Answers.Text: Can i achieve the above with 2 autorenewing memberships of different renewal periods with price sets? I am trying but despite both memberships having 'required autorenewal' when i look at them in membership, when looking as a new user at the contribution page it looks like they would not auto renew. Or is it that the 'Membership will renew automatically.' sign doesn't get displayed in that scenario?
  Thanks again for your help

Answers.Text: Unfortunately, I do not have experience with autorenewals yet. If in doubt, you could create a test setup with short renewal periods to test the behavior. Hopefully someone else can chime in and provide some better guidance.

Body: <p>Is it possible to use price sets to require members to sign up to 2 membership (ideally both autorenewed)? One is an annual insurance fee, the other a monthly membership fee. I'm getting error messages at the moment when testing that states that signing up to 2 memberships from one organization is not doable.</p>
  
  <p>is making a 2nd, separate organisation for the insurance the way to go?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much for your help,
