For a limited time: If you upgrade or sign up for a Highrise Premium or Max plan, or a Basecamp Max plan, you’ll get a Campfire Premium account at no charge (it’s normally $49/month).
We don’t know how long we’ll be running this promotion, so if you’re interested you should act soon. Once the promotion ends you’ll still be able to keep your free Campfire account, of course.
Details on how to claim your free Campfire Premium account will be included with your Basecamp/Highrise welcome or upgrade email.
Thanks for your business.

on 04 Apr 07What about us loyal Basecamp Max-ers? Do we get Campfire free now? Send a little love this way, Jason…

on 04 Apr 07Howard, this is currently a new customer promotion, but we’ll keep you in mind for future promotions.

on 04 Apr 07We’re about to pull the trigger on this, but we had one question. Is the campfire account free for life? Or just the duration of the promotion?

on 04 Apr 07Tom: From the post above… “Once the promotion ends you’ll still be able to keep your free Campfire account, of course.”
If you downgrade from a Max/Premium account to a lower plan your Campfire account will no longer be free of course. You need to stay on Max/Premium to keep the free Campfire Premium account.

on 05 Apr 07Quick heads up. On the Gigs page it lists Campfire as your newest product.

on 05 Apr 07JF: I’d rewrite that sentence to: “Once the promotion ends you’ll still be able to keep your free Premium Campfire account as long as you keep your Highrise/Basecamp at the stated levels.”
Because the way you have it worded makes it sound like after the promotion, your campfire gets downgraded to the Free level and not the Max. Just my interpretation.
Thanks.

on 05 Apr 07Tom, I read it the same way, and thought it would be downgraded to a “free-level” Campfire account. It’s a solid promotion, so I would tweak the copy to avoid confusion.

I thought you guys were smarter than this. I use several of your products and it has always seemed to me that you have been successful because you don’t do what everyone else does.
This is an old school (and some what lazy) promotional idea which effectively rewards the new at the expense of your loyal users, when in reality it is the loyal users who spread the word about your products louder and further than any newbie.
