Is Snail Mail Friends free to join, and what’s in Basic?

Category Membership Plans | Number of views 17

Yes, registering on SnailMailFriends.com is free, and with a Basic account, you can start exploring the platform, connect with other members, and participate in a few activities to get a feel for the community. Here’s what’s included with a Basic account:

1. Swap Credits: You receive 2 swap credits, which allow you to participate in either personal or random swaps with other members. These credits give you a starting experience in connecting and exchanging with others.
2. Event Participation: Basic members can join one regular Swap Event. This is a way to participate in larger community events and experience the unique exchanges that events offer.
3. Postcard Exchanges: With a Basic account, you’re able to send up to 20 postcards. This is a direct exchange, meaning each postcard you send to a partner will be matched by one you receive from that same partner. This setup provides an enjoyable and personal way to experience the platform’s community spirit.

Limitations of the Basic Account

While the Basic account is a great introduction, it doesn’t include access to all features. For full access, including more swap options, higher swap event participation, and advanced tools like Swap Trackr+ (a Platinum feature that helps you keep track of your swaps), you’ll need to upgrade.

The Premium and Platinum plans are designed for members who want to make the most of the platform. The Platinum plan, in particular, unlocks all available swap types, features, and event options, providing a richer and more flexible swapping experience with unlimited possibilities for connection and creativity.

If you don’t want to upgrade to Premium or Platinum, you can still keep swapping by purchasing additional swap credits. This option allows you to continue participating in swaps without accessing the full benefits of the paid membership plans.

So, while the Basic account is ideal for occasional swapping and exploring, upgrading to a Premium or Platinum account unlocks the full potential of SnailMailFriends.com for dedicated members.
