5. When will the next payment be charged to my card?

You can cancel your membership payments on the "Manage my Payments" page.
- Log in to your account as above
- Click the arrow next to the payment you want to cancel or edit
- Click 'Cancel recurring donation' (it says donation even though it is for membership
- Click 'Edit' to update your credit card details
7. Can I change an Individual Membership to a Joint Membership or vice versa?
Yes. Contact the TPT President for assistance.
8. Why a subscription?
The decision to take payments in this way was not made lightly. TPT is run entirely by volunteers who have work and family commitments as well, so the need to keep the administration time commitment low is essential to keep TPT going. Through many discussions, the TPT Committee determined that using the website to take recurring payments is the best option to reduce administration time, so we can spend our time on the fun stuff instead - organising field trips and workshops!
9. Why only one level of membership for all?
The TPT Committee discussed many membership models before deciding to offer only one membership level of $25 per person. We have a small budget for the website, and only offering one level of membership keeps the annual website fees low. We will review the membership model annually.
