Change your Gold Membership

If you have a monthly or quarterly Gold Membership and want to switch to a quarterly or annual plan, follow the steps below from the ChessKid account that originally made the purchase.

What happens to my old membership?

When you make a new purchase, any remaining membership credit from your current plan (if purchased from the same account) will automatically be applied to the new plan. The new purchase will then replace your previous membership and time frame.

If your Gold Membership was purchased through a third party, such as iOS/Apple or Google Play, please contact our Support Team for help, as these memberships require a special process.
