receives distinctive benefits


Explanation:
Maybe they're talking about "éléments de distinctions" like maybe someone gets a rank in the club, and Mr Peacock gets his "éléments de distinctions" in the form of a peacock hat that he has to wear at all member functions or something. But probably not, and its just referring to member benefits.

Perhaps there's a better way for your situation, but this is quite likely to be appropriate.

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: I'm not sure, but it reads to me more as though "distinction" (singular?) means "prestige" rather than something distinctive.//Your suggestion employs a rare (in UK) meaning of "distinctive", and this is about supposedly prestigious m'ship paraphanelia.

  -> The benefits could be anything, including simply the "distinction" or "prestige" of being a member. Looking at the language, I share your concern. But in context, I'm pretty sure it's just a fancy way to say "your free stuff and discounts begin".
agree  AllegroTrans: or prestigious advantages
18 mins
  -> Following Nikki's perspective, that would be better. However is it the "pretigious advantage" of box seats at Knicks games or free golf before noon year-round? In the second case, simple member benefits I think is the idea.

professional/corporate visibility


Explanation:
We just don't have anything near enough context here. We don't know whether the member is an individual or a company. We don't know whether the typical member is a bank clerk or a high-flying executive. Above all we don't know what kind of club this is. The asker must have some idea from the rest of the document.

will receive symbols of membership


Explanation:
Your client's suggested "distinction items" is, obviously a non-starter. "Distinctions" should, I think, be "distinction", i.e. things that mark the user out as special (both to themselves and others) because of their membership of the club. So, their purpose is symbolic.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thanks you for the link. The problem that I have is that I am looking for the right term to use in my context, not the context of clinical trials. Therefore, I do not think I am "restarting" the same discourse at all.
