Memberships having punches
Hey Andy,
Thanks for the latest update. RGP only gets better with every one.
A question about the option for members to have punch cards as well. When you check in a member with a punch card, it does not remove a punch. Were you thinking of using punches as additional access for yoga, etc? The system says the punches aren't for extras.
My idea was that people could be members with an expiration date on the membership, like youth club, and the punches would be for their entry. If that is the case, then a punch should come off when you check them in.
Maybe I am looking at it differently than you had in mind. Could that be an option, or when you check in a member with a punch card, have a pop up window that asks if you want to remove a punch?
Cheers,
Clay

Hmmm, I can see the confusion.
I added the visible punch tab on Members because many gyms had members who either 1) had punches prior to becoming a member and wanted to use them for friends or 2) just wanted to keep a punch balance between one month prepaid memberships.
For friends, you can use the new "Share Punches" button (must enable it in Settings).
But you are correct, the Membership will always take precedence over the punches. And if their membership expires, you'll need to switch them back to Punch Card to use the punches (though I could look at having this last step be automatic in a future update).
Thanks Andy,
Having played around with RGP before the update, I found that if a person had punches and was switched to a member, when switched back to a punch card the punches were still there.
I understand the reasoning, I still think it would be very helpful to have prepaid, EFT, and punch card members. It would be nice to have an automatic expiration date (membership) for certain punch card holders. Not the punch card expiring, but the membership that gives them access to a cheaper punch card. Like youth club, or members of the local alpine club, etc. Just how are gym works and my thoughts.
Again thanks for the clarification Andy.

Is there suppose to be a button for this on the check-in screen I am missing?

It must be enabled in Data Entry -> Settings -> Customers -> Casually Share Punches
Then restart Check In.
That was it! Thanks!
