We don't want to worry you but 4 weeks tomorrow....

Can you hear those Sleigh Bells Ring-a-ling and Jingle Bells Jing-a-ling? Have you given a thought to Decking the Hall or even Ding Donging Merrily? 








You are going to have to confront the Christmas shopping soon. Here at iMember HQ our phones have been buzzing away whilst out and about picking up on all the fabulous member benefits and discounts we are entitled to. 




Once you have registered on our oh-so-friendly website www.iMember.co.uk and listed your membership organisations (have a look back over all our recent blogs to help you identify some you may not even have thought of), download the free app from the appstore  by clicking here . Then grab your coat, hat and bag and hit those High Streets.





Christmas shopping should be fun and iMember can help make it even more so.

Focus on...The Bar Council

With over 15,000 practising barristers in England and Wales, The Bar Council is able to negotiate some substantial and useful discounts with many outlets (or "service partners" as they refer to them) for their members.

But it's the age old problem of how do you remember what all of these discounts are? iMember is the answer to the problem. Two minutes would be about how long it would take to follow this link:  www.iMember.co.uk , place your details on the iMember registration page, input that you are a member of the Bar Council and then watch as all your member benefits pop up on the screen in front of you.

There is an app you can download to your mobile phone too which will remind you of any member benefits you are entitled to whilst you are out and about (nb. this may take you just outside your 2 minute slot but not much - and we know you'll decide it's worth it!).

So from discounts on essentials such as insurance with AON or EFM Specialist Risks to discounts from outfitters such as Hawes & Curtis, Austin Reed and T.M. Lewin, iMember will remind you of them all.

Keep in shape with discounts from Fitness First and Gymbox, then reward yourself with a discounted stay at Hotel du Vin or Malmaison whilst indulging in some delicious food and wine.

There are many, many more benefits and bonuses sourced by The Bar Council - so make sure you're not missing out www.iMember.co.uk

Cold weather alert!

So the Met Office are warning us that winter is set to descend upon the country imminently. Of course in the Highlands of Scotland and the mountainy, hilly bits of Wales snow is already very much a feature of everyday weather. 

We like to look out for your welfare at iMember so we suggest you ensure you've got plenty of cold weather clothes to wear and if you haven't we suggest a quick shopping trip.



Before you go though make sure you've checked out your membership benefits with iMember at www.iMember.co.uk . With over 500,000 members, the Camping and Caravanning Club has negotiated some superb discounts for it's members at specialist outdoor wear companies such as Cotswold Company and Regatta Great Outdoors.

The Mountaineering Council of Scotland and the Geological Society of London have deals with Cotswold Company and Millets among many others.


iMember is here purely to remind you of the many many membership benefits you are entitled to. We don't want you to be cold and broke when the cold snap arrives, so sign up at www.iMember.co.uk (it's free AND easy) and make sure you download the free mobile app to so you can receive reminders of member benefits when you're out shopping.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow 

Newspapers ARE member organisations too

The thing with iMember is we'll always surprise you with new membership organisation tips (one day we might even surprise ourselves!). One way of transforming a gloomy, grey, rainy weekend is to lose yourself in the delights of the newspaper. Doesn't necessarily have to be the "weekend" one - you could catch up with the back log from the week gone by.

And if you do read or subscribe to a newspaper, they have offers and discounts to tickle your fancy as much as the next member organisation.

The Mail has The Mail Rewards Club.

The Telegraph Shop is waiting to tempt you. 

Guardian Offers  

and Times plus     are right there.

Not forgetting The Sun's Sun+ Perks.

All these papers' member offers can easily be seen or linked to on the iMember website. So head on over there www.iMember.co.uk and take a few moments to register (it's free by the way). Download the iMember app too (that's free as well), so that when you're out and about, your phone will remind you whenever you are within a certain radius of one of your member offers.

We're in the money....

Well actually we're not really, but it could be our lottery ticket that comes up this weekend or our turn for a big premium bond win next month. In the mean time, let's have a look at people who really are in the money and see what we can get back from them. We're talking about the high street banks.

You probably don't think of your bank as a "Membership Organisation" but they want to entice you in and retain you, in a very competitive market. So go to the iMember website www.iMember.co.uk and have a look to see what is on offer that you are just simply missing out on.

As a Barclays Premier customer you have unlimited free entry into the exhibitions at the Royal Academy (this was the reason iMember came into being actually - the founder of iMember, found out after he'd already paid £60 for two tickets to an exhibition at the RA that he could have got in for free, but he had forgotten about this membership offer and had at the time nothing to remind him....ping! the birth of a company!); you also have access to the Barclays Lounge at the O2, free entry to over 280 English Heritage sites and great dining discounts through the Gourmet Society.

NatWest on the other hand gives you travel and mobile phone insurance, excellent discounts with LoveFilm DVD rentals and also with HMV digital downloads.

Lloyds offers worldwide and UK travel insurance, AA breakdown cover and mobile phone insurance.

We cannot list all the member benefits and offers here but iMember has them all in its database. One click and you're there and you can start enjoying the membership benefits you are entitled to.

Happy weekend from all of us here at iMember.

not all types of account carry the same member benefits please check the website carefully.
