Content Provider Program Discounts
Did you know that some of the content providers who post on www.cilc.org have been offering discounts for some of their programming to CILC Premium Service Plan holders?
In my browsing I found discounts ranged from $10 per program up to as much as $70 per program.
This month CILC added a new feature to the Content Provider Program search which enables you to easily identify those programs. This PDF entitled “Finding Discounts” walks you through the process.
Perhaps if you don’t yet have a Premium Service Plan, now would be a good time to purchase one. The $50 you spend, good for one (1) year from date of purchase, could save you at lot more than that over the course of a year!
