Overview of the ZIN Membership Hold Program
The ZIN Membership Hold Program allows members to temporarily pause their membership while preserving its value. This program is designed to provide flexibility for members who may need a break without canceling their membership entirely.
Key Features
Duration: You can place your membership on hold for up to six months within a calendar year. Holds can be used consecutively or in separate blocks.
Cost: A reduced fee of $9 USD is charged monthly during the hold period. These payments accumulate as credits and are applied toward your membership dues upon reactivation.
Access: All membership benefits, including access to mobile apps, digital content, and teaching licenses, are suspended during the hold. If more than six months have passed since your training, your teaching license will also be suspended until reactivation.
Eligibility and Enrollment
Eligibility: Members must complete an initial six-month commitment period before requesting a hold.
Enrollment Steps: - Log in to your ZIN account. - Specify the number of months you wish to place your membership on hold. - Submit your request before the 19th of the month to ensure it takes effect for the current billing cycle.
Reactivation Process
Your membership will automatically reactivate at the end of the selected hold period.
You can choose to reactivate earlier by logging into your account and taking your membership off hold.
Special Circumstances
Extensions beyond the six-month limit may be considered for special cases, such as prolonged illness. These requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may require supporting documentation.
