Starting our 10th Year: 
VIP continues with a simplified points system and provides greater flexibility for volunteers to redeem their points.

Who can participate in VIP?
  • All volunteers, regardless of membership, will be tracked in the VIP system. 
  • Exceptions include individuals serving as part of an agreement in which their organization will receive a charitable donation in return for their service. MHBC Board members are also exempt from the program.
 
How does it work?
During the 2020 ride year (October 2019 through the BCB100 in October 2020), the following volunteer efforts will be tracked and rewarded:
  • ride volunteers
  • volunteering for the BCB Training Team
  • volunteering at special MHBC programs
  • formally representing MHBC at area events
  • working on special projects (e.g. mailing inventory, making phone calls, etc.)
  • serving on committees
 
Simplified Points System
Every volunteer opportunity will be listed as a specific level. Each level earns a different number of VIP points.
  • General Positions - 10 points - applies to most volunteer opportunities where you are still able to take part in the ride or general assistance outside of a club ride.
  • SAG Workers - 30 points - for working a SAG and missing the ride
  • SAG/Route Marking - 40 points - for hosting/organizing a SAG stop and missing the ride, or route marking the weekend before the ride during the afternoon.
Reward Points Redemption
Redeeming your VIP points is easy! Volunteers may spend their points at any time during the calendar year. Points can be redeemed for MHBC merchandise, as payment credit toward one of our club rides or membership renewal.

Points are worth $0.50 each.  Example point values:
    VIP Points   Value
  10 $5
  20 $10
  30 $15
  40 $20
  50 $25
  100 $50



How do I cash in my points?
  • Once you're ready to redeem some points, simply contact MHBC Volunteer Coordinator at volunteercoordinator@memphishightailers.com and request a coupon code for the number of points you wish to redeem, and if you want to use towards MHBC merchandise, membership, or a ride.
  • Once you receive your coupon code, you can use it on the MHBC website when paying for a ride or renewing your membership, or on the MHBC Store website for merchandise.
  • Codes for merchandise cannot be used on the MHBC club website, and codes for rides/membership cannot be used on the MHBC Store website.
  • You must use the entire credit/coupon value at one time. No refunds can be given.
  • Only one coupon can be used per purchase.

Special VIP Merchandise
  • VIP cycling jerseys may be special ordered and paid for with VIP credits only. If you have earned 120 points and would like a jersey, email the Volunteer Coordinator.
