There is a local sports centre near me that has a massive waiting list. I was able to join the waiting list so when I next went in (as a guest of a member) I asked the manager at the desk how long the list currently was so that I could get in idea of how long I had to wait. He told me that the list was closed due to how many were on it. I told him that I had been able to join the list. He was really surprised and asked me how I did it. I tried to show him on his computer but, it kept autofilling his details so he just said he’d look into it and email me later.
I was curious so when I got home I tried to see how I had done it and whether I had missed anything. When I clicked about I saw a button that said “become a member” so I clicked it and it basically let me set up membership and took the joining fee, set up direct debit etc. I now have a membership number etc.
So now I’m really confused as to why it’s let me do that! I clicked back and it does say in small print that the button I clicked was for people who had been sent an invitation to join. But I honestly didn’t see that, only the big button saying Become a Member.
Should I call and explain what’s happened or should I just go in and ask for my membership card?! AIBU to try my luck and see if I can get in on this loophole in their system or is that morally wrong?
