If it's so 'obviously' wrong, why have you been unable to construct a sound argument to demonstrate this?

Perhaps because some people cannot see what is right and wrong, whatever is put in front of them?

If i is such a good and fair deal why hasn't MSE added it to the NT deals

Why not, because it stinks................

But it is merely your opinion of what is right and wrong. Why is your opinion more "right" than anyone else's?

It is not illegal, which is society's way of coming to a consensus among differing opinions of what is "wrong".

Is it right? Is it wrong?

Why doesn't MSE add it to the NT deals then if it is a right thing to do?

Because it is beyond the pale...............

Absolutely.

And my opinion obviously occupies a higher ground than yours.

Once again, one doesn't MSE have on it's Wednesday emails and the NT page itself

"Save money on a NT membership, take out a NZ membership"

because it stinks plain and simple.

Probably because they don't know about it - they don't have every deal and loophole possible on there.

It also wouldn't be saving money on NT membership (you are still failing to grasp the subtleties of this). Buying NZ Historic Trust membership gives you membership to the NZ Historic Trust, one of the benefits of which is access to NT properties (and English Heritage properties and various other properties throughout the world). It does not give you NT membership and all the benfits that entails (such as free car parking at NT properties, the regular magazine, the NT book of properties etc. etc.)

And some people will not just admit they are in the wrong.

If you had pointed out that I was doing something so dodgy then I would feel ashamed.

You evidently don't.

Yawn.

It's a way of getting access to UK NT properties without paying the UK membership fee. Hence it reduces how much a charity (repeat a charity) gets.

It stinks and will never appear as a legitamate deal on MSE because it stinks so much.

We are going over old wounds here... If all parties involved, ie national trust uk, and New Zealand historic trust, and all the other national trust type companies around the world, who have an agreement to do this, then what is so wrong? Honestly I'm not sure what your point is, you obviously don't agree with it, but its allowed and agreed on, by all those involved. If I was doing anything illegal, fraudulent or deceitful, I wouldn't do it, but everyone involved knows the situation. We are all consenting ADULTS.
You have yet to 'point out anything dodgy'.
Qetu, just don't join, it's really that simple, and keep your very polished morals intact.
