+CrazyL200 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I've seen numerous references to different types of membership both in topics and in profiles. There appears to be 4: Members Premium Members Charter Members Platinum Members I did a search but it didn't come up with much conclusive. One thread even seemed to go out of the way to avoid explaining the differences. I understand the difference between Members and Premium Members, so what's the Charter and Platinum membership about?

+Isonzo Karst Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) Before this thread goes off into silly land, a straight answer. Charter members bought Premium Membership prior to March '03 and have kept it up continuously (I'm fuzzy on that date, someone will correct me). There is no Platinum Membership, except as the basis for some joke threads. Charter Members get absolutely nothing extra with that Membership level, except the words, "Charter Member" on their profiles and here in the forums. Well, others should genuflect slightly. Platinum Members get.....(there is no Platinum Membership) .. Edited February 2, 2008 by Isonzo Karst Link to comment
+Turtle3863 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I used to have a Charter Membership, but messed up and let it go. I believe that the original Charter Members were told,"that if the membership ever went up in price, they would have a locked in $30 fee" I could be wrong, but I think that I vaguely remember this.

+Isonzo Karst Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Anyone who continues to renew is locked in on price, "In the future we will be working to bring you newer and better features, yet you will always be locked in at the current rate as long as you continue to renew." http://www.geocaching.com/subscribe/ Link to comment

Keystone Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thank you to Isonzo Karst for an accurate answer. I am closing this thread because a Platinum Member called me on the Platinum Hotline. Link to comment
