Answers.Text: Hi Karin. I didn't mean to imply there was a problem with your answer, more that the question implied that when they were renewing they were only getting a couple of months added "Presently, if I create/renew my Membership in November 2019, it ends December 2019" hence i wondered if there was more to their problem than 'rollover date'

Comments.Text: Can you confirm that you mean this "Presently, if I renew my Membership in November 2019, it ends December 2019" or are you saying join/renew but do not have evidence of the problem existing when renewing? Karin's answer would be the right solution but if you are not seeing 1 year added to the End Date when someone renews then i think you have a separate problem

Title: Annual Memberships Renewed Early
ThreadText: # Annual Memberships Renewed Early
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-12-08)
  
  We have memberships that are "fixed" from Jan 1 through Dec 31. This works fine except for that we want that if anyone creates or renews a membership in November or December, that their membership will be valid for this year and next year.
  
  So if I create/renew my Membership in September 2019, I will be a member from then until December 2019.
  
  But if I create/renew my Membership in November 2019, I will be a member from then until December **2020**. Here I will get Nov/Dec of this year "for free" and then be a member for all of next year.
  
  Presently, if I create/renew a Membership in November 2019, it ends December 2019.
