I would like to purchase a standard membership for another member. When or how to I get to specify which one it is for? I went to the kiosk to add a gift membership to my cart and then it immediately asks for form of payment. I stopped at that point. Do I give them my payment info and then choose who the gift is for? Any help will be much appreciated.

I did one last year, and I think from what I remember, I submitted payment then received an email with the gift code (kinda like Amazon). You would in turn, give that code to the person you'd like to have the membership.

Jason, open the Kiosk rather than pick from the drop-down menu.  Scroll down to gift certificates and take your pick!

Hi Jason,

Yes, you need to pay for the gift certificate first, and then once you complete that transaction, you can choose whether you want to print the gift certificate and mail it, or send it by "e-delivery" (email) to the recipient.  If you choose the email option, you need the recipient's email address (not their user name).  The code will show up once you've completed the transaction, and then you can PM the code to the recipient.

Let me know if you need more help with this, as I just went through this process myself yesterday.

Janet
