Answers.Body: <p>Although I don't think this will satisfy Dave T's need for something without any coding, the following would be my preferred way.</p>
  
  <p>Let's say you have three membership types, each with premium/non-premium options:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Student member</li>

  <li>Premium Student member</li>
  <li>Premium Individual member</li>
  <li>Premium Family member</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Then, set up a price set with two fields.  One is radio buttons with one option per membership type.  The other is just a single checkbox with no price (but a label saying "go premium for $100" or whatever).  You add a bit of javascript to the form that does the following on page load and every time the checkbox changes status:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>if the checkbox is checked, show the premium options, see if one of the non-premium options is selected, select the corresponding premium option, and hide the non-premium options, or</li>
  <li>if the checkbox is not checked, show the non-premium options, see if one of the premium options is selected, select the corresponding non-premium option, and hide the premium options.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The result will be a single membership type, so it's easy to maintain, report, etc.  However, from the member's perspective, the experience is one of an add-on rather than navigating among a bunch of options.</p>

Comments.Text: What do you mean by "premium option" in the context of having options in the dropdown?  What do people get from the premium option?  It would be helpful to know if the premium option is just a way to donate more (like a "contributing" member) or whether it's another set of benefits/services.

  This could be done by creating a price set with the premium option, and then using the civicrm\_post hook to make the change once the transaction was successfully completed in the DB.

  Pretty much the only things you can do without coding are by setting up a price set with two fields. The first field would be the membership types in a select or radio list.

  If you wanted to track an extra set of benefits, you might create another membership type with a different [membership organization](http://book.civicrm.org/user/current/membership/defining-memberships/) and tie the checkbox to that. The membership organization indicates that it's not an alternative to the main membership but rather a membership that you can hold simultaneously with the other one. It'll make your life more complex in some ways, but you'll be able to quickly see who's got the premium membership.
