The membership type and price was posted earlier  https://chaowu.org/2017/02/02/new-ca-membership-and-new-price/

Note: for new members (whether monthly or yearly), there will be an upfront one time fee to set up an account ($99 or 149$, I forget the exact number). The old several year contract ( which causes huge price jump after three years) will be discontinued.

For current member who transit to the new accounts, there will be no fee. That is the fine print. I don’t like it, but CA staff told me that was how it works everywhere and I have to take it.
