Brain dump:

  • skip the discount - that seems like a nightmare to manage
    • removing, it has not been successfully in the past --Hef (talk) 11:58, 16 October 2014 (CDT)
  • qualify "currently $30" with a date
    • I am going to remove it entirely --Hef (talk) 11:58, 16 October 2014 (CDT)
  • onus of claiming points MUST be on member - contact board by current method (currently info@) within 1 month of event
    • Noteing onus on member --Hef (talk)
    • ignoring 1 month, as the practice is up to the BoD --Hef (talk) 12:01, 16 October 2014 (CDT)
  • expiry is hard to track --Dbever (talk) 02:18, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Please get rid of the word may in the phrase "Members may be awarded Membership Points". 'May' just sounds like legalese and everyone argues about what it means. --Bry (talk) 13:02, 16 October 2014 (CDT)
