That link directly opens a page to my old account. No password or Userid required. Just click here and my account is reactivated although that credit card is prolly expired by now.
I'm sure you all are fine upstanding folk, but I don't want to wake tomorrow and find that I have accidentally reactivated my account.
This seems to be one of the few times that emu made it exceptionally easy to interface with their website

Update
I get a popup when I surf to my old account page. So my guess is that if you are eligible for the deal it will pop up for you too when you surf to your account page.
Be that way.

Either that or you probably have availed yourself of "too many deals" for free music.
Maybe they are digging deep for this one, going after the hard core escapees who have been gone awhile.
You're better off without them.
If it's any consolation, I have decided to pass on the deal, although $100 worth of credits would let me fill in a few things I am missing.
But then I think of all the grief I had to endure to "enjoy" my subscription and I just don't want to go back there. It became too much like a job to find interesting music before my credits expired and that's not how I want to live my life.
I am keeping emu in the "ex girlfriend" category. It might be nice to spend the evening together, but then you wake up in the morning and remember why the hell you left in the first place.

I decided to go ahead and bite this one about an hour ago. I am going to burn through the new credits and be back on the outside looking in as quick as possible. I hope I still have still have the eMusicJ downloader installed.
You know how we do

In preparation for new enhancements, the site will be down for maintenance beginning at 2am EST, on December 2nd. Thanks for your patience.
Weird that they would send such an email to an ex-member (but par for the course given their past operating history). Anyway, I ended up checking out the message board over there and was reminded by some of the most recent posts over there of their sudden issues with double billing and whatnot with their most recent revamp/reboot/retooling. Out of an abundance of caution I decided to check the credit card I used when I rejoined emu and sure enough I was charged $11.99 on 12/31/2015.
I'll give them 1 chance to correct the issue after contacting them about it. If they don't have it resolved by this time next week I'll simply do a charge back.
ETA: I just checked my email and 1 hour and 24 minutes after submitting the support request I had an email from them apologizing for the issue and indicating that they had reversed the charge. Hope the rest of you get things sorted out to your satisfaction soonest.
So, I am not particularly happy with eMusic at the moment.
I have two annual 90/month accounts ("eMusic Premium Annual"). The one that just renewed says it will convert at the end of the year to "Preferred eMusic Premium Annual", but I've no idea what this is supposed to be. Meanwhile, the other account won't renew for 6 months and there's no indication that this one will convert.
