Sorry to those that replied, I did not see this until now, I must have over looked them.

Now you would have to store some info into the DB in order to do this. First, the original group they were in, and then their userid, so they can not click on the button again.

IMO I think it would be more hassle to code it than it would be worth.

That all depends on what it would be worth to have it done.

Yes, I know of that addon/edit, but that's not the same as having full premium usergroup access to the site and all the functions the premium usergroup has to offer.
Giving a guest this type of temporary access instead of an image to see what they would get if they were to become a premium member would imo help gain more premium members thus creating more income.

You could setup a fake version of the site, HTML demo.. It wouldn't work, but would give them a better idea than a screenshot, or talking about it.

I have done this... A great deal of work and a huge pain in the Keaster... still not the same and imo looks generic...
