What's New
National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying) New Membership Scheme
To thank the general public and our loyal members for their ongoing support since its opening in 2018, the Center is launching a new membership scheme for 2020.
There will be a change in Weiwuying membership renewal policy from 2020, when reward points will replace the current system. Members can accumulate points at a rate of one point per dollar spent.The new scheme allows you to transfer points to a friend or family member from 2021. After renewing your membership at the end of the year, you can transfer any remaining points to up to three friends or family members. In the event that no points are transferred within a month after your membership is renewed, your remaining points will become invalid and your balance will be reset to zero.
Members can collect points from tickets purchased for our programs and by shopping in the Center's stores and restaurants as well as our online store. A minimum discount of 10% is applied in stores and restaurants and on our branded products, excluding sale items. Other benefits include priority access to our latest programs and events, listed in our e-newsletter and official bimonthly magazines.
Weiwuying Unlimited stole the hearts of theatergoers and music lovers in the past year. Applications for 2020 Unlimited membership open on Thursday, November 7, 2019. As a new Unlimited member, you can attend Weiwuying programs in 2020 for free and receive an event program from the front desk of the venue by presenting your membership card and stamped ticket on the day of the performance.

Benefits of the New Membership Scheme

Lifestyle members enjoy a 10% discount on unlimited tickets for programs organized by Weiwuying (excluding co-organized or co-sponsored programs). Lifestyle members joining in 2020 will qualify for free membership renewal by earning 4800 points in a year. After the deduction of qualifying points for membership renewal at the end of the year, you can transfer any remaining points to up to three friends or family members at 4800 points per new Lifestyle membership. In the event that no points are transferred within a month after you successfully renew your membership, your remaining points will become invalid and your balance will be reset to zero.

Managing the new membership scheme for current members
- For members who joined in 2018, their membership will expire on December 31, 2019. These members can enjoy free membership renewal providing if they have completed 12 spends. A points collection system will be introduced from January 1, 2020, at a rate of one point per dollar spent, and the previous balance will be reset to zero.
Some changes in our membership reward system will be introduced from January 1, 2020. A points collection system replaces the existing ‘number of spends’ system. Members that joined Weiwuying Lifestyle in 2019 can earn 4800 points if they complete 12 qualifying spends before December 31, 2019. In the event that they have made less than 12 spends before this date, members will be allocated 4300 points. Members can have free membership renewal by earning 4800 points before the validity period expires, and the previous balance will be reset to zero.
