    Hi all,

    Currently have the personal Gold card and considering an upgrade to the personal Platinum with the upgrade offer. I’m midway through my membership year on the gold card. Does anyone know if there is a pro rata refund on the gold card when doing the upgrade?

    Kind regards,
    Will

    Yes, you will get a pro-rata Gold refund and then be charged the full Plat fee.
