Re: Membership

I joined last year and i got a friends pass that is for one visit only.

Last year was also my first year. Perhaps it is just the wording on the card but I'm sure last year it was an unlimited amount of visits for the second person.

My understanding is that the complimentary card is for one visit only.  It's a long time since I joined but don't recall having a card for unlimited visits, (of course things could have changed).

I'm a life fellow which normally is for two members, but as I live by myself they gave me an additional permanent free admission card for a guest. So I'm quite pleased by that.

Hi Everyone, our membership team have provided the following information which should answer your queires!

There are two types of complimentary membership card, one that can be re-used and one that is for one use only. Which card you get depends on your membership grade, but basically if you have traditional single membership you will receive the One Use only card, and all other types receive the re-useable card. If you have single membership and would like to receive a re-useable card, you can contact our Membership Services Dept on 01767 693680 or via Membership@rspb.org.uk and ask to convert to Flexible membership. This is a new product we’ve been using for the last couple of years to enable people to choose how much they want to pay for membership, and allows many members to donate at a higher level than the traditional classic rates. If you can’t afford to increase your payment that’s fine, but as it’s for up to two members, provided you don’t add a 2nd person, you will receive the re-useable complimentary card instead.
