So I don't have VIP and writing a review today won't get me VIP status.

If she walks away smiling, you spent too much.
I don't have VIP status now, so I should be getting it for this review. I also wrote a review on January 23rd for the same club which didn't affect my VIP status (which I'm fine with) but apparently that review is preventing me from getting VIP now. If this new review goes up, does that mean I won't be eligible for VIP until early March despite not having it now)?
Got something to say?

I suspect that he has answers. It's his website...
Or - you could whine about it in this discussion...
I'm not breaking the rules though. This seems like it incentives me to write fewer reviews which doesn't seem right. I should have the same amount of VIP time writing two reviews a month versus someone who only writes one a month or one every other month. If the earliest day I can qualify for VIP gets pushed back after every review I write, that means I could write 2 reviews a month and not get another day of VIP for the rest of the year.
Or, it's encouragement to review a wider variety of clubs, if you want VIP without paying for it. Also, a club regular could possibly write multiple reviews of the same club in the same month to extend VIP without actually going to the club.
But if what you're talking about is a site error, then message founder.
Like I said originally, I think its more likely just a "bug" or whatever you want to call it and the intent isn't to not give 2x 4 credits for reviewing the same club 3 times in less than 56 days. The logic for tracking that scenario is just more complex and requires more data points. For example the review would also need a flag indicating if VIP credit was earned for its publication and then the check would be if VIP was earned for this club by this user in the last 28 days, then don't grant more - rather than a simple if a review was published by this user in the last 28 days then don't grant credit. It could vary drastically depending on how the eligibility is determined.

I understand what you are saying, but I honestly don't think it is necessary to write a review if a pace every two weeks. If there is something significant you think people would need to know (popular dancer leaving, a new must see dancer, significant change in cost) you could put it in a discussion until your 28-day moratorium was up.
When I had multiple trips in a short period, I combined the info into one review.
I do think there are others that want to read what I say.
I'm sure the club doesn't change much every week or so and I think that is why @founder enforces the limit. There isn't much value to regurgitating the same relevant info over and over again.
