    I have learned quite a bit from the “Off the Rails” series, especially about things that I didnt even know were things... Each episode is short and to the point, which is really nice. Thank you for this learning experience!

Frequently Asked Questions

What will I be charged every week?

You will not be charged every week. Your credit card will be charged either once a year, or once a month, depending on which membership you choose: YEARLY or MONTHLY. As shown in the tier description above, for a YEARLY “Patron” membership, you will be charged $130 per year (the equivalent of $2.50 per week) while a MONTHLY “Patron” membership, you will be charged $22 per month (the equivalent of $5 per week) A “Patron+” membership costs twice the amount of the “Patron” membership, so you would be charged that appropriate amount each month or year, depending on your membership.

Can I sign up with one payment of my credit card, instead of every week or every month?

You sure can. By choosing a “Yearly” membership, your credit card will be charged only one time for the entire year.

Can I choose to not have “auto-renew”?

Of course. You can turn off “auto-renew” in your patron settings. Your membership will continue until the end of the year (for a yearly membership), or the end of the month (for a monthly membership) and you won’t be charged again. You can find your Patron Settings by clicking on your personal menu, located at the very top-right part of the screen.

If I choose “Yearly” membership, will my membership discontinue at the end of December?

No. Well, maybe. A yearly membership starts from the date you become a patron. So, 12 months after you join is when your membership will discontinue.

Can I cancel my membership?

Of course. You can cancel your membership at any time. You will continue to enjoy all the patron benefits on the site until the expiration date of your membership. If you signed up for a yearly membership, you will continue to have access for the year, but your membership will not be renewed once it’s expired. You can find your Patron Settings by clicking on your personal menu, located at the very top-right part of the screen.

Can I upgrade my tier after I’ve joined?

Yes. You can upgrade your tier at any time by clicking on a tier on this page, or choosing to upgrade in your Patron Settings. You can find your Patron Settings by clicking on your personal menu, located at the very top-right part of the screen.

Is my credit card safe?

All credit cards are processed through “Stripe”, an industry standard provider with the highest grade of payment processing security. All transactions are SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protected, and all credit card numbers are encrypted and safely stored in Stripe's state of the art data-center.

I want to support more! How can I contribute more than my tier amount?

First of all, thank you so much for your generosity. This project continues to flourish because of people like you. You can contribute any amount by clicking here.

I already have a “Patreon" account over at Patreon.com, how do these work together?

We are bringing this entire system of being able to directly support the project, AWAY from “patreon.com” and moving it, and all the additional rewards and benefits, over to our website , 52frames.com. We are calling this special membership, “52Frames Patron”! When you become a “52Frames Patron” you will have access to all these amazing, new benefits listed above, such as our course library, new album filters, and instant access to our weekly albums. You will not have access to all these new benefits on our site until you sign up for a 52Frames Patron tier, right here on our website, 52frames.com. While you can continue to support 52Frames over on “Patreon.com”, you will not receive any of the new benefits we are offering here, but you will continue to receive the “Off the Rails” video each week. If you were already pledging $2.50/week over on “Patreon.com”, you will enjoy a lot more benefits by becoming a “52Frames Patron” for the same weekly pledge amount*. TL;DR - You need to cancel your patreon pledge here, and sign up to become a 52Frames Patron on this page. (*paid annually)

How do I cancel my pledge over on Patreon.com?

You can edit or cancel your pledge on “Patreon.com”, by clicking here. You need to make sure you are logged into your “Patreon.com” account using your “Patreon” login credentials. 52Frames does not have any access to your “Patreon.com” account or login credentials.

Where can I ask a question that’s not here?

We recommend your local mountaintop, but if that’s not convenient, you can contact us directly, over at this form right here.
