Loyalty Program
The longer you stay, the less you pay!
Already, YOU have been a member for n/a
To celebrate 10 years of continous operation on July 1st 2005, members
can participate in a unique opportunity to get their membership
for by joining a our new "10-100" - Loyalty program.
Why?
We know that members come and go for a variety of reasons and we want
to stimulate as many as possible to stay with us longer and we do NOT
want price to be an issue on any decision. If you support us, you could
even get FREE membership for LIFE after your 10th
continuous year with
us.
The program is a buy-in, once only payment that then will link to
your current membership length to provide a discounted membership cost
on a year by year basis. There is no obligation to puchase as it is
totally optional.
How does it work?
Its very easy - if you have achieved 3 years of membership, then you
can buy a 30% coupon, if you have reached 4 years, then you are entitled
to purchase a 40% coupon and so on.
After each complete year, you could, if you felt it worthwhile, buy
another coupon which will supercede any previous coupon and which will
run continuously. There is no rebate for any previously purchased coupons.
Conversely, you can choose NOT to purchase a coupon and wait another
year to be eligible for a higher rate coupon, or you may simply "run" with
the coupon you are eligible for for the rest of your online playing
membership years. The choice is yours.
If you have achieved ">5 years" as indicated on this page for you,
then you will have to apply by email for us to check the archive records
as to your number of years of continuous membership before proceeding
to our Shop to buy the discount coupon.
Thus, as your years accumulate, you may choose at the end of 10 years
to buy the 100% coupon and then have FREE membership for the rest of
your life!

Examples
-
You have been a member 2 years and in your 3rd year.
You are eligible to purchase a 20% coupon.
All subsequent membership renewals, will benefit from a 20% discount
for as long as you renew.
-
You have been a member 3 years and in your 4th year. You have benefited
from the 20% coupon in your last renewal.
You feel you want to upgrade to a 30% coupon, this will cost £30
and replace your previous coupon. Thereafter you will benefit from
30% off all your subsequent renewals.
-
You have been a member for 5 years
You are eligible for a 50% coupon at £50. However you only
want to puchase a 30% coupon. You will then benefit from 30% off
all subsequent memberships until such time as maybe you wish to purchase
a higher rate coupon.
-
You have been a member for 2 years. You decide you dont want to
puchase a coupon now, rather wait another year until you are eligible
for a higher rate coupon.
-
You have been a member for 8 years. You are eligible for an 80%
discount. However, you want to wait until you have 10 years, and
then buy, once only, the 100% coupon, so you can benefit from FREE
membership from then on. The next two years will cost you £64
each year. However if you bought the 80% coupon for £80,
the next two years membership will cost you only £12.80 each
year, a saving of £52.20 each year or £104.40. So
it would be more cost effective to buy the 80% coupon now, assuming
you stay on as a member for these 2 years. You may then NOT choose
the puchase the 100% coupon for £100, as you will only be
paying £12.80/year
and it would take 7 more years to be cost effective for you. Nevertheless
you know you are getting a huge discount off your membership anyway!
