted that I was a long time fan that lived more than 400 miles away from any team (and therefore could be inferred to not be an STH) and that I would subscribe whether I got the discount or not. I got a very quick response ( which I posted about very positively, which seemed to indicate I would get the discount, but was not definitive. It did not mention STH status. And so I wrote back to clarify. My next response said I would get the discount but also asked for what team I was an STH. If the issue for me was the discount I would stop there, but it is not.
I have written back to explain that I am not an STH and that I would appreciate the discount but I will subscribe either way. Which brings me back to what has been my concern. League Pass is a good product at a good price. The initial issue of auto-renewal was a small one. It may have been mentioned last year when I signed up, but I don't remember. But the issue of a discount (even if the money is insignificant) does go to the value the league places on its fans. If the discount was intended for STH only it should have been shown that way, and the initial response to me should have stated that. I am left somewhat impressed by the speed of response to my questions, but unimpressed by their ability to understand the problem, as well as their ability to write the initial email and send it to the appropriate customers.
I am not complaining about $3 or $5. I am complaining about how fans are treated. Treating fans with respect isn't always easy, but it is one of the cheapest ways to keep a struggling business afloat. I don't believe the league will fold soon, but customer service is important to its long term success.

I received two quick replies to my emails yesterday, but the 3rd I sent has had no response from them:
"Do I understand correctly that the $5 discount applies only to season ticket holders, and not to League Pass subscribers?
Thanks,"

Do you guys know anything new about this issue?
cthskzfn, have you gotten any response to your last question?
At first I thought i didn't receive any e-mail. Now I found out that it fell into my spam box (the one without discount). Good to know that they want to charge me without my knowing about it:/ I am a subscriber since the beginning of league pass and obviously not a season ticket holder (location).
Is it enough when I just check off the box with opt-in for 2018 to make sure they don't charge me automatically? Anything I can do to get the 5 dollars off?

Just tell them you’re a Lynx season ticket holder and let us know how that works for you. Maybe they won’t bother checking into it for $5.

Certain STH? Maybe limited to people who buy the expensive seats. Also sounds like it is up to the team to give the discount. Anyway, I'm just going to pay the full price and forget about it. It cheaper than going to a game and not much more than parking.

There was one year that The Liberty gave a free code for all their STH's
The next year they gave a discount

After responding to my first two emails in two days, it has been a week since I specified I wasn't a STH. It seems clear they screwed up when they offered a non-STH the discount. The only question is whether they honor the discount or, once they realized I wasn't an STH, they ceased to care.
I'll let you know when I hear anything.
