Consider Special Functionality Needed When Adding, Activating or Inactivating a Membership
Should a letter or bill message be generated when a membership is created or activated? Should anything happen when a membership is inactivated? If so, you may need to define one or more algorithms to be plugged in on the membership type.
For our examples, let's say that a bill message is generated when a frequent flier or free pay-per-view membership is created. Let's say that a letter is generated when a capital credits membership is activated. We also assume that when a capital credits membership becomes inactive, any outstanding balance is redeemed. For the frequent flier miles and pay-per-view memberships, we assume nothing special occurs when the membership becomes inactive.
