eHarmony Free Communication Weekend September 3 – September 6, 2010
Published on August 30, 2010
Note: there is also a free weekend at Lavalife this weekend so it’s a good weekend.
eHarmony is having another free weekend from September 3rd to September 6th, over this coming Labor Day weekend. The event will be available to both U.S. and Canada residents and will begin at 12:01AM on Friday the 3rd and will end at 11:59PM on Monday the 6th. This means the free “weekend” is actually four days long this time.
Last time eHarmony had a free weekend it was 10 days, although in that case the free event didn’t include email communication. It appears that eHarmony has gone back to the “normal” free weekend this time giving a shorter time period but allowing singles to communicate through the entire eHarmony process.
I think this is a good move: while 10 days sounds great, if you can’t take the conversation to the next stage its nearly impossible to actual end up going on a date. While the 4 days will go by quickly, it still gives someone who is committed the opportunity to (hopefully) line up a date or two. We’ll have to wait and see if eHarmony will continue to bounce back and forth between these two “free weekend” models or if they’ll stick with their original now and the 10 day was only an experiment.
Beat the Rush…
As I always say, if you’re reading this early, I recommend signing up prior to the free event as opposed to waiting for Friday to arrive. This is because the sign up process will take you some time and also by signing up early you can start to collect matches now and decide who you want to talk to. Also, if you have a 9 to 5 job, on Friday morning you could quickly send out a few communication requests and get the ball rolling while you’re away at work. Hopefully you’ll even have some communication waiting on you when you get home!
