This is nuts. You pay for something and they come up with their own terms for something you pay for, and expire it if you don’t use it to their terms? This is ridiculous. If I pay for something, it should be there when I decide to use it, and if they are payed funds, they need to figure out how to accomidate their paying customers, this is unreal to me.
Hello rainbowfly,
We hate to bring bad news but there’s no nice way to say it – your Skype Credit has expired. This means that all your credit you had at your account is now gone.
== What is Skype Credit expiration policy? ==
We’ve tried to make our expiration policy as user friendly as possible. You just have to place one call every 6 months to keep your credit. Skype Credit expires 180 days after your last purchase or SkypeOut call. Extending the period is as simple as doing short call. This automatically extends the period for another 180 days.
== Why does Skype Credit expire? ==
There are several reasons why Skype expires Skype Credit that hasn’t been used for 180 days – we have to comply with normal accounting rules and cannot keep “dead” accounts in our databases forever.
