I missed this question before
With a couples membership you each get a badge, you can each have an account on the forum and you can each get the vendor discounts. Couples that are both socially active with the club usually will get the couples membership but a lot of married people have the single membership because they're significant other isn't interested.
We even have a father and daughter that take advantage of the couples membership. My husband and I each have MINIs so we're on the couples membership this way he can come out here and post on his own instead of always asking me what's going on... Hmmmm why does he still ask me? :hmmmm:
