Extending memberships is relatively convoluted. Right now we need people to "lie" about their start date, and say that they started a year after they really did. This is both unintuitive and could make our users feel bad.

We should handle this somehow.

One possibility would be a rewrite of the system in OW. Perhaps looking at changing from start date to expected end date instead.

Another possibility, that doesn't require big changes on the OW side, would be to make a button that does the lying for the user. The system would need to have information about the current membership and send a request that applies for the same membership, but with the shifted start date.
