What is included in a Membership?
With a Joe Frank Membership, you can listen to Joe’s shows streaming online at your desk, or on the go with your smart device.
Note: The shows are available for download only through the Shop – the Membership is subscription-based access to online streaming content only.
With a Premium Membership (Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly), you gain access to every show, short film and miscellaneous other Joe Frank material. With a Series Membership, you will have access to the shows produced for that Series.
Can I give a Gift Membership?
YES you can!
You can purchase a Gift Membership to any of the Series Memberships or a Premium Membership (Month/Quarter/Year) from the Joe Frank – Membership Gift in the Shop. Gift Memberships will not automatically renew!
Once purchased we create a unique Coupon Code that can be used to sign-up for the purchased Membership and send this along with details in a Gift Membership E-mail; this is typically sent out within 24-48 hours after purchase. No Credit Card information will be asked for during the redeeming of this Coupon Code. If the person is already a Member (free or paid) they can ask us to apply this Coupon Code to their account for them, but by default we will never do this.
If you would like us to send the the Gift Membership E-mail to someone other than yourself, please fill that out in the Order Notes section of Checkout process. The purchaser will always get a copy of the Gift Membership E-mail for their own records.
NOTE: The person using the Gift Membership Coupon Code will have to create an account with JoeFrank.com and will be asked for Address details as seen on the Signup Form.
What is the term of a Membership?
The date you sign up is the beginning of your subscription cycle. So, for a Monthly Membership, your subscription renews exactly one month from the date you signed up. A Quarterly Membership renews three months later, the Annual Membership renews one year from sign-up.
Memberships automatically renew – To continue your Membership without interruption, your credit card will be charged on the first day of the next cycle.
However, you can cancel at any time and still have access for the rest of the cycle. Your credit card will not be charged again.
Want to listen for only one month? Sign up for a monthly membership and immediately cancel – you will have full access for that month and no longer be charged.
Remember – if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us for assistance. We provide quick and personal customer support!
