REWORKING TIERS, REWARDS AND MONTHLY PAYMENT (Patreon)

Hello, everyone!

I've been thinking about some changes regarding the overall "Patron experience", and I would like to know what you think about the following changes:

- Changing monthly charging to upfront charging (only really applies to future Patrons or returning ones, since after joining, the charging cycle is basically the same)

- An upfront charging makes it possible for you to get access to rewards as soon as they are ready throughout the month.

- Every beginning of month, Patrons would get a redeem code that can only be used to redeem works of that same month on Gumroad. So whenever an artwork is ready, you just need to copy-paste the code there to download it. I considered simply making it available for download here, but whenever a new Patron arrives on the future, they would have access to it. This isn't inherently a problem in itself, and in fact, it would be far easier for me, but I would like to know what you feel about it.

- When I change the payment method to upfront, you may be charged again, since now you are paying for the instant access to pieces whenever they are ready. I understand that it may impact your finances considerably by being charged twice in a month, so I will issue refunds to everyone. If it won't affect your finances and you would like to support me further, you can send me a message stating that you don't need the refund, otherwise, everyone will be refunded by default after a few days.

I will probably need to rework the usage of redeem codes with all the changes, so make sure to use yours! I will make another post a day or two before applying the changes, but for now I am still looking for alternatives that could be better, so feel free to leave opinions and suggestions. Thank you, everyone!
