Gift Memberships?

Hello,

I was wondering if at any point this month you will be offering gift card/membership options? I would like to purchase a Trial Membership for my husband for Christmas, but am hesitant to do so right now since I'm assuming the trial period would start immediately AND I would have to use his name and e-mail address (thus ruining the surprise!) Not sure if this was a possibility, but thought I'd ask...thank you in advance for your response!

-Nicole

You mean where it says Your Name, Your Email, Receiver's Name, Receiver's Email?  And then checkout page is after you fill out the first step.

That's interesting, if I switch it so the site believes I'm you it shows me the page.  Could you try and refresh on that page specifically to see if its a caching issue in your browser?

Looks awesome, nice work

Looks awesome, nice work Lucas! Dare I say we make this a year round gift membership option for bdays, holidays, etc?

We could be tapping into an entire new market of people wanting to get rid of their significant other for 6 hours on a Saturday.

@Jim - So I know that others

@Jim - So I know that others can see it Jim because we've had a few people signup and purchase gifts that are set to delivery on the 25th.  I just cleared the cache on the server side, mind trying to refresh one more time?  Also, if you log out can you let me know if you see it? 

@Evan - The plan was the leave the system up full time, but somehow we need to find a better place to put it full time than right there.  I'm thinking on the about membership page, not sure if you guys have any thoughts.

I logged out and I could still see the "Gift Membership" box at the bottom left but when I clicked the link (logged out), same problem. When I logged back in and clicked the link, same problem.

Could just be me and I'm not trying to buy. I just wanted to publish the link is all so I wanted to make sure it was for public consumption.

How about keeping it on the home page during the holidays, then moving it to the membership page after? Then repeat next year.

I'm wondering if the trial membership is a trial for the apprentice or the brewer membership? 

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Elledestroyer,

Hi Elledestroyer,

Its for an apprentice membership. The only substantial difference between apprentice and brewer is brwers have 24 hour access.

Thanks, James! So this means

Thanks, James! So this means there will need to be another brewer present while he's there? Or just a mere time constraint, like he can only go at certain times of the day? Sorry for the all the questions, but thanks in advance!

No problem, he would have to be there while another brewer is there.  Take a look at this:
