1. Membership Renewals

How do I know if I am on the automatic renewal plan?

If you purchased your membership with a debit card, credit card or via direct debit, you are part of our automatic renewal program unless you have opted out as per the direction of the club. An email was sent to those on the automatic renewal plan with all relevant information regarding their 2024 Membership package and price.

When will my Membership automatically renew?

If you purchased your 2023 Membership with a debit card, credit card or via direct debit, you are part of our automatic renewal program. An email was sent to those on the automatic renewal plan with all relevant information regarding their 2024 Membership package and price. If your Membership is set up on auto renewal, your 2024 Membership payment will be processed on Wednesday 25th October 2023.

How can I opt out of the automatic renewal?

You can only opt out of auto-roll over in writing by sending an email to our Membership Services Team stating your Member ID number, full name and reason for opt out no later than 5:00pm Friday 20th October 2023.

Why is my Membership rate changing in 2024?

We have tried to keep our membership rates as low as possible over the past few years despite rising costs to the Club.

However, the future success of our Club relies on keeping competitive with our rival NRL teams and investing in our people and pathways.

Members play a critical role in the success of our Club both on and off the field, and they are our lifeblood. Our commitment to our Members has always been and remains to be, providing them with value-driven and affordable memberships.

Despite a small price rise in 2024, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs remain one of the most competitive and value-driven Clubs of all the NRL when it comes to Membership.

If I'm paying more, what more am I getting?

All Membership Package prices in 2024 have been designed to offer our members value, greater access to players, and more exclusive events and match day experiences. Prices have been calculated based on the individual Membership pack inclusions and benefits. 

In 2024, all Members will have exclusive access to the Bulldogs Benefits App which offers unlimited savings across hundreds of leading retail brands. Meaning Members can save money across a range of goods and services, simply by joining the Pack.

At-Home membership packages allow members who are unable to attend matches, or who simply prefer to support from home, to still demonstrate their support for the Club and be part of our family. Most At-Home packages include a Members Pack and merchandise, and each pack has been priced fairly to account for increases in the cost of production of these goods.

Likewise, In Stadium memberships are for those who can attend live home matches, and the package prices greatly vary based on the additional inclusions. With rising costs to the Club from stadiums and across goods, services, and merchandise, each pack has been priced fairly to account for these increases whilst maintaining a premium viewing experience.

To compare Members packs, please browse our website.

Can I change my Membership Package?

Yes, but first you will need to opt out of the automatic renewal plan. Once you have opted out, you can browse our website to find an In Stadium, At Home and Foundation package that suits you. If you need help choosing, you can contact the Membership Services Team.

You will have until 5:00pm (AEDT) Friday 20 October 2023 to advise the Club of any changes you need to make to your Membership, or to notify the club in writing if you do not want to renew your Membership into the next season. Please note an additional service and handling fee may apply.

If you do not notify the club in writing that you want to opt out before 5:00pm (AEDT) Friday 20 October 2023, it will be deemed that you have agreed to have your Membership renewed automatically. You can opt out of automatic renewal by emailing members@bulldogs.com.au

How do I know if my Membership has been renewed?

You will receive a confirmation email once your Membership has been renewed and payment has been deducted. If you are unsure if your Membership has been renewed, please contact the Membership Services Team by emailing members@bulldogs.com.au.

3. Membership Packs and Mber+ Platform

What is Mber+?

Mber+ is a bespoke online platform which will allow eligible 2024 Members to customise their Membership Pack with an array of available items, some of which can be personalised. Each Member receives product entitlements to be redeemed as well as a credit value to be spent in the Mber+ shop on items of their choosing. 

How do I begin?

The Mber+ platform launched in November 2022. Primary Account Holders (PAH) who have renewed or purchased a 2024 Membership will receive an introductory email with a username and further information about how to establish an account in Mber+. For new Members, you can expect to receive the introductory email within a week of making the purchase.

I am a 2024 Member, but I haven’t received an email about Mber+

Please visit our contact us page to enquire as to when you will receive this introductory email. 

How do I start building my Membership Pack? 

Once you’ve received your introductory email you will be able to sign in to your Mber+ account in the Login page using the username provided in the email you received and the password you created. Once signed in you will be able to redeem your product entitlements and progress through the shop to spend the assigned credit value for all Members in your group. 

Who is eligible to receive a Membership Pack and credit? 

Members who have purchased their 2024 Membership are entitled to receive a Membership pack and credit towards the Mber+ shop. Registered Junior League Members as well as Companion Members will receive a digital copy of their Membership Card as well as the ability to establish an Mber+ account and shop the store. 

What is the credit? 

This credit is available for you to use within the shop and has been provided as part of your Membership. Each Member within your group receives an assigned credit amount, this is combined to allow the PAH to spend the entirety of the credit in the same transaction.

How much credit do I have? 

Once signed in to your Mber+ account you will see your credit in the top right corner of your screen. This credit can be used to shop for items across all categories as well as cover the postage and handling fees associated with your order. 

Please note: this amount does not update as you add items to your cart. View the cart to see the amount owed including the postage and handling. Adult, Concession and Junior Members each receive a credit to the value of $50. Whilst Family’s of 4 receive a credit of $180, this takes into account the discounted bundle that makes up the Family Membership and considers that postage and handling fees will cover the entire groups order. 

Will I receive more credit if I do not redeem the core Membership entitlements? 

Once signed in to your Mber+ account, you will have the option to redeem a physical Membership card as well as a sticker sheet. You will not receive additional credit for choosing not to redeem these items.

All Members will also receive a separate email containing a digital copy of your Membership card which can be added to your wallet on compatible devices as well as a pdf version that can be printed. 

How can I apply credit to my order? 

Once you reach the checkout stage of your Mber+ journey, please apply your credit by entering the value of your credit into the designated text box. This credit value can be used to pay for the products in your cart as well as the postage and handling. The available credit value will not be automatically added to your order, please ensure you add this value before you checkout.

Does my credit also cover the postage and handling fees? 

Yes, the credit can be used to cover the cost of the postage and handling fees.

Can I spend above the assigned credit value? 

With an array of items to choose from, there is no limit to what can be included in your Membership pack. If you do exceed the amount of credit value you are able to pay the excess by entering your payment details. If at a later time you would like to add on more items, you can always sign in to your account and purchase more items in a separate transaction.

How long do my entitlements last?

Entitlements will not be carried over from year to year. On the 31st of August 2024, any remaining entitlements (product and credit) will be removed. You will not receive a Membership Pack unless you redeem your pack and will not be entitled to additional credit moving forward if you do not receive a Membership Pack. 

How can I personalise my own Membership items? 

Selected items can be personalised with a name or even with your choice of colour. Simply customise any selected item within our product page(s) prior to adding your item/s to cart.
