Please contact the Membership Services Team and they will be able to help @long1016

I am pretty sure mine popped up on the website as I logged in, but wouldnā€™t swear to it

Iā€™ve checked my junk, no email received?

Regarding the lounge passes, are they transferrable? I donā€™t need mine because I have lounge access with my credit card so Iā€™d like to transfer them to my daughter or son, if possible.

Hi @Mary-Kay. Angela is on the road today returning from her sit, but Iā€™ve checked with Paul in membership services and he says ā€œthe pass belongs to the memberā€ and that it should be fine but you would need to contact membership services to book on their behalf. When you are ready email support@trustedhousesitters.com and quote this conversation. Hope that helps :slight_smile:

I found that this is a strange ā€œBlack Fridayā€ Offer as it treats every member differently. A Black Friday offer from retailers and other businesses usually treat everyone the same, e.g. a 50% discount meaning that you get half off the retail cost; everyone has the same result.

Here, every member has a different date when their membership expires so that each member has a different saving.
I feel for @Edith and @sarahjh22 and @Terry who have been rewarded for their early upgrade to have been locked out of this deal.
I have just looked to see what my ā€œwhoppingā€ 50% will be and it is US$ 6.74. (I donā€™t know why I am quoted $ when I live in the UK)
I am definitely not interested in Premium and I am not fussed about Standard. So a saving of US$ 6.74 is hardly going to draw me into a higher tier where I will then have to pay a higher fee for each and every year.

I suspect that this is a strategy to encourage current members to upgrade to a tiered membership, while eventually phasing out the ā€œclassicā€ or original plan that we all joined before tiered membership was introduced. I hope Iā€™m wrong about this.
Also, Iā€™m still waiting for an answer to my question and some questions above, before I make any decisions or changes. This offer ends on 27 November so hopefully we will get some clarification this week.

Thank you!

Where can I find detailed information on the T&Cā€™s of the cancellation and liability insurance offered in the premium membership? All I am finding are summary/overview statements with no detail.

Hi @anon1411559 this link from the help section which includes the T&Cā€™s

Thanks for the link @Angela_L. As a fairly new member, it was wonderful to take advantage of the upgrade, solely to include the cancellation insurance option. Of course, as with all insurance, weā€™d love to never find ourselves in a position to actually utilize it. The airport lounge is a nice perk too!!!

I think Iā€™ll stick with my classic. Itā€™s done us proud for almost five years. Please donā€™t phase it out.
