Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I just upgraded to NRA Life Membership. Instead of the standard $1500, I will pay $500, spread out at $25 per month. Why not? www.nra2016.org LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Once upon a time the cost of a life membership was $750 and the next three upgrades were $750 each. Endowment, Patron, Benefactor. I called the NRA ready to drop another 750 and move up one step. I was told there was a discount in effect where each step as only 200, and I was asked if I would like to take advantage of the offer and spend $200. Since I was already prepared to drop $750, I said I would take all three upgrades for $600 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Nelson Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 There is a second payment method......... $25.00 per QUARTER! I should live so long. (I know, it's only 5 years.) I just went ahead and paid it all in one lump. Buy once, cry once. Got a nice book bag out of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird 61147 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Not that it's a big deal but they also charge a handling fee on your easy pay monthly payment. Mine is $1.06 per month. FYI. My $500 life membership will cost $521.20 when paid off. Something not disclosed when signing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungannon Gunner Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Congratulations! I too have taken advantage of last years discounts and am now at the Benefactor level.. I sure wish SASS would take notice and come up with some new ideas around Life and/or other membership levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Life memberships for an organization like SASS are a losing proposition. Well... I'm glad the Kid and I got ours a dozen or more years ago... At the last EOT in California, I introduced the Kid to the Judge. As the Judge shook the Kid's hand, he looked at the lad's gold badge and said "Well, it sure looks like you're gonna get your money's worth out of US!" To which the Kid replied: "Yessir. I reckon so." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Life memberships for an organization like SASS are a losing proposition. I disagree Bob, first of all not everyone would do it and second the influx of cash from those who did would be very helpful. I'd say if they lowered it to say..$500.00 that would be manageable for some but not everyone so they would still be getting their yearly dues from most shooters. At $65.00 a year that would come to roughly 8 years of regular dues. Just MHO. Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I became a life member while still a child. After a couple years of annual membership, at 16 or 17 I decided I wanted a Lifetime membership just so I wouldn't have to bother sending a check every year (I was paying for it all myself out of my lawn mowing money). At the time they had a Junior Life option for I think $100, and an easy pay life option for full price, but you could spread it out. I called them up and they combined the two into a Junior Easy Pay Life. I think I paid $10 per quarter till it was paid off. Sometimes when I'm thinking about that (like right now) I feel guilty that I'm not sending them enough money. Guess I'll head over to NRA.com and see what kind of fundraisers they got going on.
