点评:No doubt this is a world class museum. My mother and I have had a lifetime membership since there was a membership drive years ago when the museum was in dire financial distress. We continued the membership for years, brought friends and family who purchased memberships after visiting. I called the museum when my mother passed and had the account changed to my name only. I received my Life Member card valid thru 12-31-2026. I’ve used this card and the one that was issued in my name before several times. When I sent an email to update my email address, I was told my card was no longer valid because the people that issued it were no longer there and though “he understands my frustration “ it is now inactive. This is a Life Membership IN MY NAME and the person I talked to to dispute this , I believe, was the same one I notified of my mother’s death and the needed name change. I understand that financial circumstances change and that the policy of a Life Membership may need to be updated, but to do it in the middle of a membership is classless, shameful and reeks of poor policy toward loyal members, SHAMEFUL
翻译:毫无疑问,这是一个世界级的博物馆。我和我母亲自从几年前博物馆陷入严重的财务困境时发起会员活动以来就拥有了终身会员资格。我们继续保持会员资格多年,并带参观后购买会员资格的朋友和家人来。母亲去世后,我给博物馆打电话,将帐户更改为我的名字。我收到了有效期至 2026 年 12 月 31 日的终身会员卡。这张卡和之前以我名义发行的卡我使用过几次。当我发送电子邮件更新我的电子邮件地址时,我被告知我的卡不再有效,因为发行它的人不再在那里,虽然“他理解我的沮丧”,但现在已经不活跃了。这是以我的名义颁发的终身会员资格,我相信,我与之交谈以对此提出异议的人就是我通知母亲去世和需要更改名字的人。我理解财务状况会发生变化,终身会员的政策可能需要更新,但在会员期间这样做是没有品位的,是可耻的,也是对忠诚会员的糟糕政策,可耻
