Suggestions for further Mumsnet Premium offers

@Charliec12
Hi. I've asked for your post to be moved to somewhere more appropriate.
Hopefully you will get some support there.

You dont need to keep going into your account to change names. Just tap in the other user name you use in the name bar on your post.

That works for posting on an existing thread but when starting a thread there's no option to type a username into the name bar and the thread has to be started using whatever your name is at that time. There used to be a name bar there when starting a thread so you could choose a username to post it with but it disappeared aged ago.

Ooh, or a tour of Mumsnet Towers!

Yes, site features appeal to me too. I've signed up just to help MN out a bit because it's been a lifeline for years and has introduced me to many amazing women that I'm now friends with in real life.

I'm not a big one for spending on clothes, or a fan of switching suppliers/insurers etc. Something like a monthly draw for premium subscribers for an Amazon voucher or similar would be useful though- even £25 would get your kindle nicely stocked up!

I agree on aiming perks at the mumsnetter rather than at the family or "mum". If I'm paying for a subscription for myself, I want benefits that I'd enjoy for myself. Home insurance is not a treat for me, neither is money off my utilities, and I have no need for pushchairs nowadays.

Offer some premium exclusive competitions and product tests, maybe even throw in some sort of one-off subscription swag. I have a magazine subscription that costs me roughly £5 a month and with that I got a fairly decent gift at the start of the subscription and I get one again once per year when I renew it - the gift changes so I'd guess its provided by whoever is sponsoring them at the time the subscription is taken out? Audible gives me a free audiobooks each month alongside whatever audiobooks I've paid for. Chewigem gives me one free credit each month to spend in their shop, 1 item = 1 credit.

Remove all of the adverts. If I'm paying for a subscription, I don't want to see a single one. Removing some or most isn't enough.

I'd want tech features that make the cost worth it, not just the quote function but an extra level of filters such as the filter by OP option mentioned, better/more emotes, the option of choosing which username to start a thread as without having to go into my account to change usernames, if I use a name change on a thread then for whatever reason then for that thread to "remember" which username I posted with and to default to that username on that thread to prevent any name change fails (would stop people sockpuppetting too).

Free Mumsnet mug for every subscriber? (actually seriously, would love one)

I'm not bothered by offers and discounts but I like the idea of premium only competitions and experiences.
Maybe a behind the scenes day at MN Towers?

The power to ban people (just for a day!) would be fantastic

Filter by user would incentivise me, people often respond to someone instead of quoting, and then you can never find the post they are referring to.

Filter by op will be great for everyone.

Chats with celebs or folks of interest is also a very good idea.

Or you could do something fun, like “ be a guest moderator for a day”. Say once a month someone wins. Obviously with no lasting power Ie you can’t actually ban folks. But more to see what goes on behind the scenes. That could be amusing for everyone, particularly in terms of the deletion messages the winner posted.

I think more things that are aimed at the actual MNetter, and not them as mum or family household manager! I agree with @WhatWouldDominicDo - stuff for me, like gin (not so bothered with chocolate, but know others might be!). Good books or DVDs, or subscriptions to streaming services, or magazines.

What about a monthly raffle? Love a raffle.

10% off Bugaboo.com, £100 off Octopus energy when you switch, 3 months free superfast broadband with Zen, £80 John Lewis voucher when you sign up to Admiral insurance and up to £100 off holidays with Holidays Please

Honestly, none of those offers appeal to me. Sorry MN.

Free gin and chocolate might do though.

And remember not all of us are in the UK. So as much as I’m happy to pay the subscription for premium, I and many others are not going to get the same benefits. This may be a byproduct of being on a UK site but we can’t join in competitions etc.

I'd pay if I could have a block poster option and could only see posts by the OP on threads.

Mind you, if I did block everyone who had ever pissed me off there would only be about three of you left

Tangible free gifts.
Subscription only testers for food etc.
Early access to offers page.
Exclusive chats with celebrities or persons of interests.

The product tests used to be brilliant. Can we get priority on the ones where we fit the criteria?

Also, would love more stuff for us, rather than for babies. My babies are 18 and 20.

It would be great if the search function was also managed by date as some posts that come up are so old...

Ooooo. Thanks! I thought I was probably missing something obvious!

@GuiltyBark
You could maybe bookmark your own post then when you click on the thread again it will go to your post.

Maybe I'm a numpty but is there an easy way to pick up a thread from where I last posted as opposed to going to the end of the thread and having to track back?

If there were adverts before I never noticed them!

I'd like tech tricks too. I beta tested the find poster feature and I LOVED it. I was so sad when the beta test ended...
