Dear NWPC member,
Happy New Year! Thank you for being a valued member of our community. We are looking forward to an exciting 2025 at the Northwest Pinball Collective as we grow our community and support more on-site Events and Tournaments.
With the new year, we are making important changes to the membership dues structure. Currently we have four separate levels (Solid State, Pro, Premium and Limited). We also offer both manual and automatic renewal, with varying terms (monthly, quarterly, annual) across levels. While this system made sense when we first opened, we have learned over the past three years that it has become confusing for potential new members and cumbersome to manage. Long story short, it’s time to simplify.
Here’s an overview of the upcoming changes. We’ll be reaching out directly about how these apply to you!
One Membership Level: “Member”
We’ve always considered the Pro level to be our “basic” membership. Moving forward, we will offer a single membership level titled “Member” which is essentially the Pro membership: unlimited access to the Sanctuary for $50/month with discounts for quarterly and annual payments.
New memberships will adhere to the new structure. Current memberships will transition on their next renewal date, starting March 1st.
Here are some examples of how the transition will work:
- A monthly membership would transition to the new structure on its March renewal date.
- A quarterly membership renewing February 15th would transition on May 15th (first renewal after March 1st).
- An annual membership renewing February 15th would transition on February 15th, 2026.
Memberships: Automatic Renewals
Managing manual renewals is one of our biggest pain-points, and we’d prefer to spend that time and effort on improving the Collective. Manual renewals have also caused confusion: We’ve had expired members using the space and late-renewing members unable to gain access. Therefore, we will be removing the manual-renewal option and all memberships will be set to Automatically Renew until canceled.
Kisi Access
Each Member will have their own access to the Sanctuary via Kisi. Household members can still be added on and will be $10/month for unlimited access (attending with the Member).
Current Premium Members: You’ll be able to add your household members via the shopping cart for $10/month each.
Current Limited Edition Members: Your second key-holder will need their own membership. We’ll be reaching out to facilitate the transition.
Guest Passes
Each Member will have 3 free guest passes each month.
Referral Coupon Bonus (FREE MONTH)
As we welcome 2025, we aim to grow our membership, and are offering a referral bonus worth a free month to current members who refer new members who stick around.
If you refer a new member and they sign up for an annual membership, you will receive a coupon for a free month at your next renewal.
If your referred member chooses a monthly or quarterly membership, simply let us know once they have maintained their membership for six consecutive months and we will send you a referral bonus coupon for one free month of membership at your next renewal.
Please note that this offer is only valid for new members who become active before March 31, 2025, and who maintain a minimum of six consecutive months of membership.
All-Member Meeting
We welcome ALL MEMBERS to attend our annual membership meeting for pizza, pinball and community on Saturday March 15th at 12pm-2pm. Stay after for our Howdy Pardner pinball play event!
Thank you for your continued support of NWPC! We look forward to seeing you soon at the Sanctuary.
Happy Flipping,
NW Pinball Collective Board of Directors
