What happens to bottles I already earned under my current membership?

Any bottles already earned under your existing membership plan will remain available under your current club terms.

Do I need to do anything to transition my membership?

No action is required. Your membership will automatically transition to the new program beginning May 27.

Will members receive bonus Cellar Credits during the transition?
