$300 NRA life membership

I got the $175 Endowment Member deal and now they just sent me an offer for Patron Membership for $250. I understand they are trying to raise money, but I have mixed feelings about it, since it sorta cheapens these "high level" memberships. Patron Membership would normally be $1500. I guess if I had bought a Patron memberhship in the past, I might be sorta peeved that they are selling them for 80% off.
___I just did the same, but have not seen offer of Patron Membership, "yet", however some of the patches, emblems they sent with my Endowment package were labeled Patron.

Some years back when they had some other deal going I purchasd a Life membership for my son. He wound up in law school, a private one at that so dad did not have too much for a long time for donations, elevated memberships, new guns, anything, but am starting to recover._______________
 
I got the same thing. I was wondering about the lack of the mention of "Life Member" on it.

I suspect they just ran out of all the regular material. A friend of mine bought the Endowment Member upgrade at the lower price and he got the same kind of post card, and a couple of days later another postcard saying that a jacket he was supposed to get was also backordered.

Which is a good sign I guess, means lots of people are signing up for this.
 
If you are concerned then log on to the NRA web site and see what your membership type is. If it says "Life - Active" then you're all set.

Sometime next week you should get a large envelope with a "Life Member" certificate and a new card, pin, etc...
I received the same post card, followed by the material that I mentioned.

I believe we get new membership numbers now..so I don't know what to check yet.
Nope... Your membership number will stay the same and your status will be updated, online, to "Life"
 
If I get a lifetime membership does it stop the mail I get every other week begging me to renew RIGHT NOW, regardless of what time of year it is?
 
Sorry I missed this...hoping that the NRA does another "fund drive" sooner rather than later.
 
Noone has stated this yet... but is the "fund drive" still going on?

I realize that it had an expiration date of 2/15/08, but has anyone called to check if they will still do the $300.00 offer anyways?

You can call the NRA and "opt out" of their mailings and you will not get any of the solicitations. 1-800-672-3888
 
I called a couple days ago to thank the woman that had been so helpful. I asked about when the NRA might do this again, She said it was typically around the holidays. It was extended this time, because of the elections. But it is over for now.

I hope it can be set up again so it's easy to play sponsor & signing up is nothing more than a phone call. But she said somebody had apparently done some sort of an open post on the internet & they were swamped. Not that being swamped with new Life Members is a bad thing. But they were not prepared for it. So they "may" put some sort of restrictions in place next time around.

There is apparently no trail to my membership number, that shows who I sponsored when done by phone. I'd asked, because I was curious about the "real" total. For all that joined by phone, I hope there has been no issues & you're getting some notification that verifies the membership. For those that mailed checks & personal info ( before the phone option was set up ), I do have a paper trail there. So if you're one of those folks, and are having any issues, fell free to contact me, and we'll see if we can't get it straightened out.

TuCkerdog1, got my notification today. I AM A LIFE MEMBER THANKS TO YOU.
If NRA does this again, I'll try to pass your favor onto the next group by sponsoring them.

Likewise, I am ready to renew and for $300 Ill snap up a life membership. I am going to subscribe to this thread, so someone please post if they do it again for Christmas.
 
I'd hoped to hear from the NRA about being able to add more folks around mid August. But so far, nothing. This last offer was only good for 1 person. Hope the next is a little more open. But I still have a list of about a dozen that got in line when this 1st came up. If I get a restricted number again, I'll work my way through that list in order. With the lousy economy, some might not be able to take advantage next go around.

If other Lifers get the offer, don't toss it in the trash. Help somebody get on for life.
