US ESTA before they charge

[sddsddean]

Has anyone applied for a 'new' ESTA (before they start charging for them in a week or so) whilst they still hold a current one (due to the 2 year validity)? Any problems come up because the system says you have already got an ESTA or anything? Just checking before I renew mine!

You can't renew it before it expires unless you change your name or passport details.

I did it a few weeks ago and mine has 6 months left but I got the full 2 years

Sorry, didn't realise that the link given was to my original post!

Thanks all. I'll do it over the next few days.

yes, it seems they can't be renewed anyway and you'd have to apply for a new one when the two years runs out; so you might as well apply for a new one now. I did and got it instantly.
