$300 NRA Life memberships

[Mgderf]

Well, I thought this promotion was long ago past, but I had an Ingo'er pm me and request that I sponsor him.

I told them I would try, but I didn't know if the offer was still valid. I gave him my info. and he called the NRA. They told him that I had to call, and pay, and then he could pay me back.

I pm'ed said Ingo'er with the requirements. He said he would send me a Postal money order for the membership. I received the money order today.
Called the NRA customer service about 5:30pm, and by 5:45pm we have another new NRA Life member.

It was just that easy, and they said nothing about ending this promotion.

Between this, and a couple of other boards, I've now been able to sponsor a dozen new Life members! I'll gladly sponsor more if you don't know another Life member.

If you were ever thinking of joining the "Lifer" ranks, I'd suggest you find a Life member to sponsor you for the "Legacy Life" membership.
It carries all the benefits of every other Life membership, but it's only $300!
My Life membership cost me $1k 10 years ago!

Can any Life Member sponsor someone or does it have to be a member whose dues are fully paid?

THIS is great info! I've been looking for the cheap way to sign up OkieGirl.

Should be a sticky somewhere..

Good question. I would guess they will require a fully paid Life membership, but I could be mistaken. I did NOT stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

I may be naive, but what benefits does a life member have that an annual member does not?

Is it just cheaper when dues are spread out over 10+ years? Or are there real, tangible things that you are entitled to?

I've been an annual member for 4 years or so, I kind of like re-upping every year and getting the bag, hat, knife, other promotional item.

To be honest, the only benefit I know of is bragging rights. That, and at this years NRA convention in St. Louis, us "Lifers" had front section center seating.

I'm interested in doing this. Anyone interested in "sponsoring" me, please PM. I'm 48, and I understand it's supposed to be an "older" lifetime member "nominating" a "younger" new member. I've always wanted to join NRA... anyone who's willing to help with this around Indy face-to-face, I'll be glad to make a new shooting friend. Same may apply for my brother, cbhausen.

I just received an offer by mail to upgrade from patron life member to benefactor life member for 350 dollars. The usual price for the upgrade is 1500 dollars. Sounds like a deal I can't pass up.

I would be interested in upgrading my NRA Memebership to the life member if the cost was only $300. Does anyone know if you can upgrade for that price?

Good information, I have been a life member since (I think) 1994, my youngest son is also a life member - same year. I wasn't aware of the promotion. I would be happy to sponsor anyone around the Frankfort, Lebanon, Lafayette area.

I've sponsored new and current members for the $300 Life memberships.
Yes, a current member can upgrade to Life status for $300, as long as they are sponsored by another life member.

If you call yourself, as a current annual member, and want to upgrade to a Life membership, I believe they are going to ask for more than the $300.
