I have managed to renew my membership by calling the support number, my credit was not going through when I was trying to do it through their webpage, finally i called and they were able to enter the credit card number manually, however every time i login to my developer account i still get the "Your apple developer program membership has expired" message, and it won't allow me to renew the new agreements for any of my apps, i' am losing money by my apps not being available at the app store since they have been taken down due to the fact that my membership wasn't renewed, anyhow i had the auto-renew option but it did not work, i have sent them an email, hopefully they can sort it out.
