This new monthly subscription will allow members to join an elite cohort of the most dedicated Meetup members. It also opens up access to a whole suite of exciting features and benefits, some previously offered only to organizers, and others brand new. Learn more about what makes Meetup+ so special, how it\u2019s going to amplify community togetherness, and how you can subscribe today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Meetup+ works&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, there were three membership tiers you could choose from: Member, Organizer, and Pro Organizer. Now there\u2019s a tier between Member and Organizer that gives active community members the opportunity to customize their experience and gain some organizer capabilities, all at a lower monthly fee than the Organizer tier. Check out these Meetup+ benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meetup+ badge&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"264\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Member_plus_badge.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Member_plus_badge.png 264w, https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Member_plus_badge-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Every member who gets a premium subscription will receive a distinct Meetup+ badge attached to their profile. It\u2019s an easy way to stand out from the crowd and demonstrate that you\u2019re an active, invested community participant. Whenever you RSVP, send a message, or appear throughout the app, other members will know that you\u2019re Meetup+.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Priority event announcements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Say goodbye to event waitlists. As of January 2023, Meetup+ subscribers will hear about new events as they are announced before the rest of Meetup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An ad-free experience of Meetup across all platforms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meetup+ provides you more of what you love, and less of what you don\u2019t. Subscribers to this tier won\u2019t see ads appear on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/apps\/?utm_source=meetup&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=mmrk_text_link_baware_app_blog\">Meetup app<\/a> or on the website. This includes ads that normally appear on pages, as well as those that appear after you register for events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Custom app icons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1108\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/member_plus_icons_2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/member_plus_icons_2.png 1108w, https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/member_plus_icons_2-560x134.png 560w, https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/member_plus_icons_2-768x184.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1108px) 100vw, 1108px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you become a Meetup+ subscriber, you get access to unique app icons designed in-house by the Meetup team. This allows you to swap out the existing Meetup logo on your phone\u2019s home screen, and replace it with a unique and personalized icon. From a range of images (some available only for a limited time), you can choose the custom icon that best represents you and how you use Meetup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prioritized support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you have questions, Meetup will be ready to assist. All Meetup+ members have prioritized access to the resources of Meetup\u2019s Community Support team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Early access to pre-released features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of new premium members can actually improve your own experience as a group organizer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of the Meetup+ badge, you\u2019ll be able to easily identify this self-selecting group of the most engaged Meetup members. Recruiting passionate folks to host events or become assistant organizers is a great way to share the responsibility of leadership and expand your group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Meetup+ is a big deal for organizers, too&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Meetup membership is in the Organizer tier, you\u2019ll automatically get all of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/meetup-product-release-notes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">features that Meetup+ subscribers receive<\/a>. Plus, your capabilities on Meetup will continue to be more widespread compared to those of the Member and Meetup+ tiers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of new premium members can actually improve your own experience as a group organizer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of the Meetup+ badge, you\u2019ll be able to easily identify this self-selecting group of the most engaged Meetup members. Recruiting passionate folks to host events or become assistant organizers is a great way to share the responsibility of leadership and expand your group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to subscribe to Meetup+&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting in mid-December, when you log in through the latest version of the\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/apps\/?utm_source=meetup&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=mmrk_text_link_baware_app_blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meetup app<\/a> and visit your profile screen, you\u2019ll be prompted with a screen that has simple instructions for becoming a Meetup+ member. With a small fee, you can experience all of the above features through the app.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to see what it\u2019s like to have Meetup+ benefits, you can opt for a seven-day free trial period. When you do become a subscriber, the monthly fee will be auto-renewed, giving you one less thing to worry about as your social life grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Become a premium member of Meetup by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/lp\/meetup-member-plus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">subscribing to Meetup+ today<\/a>! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\"><p>The Meetup+ (formerly Member+) offering is an exciting development for members who want more social opportunities at their fingertips.
