Together 20 Guidelines

By referring a new member, current YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South members can give a friend or loved one the chance to receive $20 off their monthly membership fees for Household Memberships or $10 off for Individual Memberships, as long as they both remain members of the YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South.

What membership types qualify for a reduced Together 20 membership rate?

The Together 20 reduced membership rate can only be applied to a full YMCA facility membership type that pays the YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South directly through an automatic bank or credit card draft. The discount is not available for corporate memberships subsidized by employers or paid for via payroll deduction, insurance-based memberships (such as Renew Active and Silver and Fit) or another third party that pays your Y membership dues on your behalf. Youth memberships are not eligible for Together 20 at this time.

What happens if my friend cancels their membership?

You can refer a new friend to remain eligible in the program. Your discount may be removed without a current referral.

Can I combine the Together 20 rate reduction with other subsidies I have?

As a YMCA member, you are entitled to receive the best single rate option currently available to you, however, different rate reductions cannot be combined. See a Welcome Center Staff Member at your Y to help you find the best rate.

Does my friend or family member have to be with me to join?

No. New members just need to bring in the referral email they receive from their friend or family member when they join in order to receive the savings off of their first billing cycle.

Do the referral and member have to be at the same center?

No. Your friends can join at any center within the YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South. Visit www.ymcamemphis.org for a list of our locations.

How many friends or family members can I refer?

Members can refer as many people as they would like. In fact, it is to your benefit to refer more than one friend or family member so, in the event one of your referrals decides to leave the Y, you have another referral attached to your membership, which ensures your membership savings stay in place. However, the maximum savings you will receive is $20 off per month for Household Memberships or $10 off per month for Individual Memberships.

I am joining the Y as a new member in the Member Referral Program. Do I have to pay a joining fee?

Yes. You will still be required to pay the full joining fee at the time you join the Y. The discount on membership savings may only be applied to the standard monthly membership dues.

When will my discount go into effect?

The referring member’s monthly rate will take effect on the next month’s drafting cycle after your friend joins and has completed all membership requirements. The new member will receive the discount on their monthly rate with their first month’s draft.

If I currently have a membership that offers more of a reduction to me than the Together 20 Referral Program, can I still invite a friend to receive the 20% monthly reduced rate?

Yes. You can keep your current membership rate and your friend will receive the monthly rate reduction.

Can members with insurance-based memberships refer friends to be a part of the Together 20 Referral Program?

Yes, insurance-based membership members may refer a friend who pays by a monthly bank or credit card draft, and the new member can receive the monthly reduction; however the referring insurance-based membership member will not receive the monthly reduction.

Can all of my family refer friends?

Everyone over the age of 18 is encouraged to refer friends to the Y. However, the Together 20 Referral Program allows one price reduction for each membership unit.

What if a staff member refers a new member?

Staff referrals are not eligible for the Together 20 Referral Program.

If I no longer qualify for a current discount, and I have a friend that is a current member of the Y, can they recruit me as their referral?

Current members cannot recruit other current members to be referrals. You will need to refer someone who is not a member in order to be eligible for the Together 20 Referral Program.

What if my referral used to be a Y member?

If the new member is a former member of the Y, he or she must have canceled their membership a minimum of 60 days ago.

If I am upgrading my membership by adding household members will that count as a referral?

New membership must be a full-rate membership type. Adding members to a current membership is not eligible for this promotion.

When can a new member take advantage of referring a friend?

Once you have activated a membership at the YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South on a monthly draft you are free to refer a friend at any time.

What if I have an annual or semi-annual membership?

To benefit under the Together 20 referral program a membership has to be on a monthly draft. If the new member joins with a monthly draft they may begin receiving the discount immediately. The referring member can convert to monthly draft at the end of their term and begin receiving the discount at that time.

What if my friend qualifies for and chooses an alternative rate (Open Doors, Corporate, etc), am I still qualified for the Together 20 reduction?

Yes, you would still receive the Together 20 reduction if you refer a friend who joins under a different subsidy as long as their membership remains active.
