Renew membership

So why is it so freaking hard to simply renew a membership. I've been gone for a week and my membership evidently expired while I was at sea, but there appears no simple way to correct this. I've updated credit card info and selected the auto renew option temporarily as it seems the only thing available, but that didn't fix anything as all I get when I try to check in-line reviews is another message to upgrade to premium. Well, if there was a freaking button to hit to renew the premium membership which I've always had, then I would hit the non-existent button. How difficult can it be to have a simple option when the membership expires to renew the upgrade or not. I go through this every year since I don't want to automatically renew because the credit card info is most likely to change at some point as cards are updated. Well, I'm here knocking but I can't get in. Could you open the door, Sol? Thanks. Take care. Vern
