New info on $300 NRA lifetime membership

[TRWXXA]

Don't get me wrong, I like the NRA and everything they stand for. But why do I get renewal notices six months before my membership runs out? I got one yesterday and my membership is good until August.

Every organization I have ever belonged to does that -- AOPA, EAA, SSA, AAA, etc.. Not sure why, but it seems pretty universal.

NRA life packet showed up in snail mail on Saturday

Yup - got my packet finally Friday. Took about two months, but I've got it and 300 bucks is a great deal.

 

[srad]

good to know. I was thinking I haven't gotten anything showing I am good to go for lifetime membership. I signed up at the 'last minute' on Feb 28th when I thought it was about to end. Regardless...I'll wait until Mid-May to get worried. They charged my card...so I better be a lifetime member!

So, is everyone still seeing @ 2 mos. wait. Did the Lifetime thing on 2/27. Still waiting and can't even log into services with my memb. #. ?????

Should be anytime. I did mine on 2/1 and got my packet about a month ago. I've logged into the website and it does list the upgrade to lifetime.

I joined (Life member) on the 6th of March, got a voting packet for choosing directors about two weeks later. My member number was on the address label. I got my first magazine issue last week.

Awesome.

I finally got my packet a few weeks ago. I would say it took about 2 months. I did get the voting packet and magazine before my actual membership packet arrived.

They do this every now and then through various approaches - I got my $300 life membership a few years ago through my wife's grandfather, also a life member, sponsoring me for it. Definitely don't pay $1k for it.

I'd just renewed for a year, too, at the time (the range I belonged to, in Washington state at the time, required membership), so I wanted to get that refunded. I called the NRA and they said they couldn't refund it but I could do a charge back through my credit card (their idea). I did that, and it worked fine.

I did the $300 life upgrade on 2/29 and got my packet today. And included a survey and wanting me to spend $300 more to make a family member a lifetimer as well. Guess they are still doing the offer.

Just read a piece on Townhall that La Pierre announced 5 million members strong now at the end of the Shot Show. That's a lot of political clout.

Initial sign-up for $300 life membership (not an upgrade or renewal) on March 6. Got my packet on Saturday. Two days shy of 8 weeks. Decal looks good on my truck.

 

[cordex]

Signed up 2/26, got my packet 5/4.

 

[andski3]

Finally received my packet on Saturday, appled 2/28.

 

[hammer24]

Got my packet this afternoon!

 

[nakinate]

I am ignorant on this. What are the benefits/advantages of being an NRA member?

 

[Scout]

Just over two months and nothing yet...

Just over two months and nothing yet...

Indiana Code mandates that a LTCH be denied within 60 days, or issued, yet we are seeing waits well in excess of what the law permits.

You WILL receive your lapel pin and bylaws, grasshopper.
