For example, if you take out a 12 month Privilege membership and join on the 6^th day of the month and your first Direct Debit payments is due on the 15^th, you will pay 9 days Pro-Rata at the start so you can being using the facilities right away. Then as of the 15^th you will start to make your monthly payment.

That’s not a problem, we can provide you with an additional free card should you lose yours. However, if you lose it more than once, there is a £5 replacement fee for every new card issued.
