Upgrade another member

I am a premier member. I cannot upgrade my membership any higher. How would I upgrade another person's membership?

If you're looking to help a needy author. I'm still struggling to return to work after a car accident disabled me for the past 2 years. It would help me deliver the chapters I have waiting to be approved here. Also, I apparently cannot access the group I am the creator and moderator of on here while not a Gold member.

Edit: deleted incorrect info.

Spoke too soon

You can now gift platinum membership under gift option.

Edit: thankyou for gifting membership to users.

I would like to help out a friend by gifting a membership, but his profile page doesn't display the gift symbol? Is there another option or way to gift a membership?

I am fairly sure that gift option is not apparent unless you are friends. I will check that shortly and amend my post if I am incorrect. There is no other way to gift a member.

We are Lush friends, but his membership has laps?

Can you please PM me with the name of the member you wish to gift... thanks

Just noticed that gifting 1 year gold costs $20, but buying it for yourself costs $50?

Are you sure? Cause I don't see that option. I see the same price like my screenshot.

Gifting Silver:

One Month - $7.95

Three Month - $17.95

Six Months - $23.95

One Year - $29.95

Gifting Gold:

One month - $10.95

Three Months - $24.95

Six Months - $32.95

One Year - $49. 95

Platinum $199.95

Oh and if user has silver/gold then they pay the difference to upgrade to next level before their membership expires. Maybe that's what you've seen?

I'm currently on an expired free account. This is what I see on my end.

If a member has a yearly silver subscription they can upgrade that to gold for circa $20USD. The $50USD is for a member who has no paid subscription and wants to purchase gold for one year.

However, the gold upgrade will only be valid whilst the silver is because its an upgrade that requires a base silver subscription. Many have been caught out with this and have had to purchase a years silver at some point because the expiration date for each option was not the same.

That would be an awkward situation indeed.

Given the above, if members wish to know the status of their paid membership, they can submit a support ticket.
