LIFETIME BENEFACTOR MEMBERSHIPS

 

Several of our members have asked about this and we're glad to offer it as an option now for those of you who want to purchase a Benefactor Membership once and never have to worry about renewing it again!   For less than the cost of 5-years of our traditional Benefactor Membership, this is a ONE TIME PURCHASE and it entitles you to all Benefactor privileges for as long as you are a member of TGO.

QUESTION:  I already have an active Benefactor membership.  Can I upgrade for the difference in cost?

 

ANSWER:  YES!  Absolutely.  The forum software will give you credit for your existing Benefactor membership and only charge you an "upgrade" fee.   :)

 

 

 

Here's how to do it...

 

 

 

At the top right of the screen click your name and then select the option for Client Area from the drop down menu.  This will take you to the Store's client menu.

 

 

 

 

 

Once at the Client Menu, click on the Purchases tab along the left-hand side of the screen.  On the right-hand side of the screen you will see your active purchases.

 

Click on the active purchase that you want to upgrade.  In this example it's a 1-Year premium membership.

 

 

 

 

 

Once you are viewing the active purchase, on the right-hand side of the screen will be several buttons.  One of them is marked Change Package.  Click it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You will now be shown a screen that has a list of packages (there may only be one, as in this case) that you can upgrade to.  If you had a 6-month package, it would show you both the 1-Year and the Lifetime packages as options that you could choose.

 

Select the radio button next to the option you want to upgrade to, and then click the Change To Selected Package button at the bottom of the screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can now proceed to the checkout.  Once there, you should see that the cost of purchasing the new package reflects an "Upgrade" which only charges the difference between what you already had and what you're wanting to upgrade to.

 

In this case the cost for the Lifetime membership has been reduced, taking into consideration the $35.00 1-Year option that the member already had.

 

 

 

That's all there is to it.  Sadly the process isn't as straight forward as I would have preferred but it's just the logic that the software follows when doing an upgrade.   :)
