    We have a number of users currently in their trial period. We want to extend the trial period by seven days. Will updating the amember_payments.expire_date field for the desired members do the trick?

    Depends on which payment system you are using.
    If using a 3rd party like paypal- the subscription is on their end, so altering the info on yours wont change anything.

    If using local billing, this may work.

    Thanks David. I'm using Authorize.net/AIM.

    I'm not a php programmer and I tried looking at the cron.php script but couldn't find how it determines which user is due to be renewed/billed on a given day.

    For authorize_aim plugin you need to modify amember_payments.expire_date for subscriptions that you need to extend.
    Rebill select all subscriptions that will expire today so if you will add 7 days to expire_date of payment, it will be rebilled a week later.
