Effect of My Y Pricing on Members

For people who were members of the Y when My Y Pricing was introduced in August of 2011, find information related to grandfathered rates, the former financial assistance process and program participation.

My current membership is a branch specific membership. Will that change? 
If I cancel and rejoin later, can I keep my grandfathered rate?
I'm a current member. What if I need to make a change to my membership?
I'm a current member and I wish to “grandfather” my rate. Is there any reason at any time that I will be forced to change my membership rate? 
I am a current member and I receive financial assistance (formerly known as YPathways) for my membership. How will My Y Pricing affect me?
I am a current member and I also receive financial assistance (formerly known as YPathways) for a program I participate in. How will My Y Pricing affect me?
I am a current member. How does My Y Pricing affect programs I've already registered for? 
I am a program member. How does My Y Pricing affect programs I've already registered for?

Q.  Who is grandfathered and what does that mean? 

 A.  Members of the YMCA of Greater Charlotte on August 1, 2011 have the option to maintain their current membership rate. Your grandfathered rate is subject to inflationary increases which has always been the case. If there is any interruption or changes to your membership including but not limited to cancelation, stopped payment, insufficient funds or adding a person, you will need to be converted to the new My Y Pricing structure.

Q.  If I cancel and rejoin later, can I keep my grandfathered rate?

 A.  No. Any new memberships including re-joining members after July 31, 2011 will use the My Y Pricing structure.

Q.  I'm a current member. What if I need to make a change to my membership?

 A.  Beginning August 1, 2011, any changes to the membership (including adding or removing people from your household) will be conducted within the My Y Pricing structure.

Q.  I'm a current member and I wish to “grandfather” my rate. Is there any reason at any time that I will be forced to change my membership rate? 

 A.  Current members will be grandfathered at their current membership rate and are only subject to inflationary increases so long as the membership remains current and unchanged by the member.

Q.  I am a current member and I receive financial assistance (formerly known as YPathways) for my membership. How will My Y Pricing affect me? 

 A.  As a current member on financial assistance your membership rate will not change until your scheduled review. At that time you will be converted to a membership rate based on your household income within the My Y Pricing structure. We encourage you to check our online rate calculator to find your new rate. If you choose, you can convert to My Y Pricing prior to your review.

Q.  I am a current member and I also receive financial assistance (formerly known as YPathways) for a program I participate in. How will My Y Pricing affect me?

 A.  As a member receiving financial assistance for programs, your program discount will not be affected until your scheduled review. At that time, you will be converted to a membership rate based on your household income within the My Y Pricing structure and you will be informed of program discounts if applicable.

Q.  I am a current member. How does My Y Pricing affect programs I've already registered for?

 A.  If you have already registered for a program that has ongoing payments (like preschool and afterschool) you have the option to keep your current rate. If you have converted to My Y Pricing and receive an adjusted membership rate based on income, additional program discounts may apply. Please check with a member services representative.
