Our system considers each membership level to be a subscription, so renewals only extend the existing membership level.
If you want to change your membership level, you must purchase a new memberships subscription at the desired level. To avoid the memberships overlapping, you will, of course, want to do this near the end of your existing subscription.
For example, let’s assume you are a Regular member, your membership is set to renew on 2/1/2025, and you would like to renew as a Sustaining member.
To do this, prior to 2/1/2025 (for example, on 1/31/2025) you would visit My Account > Subscriptions, select your Regular membership subscription, and turn off “Auto Renew.” Then purchase a new Sustaining membership at MPHS Membership.
