Alabama21, I can't speak for cvharley but I can tell you that I don't think they are "turning you down" it's just that they don't seem to (apparently) all be on the 'same page' in terms of the Life Membership for $300 Plan. Honestly, I've been a Lifer for ten years now and I have never heard of such a thing (previously the lowest Life Membership I have seen offered was the periodic Christmas-time $500 special). I agree with you though that there does not seem to be a 'clearly defined Life Membership $300 'advertised' Plan available and honestly I can not believe it's still in effect--that said, as long as it's there let's do it!

I would also welcome the opportunity to change my current NRA membership to a lifetime membership. I just donated $100 to the ILA but I don't think that's enough given today's environment. Merry Christmas to all THR members

Are there any special deals on Endowment, Patron and Benefactor Memberships?

mountainpharm · December 21, 2012, 02:16 PM

I can now be counted among the NRA Life Members -- thanks to PT92 and longknife12 for providing their info!

FYI: I waited on hold over 30 minutes to speak to someone; it didn't bother me at all -- I hope that is a VERY good sign, in fact!

Thanks again

i'll try calling tonight.

I don't agree with some of what was said today from the NRA, but I can get behind the majority of their plans, and that's good enough for me.

wriggly · December 21, 2012, 05:43 PM

I too would llike to become a life member, if anyone can PM the info, I would be eternally grateful.

mike.h · December 21, 2012, 06:30 PM

I'll be more then happy to step up to the plate and upgrade my menbership.

Info needed, thanks

I upgraded from Life to Endowment for $250 earlier this year. They send out the offer every spring just before the NRA Annual Meeting. It also gave me better seating at the Annual Meeting events.

Yosemite Sam · December 21, 2012, 07:21 PM

Hey everyone! I haven't been on THR all year. I volunteered the last 3 years for this, and I sure as heck will do whatever I can in a time like this. Is the $300 deal being sponsored over the phone this time? That's a LOT easier than the past where I had everyone mail me checks.

Is there anything I can do to help on THR?

Jakemedic · December 21, 2012, 07:41 PM

Mission Accomplished. Thanks, I appreciate the assistance. First call wanted me to have the "life member" call in and recommend me for the deal. Second caller was happy to take the info and make me a life member!! Thanks again PT.92! Now I need to change my signature. Nice problem to have.

Great to hear Yosemite Sam!

All a prospective member needs for this deal (I'm told) is:

1) Life member's #
2) Zipcode
3) Name

trying now. wondering if I'll make the 9pm cutoff listed on the web site.

sota · December 21, 2012, 08:52 PM

done!

Gtscotty · December 22, 2012, 10:13 AM

Is the 9 pm cutoff for the NRA phone system, or for the $300 life membership deal? I have about 2.5 years left on my latest 3 year membership, but if the $300 life membership opportunity is still available, I think this would be the perfect time for me to take the plunge.

TexasRedneck · December 22, 2012, 10:18 AM

9 pm is the call-in time for member services - the $300 deal has not been discontinued - don't know that it ever will be.

Call 'em, folks - some folks need to understand that there's a LOT of us out here that care, vote - and WILL NEVER FORGET.

cvoharley · December 22, 2012, 10:47 AM

Some people have had luck signing up with this website:

www.nra-2013.org

PM me if you need more information.

Gtscotty · December 22, 2012, 10:47 AM

Excellent! Is there anyone that would be willing to pm me then info I need to sign up for the life membership? I'd be highly appreciative, and the NRA would be $300 richer.

Gtscotty · December 22, 2012, 10:53 AM

Hmmm, that website seems to be running a $600 life membership deal...

Adrenolin · December 22, 2012, 03:55 PM

OK after calling 7 times between last night and today I finally got a lady to sign me up! Once I received my membership number and paid we started to talk a bit for a few minutes. I mentioned to her that I had called 6 times prior to this call and had been told on each call that the sponsor had to call in for sign someone up. She couldn't believe this and wanted a bit more information regarding times and if I remembered any of the peoples names who told me this. I supplied her with rough times and 4 of the names I had written down. She said she was going to take that information to her supervisor and figured that all the call center agents would be updated about this program. Hopefully this works for others who will be calling in!

btw.. thanks to PT92 for his info and I was asked to say thank you on behalf of the NRA for sponsoring others in.
