My VIP was set to cancel on September 1st. After they shut down billing, I'm still VIP. I can access iTrials, Incarnate powers, all SSAs and everything VIP related. You'll stay the same till the server shutdown also.

NCSoft still has plenty of programmers in their employ. Not only in their Korean offices but also in their Austin, Tx office where the billing system is.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Then is it no longer possible to subscribe? I was hoping to run the Incarnate Trials one more time.
I'm a little worried that when my billing date rolls around I'm going to be bumped down to Premium or something and not be able to access all of my characters. CharybdisClan, sounds like that did not happen to you?
I have 2 accounts, one of which was due on 1st September and one on 2nd. So far both are still VIP.
However, it turned out that Smith was not a time-travelling Terminator
It is kind of a crazy thing that the "VIP" population will dwindle out by the end, if they were not subscribed beyond November 30th. Then again, some might argue that its crazy that some of us are subscribed through 2013 and won't get to use those points, tokens, or time....

@Thexder
So far it seems that those who were VIP at the time of the announcement will remain so and those who weren't VIP are stuffed. This may well change so we will have to wait and see what NCSoft say.

Yes, I was slated to be Premium on September 1, 2012. I'm still running iTrials, popping Judgement on mobs of Council and collecting all of those lovely commons on the DA arcs.

Cool! I was worried about that - September is when my job starts getting extremely busy, and I didn't know if I would have time to log in all my characters and get all those lovely screenshots I'd like to have before 9/14 rolls around.
