Not that I remember. I would have renewed it at full price 3 months ago but the radio silence from ProZ.com staff in response to the issues repeatedly raised in these forums by many colleagues convinced me against it. But there is a discount now and the dollar is cheap, so I am, however, considering it again...

Yes Jun 25, 2025

If I remember correctly, some years ago (15?) I could use my Browniz points to pay part of my membership…

Proz is still overpriced with a discount for what it provides. I once looked for translators in my combination and specialties in the directory when I was a paying member and I came way down the list despite having joined in the 2000s. I haven't gained new clients through Proz.com for a long, long time, so it doesn't serve much purpose.

With Browniz Jun 25, 2025

They could be used as payment towards membership way back when I first joined ProZ. Now these Browniz are... let's be nice and say less attractive.

Those were the days! Jun 25, 2025

Way back I must have used Browniz too.
At one time there was supposedly a scheme to donate Browniz to allow someone else to get a discount. I tried a couple of times, but it did not work out.
