Gift Membership FAQs
If I purchase a gift membership in November for a Christmas gift, when will the membership begin?
Memberships are active from the date of purchase, but gift memberships purchased in November and December do not expire until the end of the following December. (Note: Memberships purchased in November will show a November expiration date at checkout. This is updated by our membership team after purchase so that it reflects the correct expiration date of December.)
When will you send the card to the recipient?
All memberships purchased as a gift will have digital cards withheld from processing until after the holidays. If you’d like a personalized Gift Membership note card to present to the recipient, just let our staff know at the time of purchase or contact our membership team at membership@sciowa.org or 515-274-6868 ext. 4.
Can you send the cards to me instead of the recipient?
Digital cards work best when they are emailed directly to the Member. If you’d like a physical card to present to the recipient in lieu of a digital card, just let our staff know and we will get those printed and sent to you.
Can the recipient upgrade the membership after I present it to them?
Always! It is best to upgrade within the first three months after receiving the membership. They can simply call the SCI Membership Team at 515-274-6868 ext. 4.
