Comments.Text: The alternative would be to commence an entirely new/separate membership, so they have the old one still sitting as Expired, and then a second (or subsequent) on that is set as New. If that sounds a helpful approach you need then some googling should find more info about doing this - i can't recall the extension off hand. it may be Membership Extras but i think not

Comments.Text: Thank you! It did cross my mind but we use a customised member dashboard and that doesn't work as I'd like if there's more than one membership (though it at least at the moment informs them to get in touch). Think the rule may do it and shall update post if it does.

  We have gone with a CiviRule and created a custom action:
  
  trigger - 'membership is changed'
  
  field value comparison on 'membership status' from (original value) 'expired' to 'current'
  
  The custom action then changes that status immediately to 'new' with a status override for 6 months from the renewal data.
