$300 NRA life membership - Page 7

homers · January 18, 2012, 09:46 PM

If the deadline has been extended is true and there is anybody wanting to take advantage of the deal, please feel free to PM me.

Gmack · January 19, 2012, 04:17 AM

Folks, I've tried three times, and each time the rep on the other end of the phone says "your sponsor (whose endowment number I'm trying to use) has to call to set up your new lifetime membership". I understand quite a few people have been successful with this...any suggestions?

longknife12 · January 19, 2012, 06:20 AM

Try a different number 1 888 672-3888 and follow the prompts. This appears to be working better for some.

Gmack, I first called 877 NRA-2012 and found they were acting like that number was to renew membership or something like that. So, I then called 1 888 672-3888, then 1 and 2 just like Acera mentioned (you probably should pay attention in the menus being called out by nagging Nancy); the people in the that number were much more knowledgeable.

I started my conversation with "I want to apply for the $300 life membership and have the NRA membership number and name for a current life member who is sponsoring me." After that we were in business.

dmazur · January 20, 2012, 01:20 PM

I can also confirm that NRA seems to categorize you as "renew" rather than the life membership offer, until you ask several times to speak with someone who knows about the program.

I believe it was "Life Member Services" who eventually helped me.

ebm1973 · January 21, 2012, 12:15 PM

I'm interested in taking advantage of the $300 life membership if anyone is willing to act as my sponsor?

Thanks!
Eric

hoghog · January 21, 2012, 01:22 PM

I am also interested in becoming a lifetime member. Would someone sponser me so I can take advantage of the $300 offer.

Thanks,

darrin

What are the requirements for sponsorship?

-Cheers

hoghog · January 22, 2012, 02:29 AM

This is what someone provided me today and I was able to sign up. If someone else needs a sponser the belowinfo if is what you need to provide them.

Thanks,

Go to www.nra-2012.org
life member ID xxxxxxxxxx
life member zip is 12345
life member email address is myemail@email.com

raubvogel · January 22, 2012, 08:23 AM

That might be even more convenient.

Now, I wonder if *any* life members can sponsor others or just some that were told so.

homers · January 23, 2012, 09:50 PM

The offer has been extended by the NRA until March 2.

So, again I will assist those who want to become NRA life members for $300.

I make this offer to THR members who have not signed up only to take advantage of the $300 offer. If you've been a THR member for some time, have a decent number of posts (ie. you've been contributing to this great forum), then feel free to PM me and I'll help you out.

After PM exchanges, you can either call 877-NRA-2012 or 800.672.3888 number, press 1, then 2 or if you prefer I can sign you up via the NRA website.

That's the method that I used on Jan 4. I received my life membership package yesterday.

Many thanks to Longknife for sponsoring me.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to publicly thank homers for his patience in helping me successfully navigate through the process. I'm a life member now because of his help. The $300 charge has shown up on my credit card and I am looking forward to getting my Life Member certificate in the mail soon.

This is a great opportunity. I've wanted to be a life member for the last 30 years and now I have finally made that wish a reality. Thanks again for your help.

trex1310 · January 24, 2012, 07:19 PM

OK, thanks to homers I am now a life member of the NRA.
The number you need to call is 800-672-3888 and tell the nice
lady you want to enroll in the $300 NRA life membership. An
earlier post gave the number with an 888 area code.

PT92 · January 24, 2012, 07:27 PM

Hands down, I would challenge anyone to find a more important thread on THR.

Congrats to both all who have helped enroll new members and to the new Lifers themselves!

ebm1973 · January 24, 2012, 11:27 PM

Still looking for a sponsor.

Eric,

PM sent

ebm1973 · January 25, 2012, 11:54 AM

Thanks to Homers, I'm now a new life member of the NRA!
Thank you!!!
I called 1-800-672-3888 and they told me it's easier to call direct at 1-703-267-1000.
I called that number and after a wait they transferred me to the life member dept.
From there it was pretty easy.

Thanks again!
Eric

longknife12 · January 25, 2012, 08:57 PM

Several of you are doing this on line.....in case it is still needed, my Zip is 80128....

So have any of the checks started to clear?

Lilrascal · January 26, 2012, 08:25 PM

Mine has not cleared as of yet. Though not in a real big hurry since my yearly membership does not expire until sometime in summer.

Hawk88 · January 27, 2012, 01:50 PM

I signed up last year and on the payment plan. Wonder if they will upgrade me?

ihctractor · January 27, 2012, 06:50 PM

I called my membership in on the 9th, my credit card was billed on the 11th and I received my life membership packet on the 26th. Not bad!

I will be framing the certificate and hanging it beside my U.S. Army Honorable Discharge.
Thanks again Longknife!!!

MO_mule · January 28, 2012, 05:17 PM

Kindly Sponsors (longknife12, homers, Yosemite Sam):

Many thanks for making this available to us. I checked my profile and I am now a Lifer! Yippee! Next year, I hope to become a sponsor (if they send me the paperwork or e-paperwork).

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Chris

boatanchor · January 28, 2012, 07:07 PM

Please PM me if you would be willing to sponsor me for a lifetime membership.

Thanks,
