We allow members to bring a guest for $10 a day. However we do not allow walk ups to buy visitor passes.
I've brought friends that were considering joining. One got a free week pass, the other a free day pass (different front desk people). Both joined. I have another friend who went as a guest with her boyfriend and they left her go for free a few times before she joined.
Sorry. Don't know the answer. I'm a member since April. Got a free pass from a friend before I joined.
