When you have fixed renewal dates, new applicants can join "early" and get prorated or credited for an additional renewal period a set of number months before the fixed renewal date.
If an existing member renews early and changes level (e.g. 1 year to 3 year membership), he does not get the same proration/credit applied. e.g. renew 1 month early, changing to 3 year membership, his new renewal date is in 25 months, not 37 months. He feels he has been shortchanged an entire year.
The same prorating settings under "new applications" should apply.
