Lyndon68 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Hello, just a quick question,, hopefully somebody might know. If I renew my membership will it restart from today with the new perks or wait till my existing year membership ends before renewing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Ideally you want to renew membership whilst still a member to receive the additional hobby points. However considering the system might not be intelligent enough to renew from existing expiry date & could renew from purchase date - 2 possibilities occur:• renew on last day of existing subscription - so only 1 day is risked.• contact Hornby customer service and ask them to assist you with renewing from expiry date.

Skelton Junction Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Is it to be assumed that there’ll be a third version of TT120 club membership and it won’t be as generous as versions 1 & 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I don’t believe anything can be assumed - there has been no information provided about how long version 2 will be kept for, nor whether a version 3 is planned.Considering version 2 & the replacement version of OO club simply aligned their respective rewards - whether further changes are needed will be known only by the decision makers!

BritInVanCA Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Only Hornby knows but I know many of us will find out in the next couple of weeks. Personally I’m looking forward to all the freeloaders (joke) disappearing because I feel part of the issues and limitations of the club were driven by how many members they had. I bet only 10-20% renew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_watts1 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I might play it safe and renew when there is something I wish to buy. I have all of my big purchases on preorder so they should be price protected any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 So, if you pre order as a member, and your membership expires before the items are available, do you still get them at the price you pre-ordered ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMR248 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Some of us "freeloaders" are still waiting for the promised items to materialise. Obviously one can't complain too much if membership costs nothing but who is going to pay good money for something with uncertain benefits?

96RAF Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Can someone explain what version 2 of the club is and how it differs from version 1 apart from a fee. Also version 3 - if as stated there is to be another version. Why not just keep it free to retain interest - a bird in the hand, is worth 2 in the bush.

Fishmanoz Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 When I joined on Day 2 of TT:120, membership was free and it gave a 15% discount on all TT:120 purchases. Then reward points was added to that during the year. Now it only seems to offer “enhanced reward points”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterM67 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 The original membership scheme is so much better than version 2 that many people will have pre-ordered anything they want from Phase 2 and with the current Phase 2 estimated availability dates running into Spring 2025 come renewal time there is likely to be little of interest still to buy and little prospect of anything new for at least a year.They could put Phase 3 up for pre order to encourage renewals however in the latest TT:120 magazine it was stated that they wanted to get away from big upfront release announcements so based on that I am expecting Phase 3 announcements to not trickle out until next year after all of the initial memberships have expired with perhaps a token announcement on October 10th for the 1st anniversary.

Rallymatt Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I have elected to not waste valuable modelling time on speculating. It will be what it will be 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMart Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I have similar opinion as Rallymatt. I know I'll extend my membership. It is only £30, less than one coach. I still think that Hornby did amazing job, other continental manufacturers released less of new items than Hornby, the only difference is that they have stock from previous years, while Margate had to start from nothing.

Hobby11 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Come on, Rallymatt, speculating is what social media was designed for!! ;)(Agree with both your and Mike's post btw!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris98 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I shall be renewing. I agree that Hornby have done a great job with TT 120. The reward points I have accumulated this year have been worth joining on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndon68 Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 Hello, a small update. I've had a response from Hornby customer service who have advised to renew closer to the expiry date, which in my case is November 26th..Now I wonder what the renewed membership will look like, a continued 15% discount and hobby points would be really nice😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-353799 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I take it you have to contact Hornby to find out when you joined as I can't see anywhere on my account as to when It was?Ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterM67 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 January 29th is my expiry date so a little under 4 months left for me. Hopefully things will be a bit clearer by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy-350163 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 FYI - Purchased a new TT:120 Club membership today. Could not find any mechanism to renew. Believe the 15% discount was only for the initial/introductory membership. The new membership has the enhanced points offer. If one has the initial (15% discount) membership, it may stay in force past October, to a one year anniversary, but not sure about that. My initial membership expires October 10 and the new one started yesterday. Hornby gave me 15% discount on the ROW TT:120 Club membership, which was paid for with Reward Points. Simple and painless.I believe membership shows support. It can only help all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I’m anticipating a renewal email on the anniversary of my membership.I certainly won’t take out a new membership as the conditions could well be different to renewal for all we know. And why confuse the conditions between two different memberships.PS. Anyone unsure of their membership date can find it in the Orders in your account. It will likely be the only £0 order there.
