Past Membership in Package Category

Dropdown list

Select a package category which a customer must have previously been a member of in order to purchase membership in the membership package.

 

Note: You can select a prerequisite for Current Membership in a Package Category or Past Membership in a Package Category, but not both.

Time Limit (for past membership)

Within the last Numeric If past membership in a package is selected as a prerequisite, the customer's past membership must have been within the time period specified, in number of years, months and/or days.

 

For example, a customer needs to have been a past Country Club member within the last 5 years to be allowed to purchase a Golf Club membership.

Grouping

A prerequisite group encompasses all packages that satisfy the prerequisite. 

 

Only one of the prerequisites listed in the same group is needed to fulfill the requirement. However, all prerequisite groups must be met prior to membership in a package.

 

For example, to qualify for an Elite Status Club Membership, a customer needs to have a membership in any of the Adult packages AND a membership in any of the Sports packages.

 

When creating these prerequisites, we can group the Adult packages in one group (for example: Group Number 1) and the Sports packages in another group (for example: Group Number 2). The prerequisites are met if a customer holds a membership in any Group 1 package AND any Group 2 package.

 

Note: You can group "immediate sale" prerequisites with ordinary prerequisites.
