Membership fee- refund?

I renewed my membership at the end of December. Then I had an email from Blip saying that as a thank-you, they were extending members' memberships by 3 months.
Then, there was another email, following the takeover/merger saying that as a thank you, we were getting our membership extended by a further 12 months. Whilst this is very nice, I'd have liked the option to have had a refund of the £25 I paid only a few weeks ago, rather than automatically have my membership renewed until March 2017.
Given the changes to the site, I might not want to be a member by then...
