From what I understand, CCT is in the process of switching over to a new product. Perhaps when the new product is available, it'll be offered at a reduced price. I think they are trying to avoid taking on new CCT memberships at this point due to the changeover to be honest. If I were you I'd sit tight and see what happens. In the meantime, why not just use $1 CCT trials which actually offer more for $2/mo than a "real" membership does for $15/mo?
