Not sure about the tickets, but the meal vouchers have expirationn dates on them Right now it is last day of May 2003. As for the cancelling the membership, some people just don't want ot deal with the hassel of signing up and then discontinuing the membership, others don't liek to do transactions on the internet with credit cards etc. I've heard they are raising membership fees for this year, although I kept my membership I will not re-new if there is a big price increase. I'll just have DH do the $1.00 trial thing when we are near ready to go the next time.
