When we become a paying member and send the five questions for guided communication, does it go through if they are non-paying?

It goes through and they know it and if I recall correctly can read the questions but cannot respond until they pay.

Is it a signal that they are paying if I am allowed to "request photo" if they don't have theirs posted or does it show that for all members?

Hi Everyone,

If you are a subscribed member, you can send an Ice breaker, nudge, or actual communication to any and all of their matches.

Non-subscribed members can receive Ice breakers and nudges. Should a subscribed member send them a communication, they will be made aware of this on their My Matches page; however, in order to read the communication, it will be necessary for them to take the next step and purchase an eHarmony subscription.

The good new is our research has found that non-subscribed members are just as willing to communicate with a match of interest as subscribed members and many quickly transition into becoming subscribed members. So if you are interested in a match, initiate communication!

All the best,

-Renee

Please clarify the previous post. If a "paying member" sends a communication request to a "non-paying member", is there any way to know that? (on the paying members page)

There is no way to tell who is a paying member and who is not. And while I have no scientific research to back it up, my personal experience and the indication from the post on these Advice boards does not bear up the eHarmony (moderator Renee) contention that non-paying members will become paying members to communicate with a match that sent them First Questions (or any other communication). My experience points more to the likelihood that a non-paying member is also a non-active member.

The only thing you can do to gauge a paying or non-paying member is to use clues. If a match has RelyID it is likely they are a paying member. If they have a Premium Personality Profile then they are likely to be a paying member or were at one time though their subscription could have expired. If you send First Questions to a match and they view your profile then they are at least active and are more likely to be a paying member.

What you need to do is send First Questions to any match that you find to not be a total turnoff. It is very much a numbers game, the more matches that you send First Questions to the more likely you are to get a paying member to respond. However, you don't want to send IceBreakers because they are regarded as an indication of a non-paying member.
