I'm just looking at booking a rail ticket from Madrid and registering on the Renfe website gives 3 options for 'membership' seems to be that the top tier is free and has several benefits over the lower tiers. Am I missing something, looks like there's no reason to sign up with the lower tiers ?

Any advice ?

 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-

I just book the cheapest ticket and if I have flexibility I wait until I get to Spain and buy a Tarjeta Dorada and get discounted train trips.

Thanks for replying @Anniesantiago this for for setting up an account on the Renfe website before buying a ticket. I have to select one of three options above but don't really understand why the 2 lower tiers are there and if there's any reason why I should choose one of them.
 
Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I have an account, but can't tell you what level. Probably the middle one since I can manage tickets for others. The top tier you may get more email notifications. I don't get any from Renfe.
 
Each tier pretty much explains itself to me. I guess I don't understand your question.
 
I get what you mean, seems odd. Are you sure there's no charge when you select it? Otherwise it's a bit of a weird no brainer.
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
It's most likely related to the amount of personal information you might need to provide
