NRA sent me a check

[Tootall]

Almost threw away the envelope till i saw it said check enclosed on the front. So being the frugal (see cheap) person i am i bit and opened it up. Turns out its a "check" for $400 off a Life Membership. Looks like im gonna take the jump and sign up for EPL and take the $400 discount.

Just wanted to put this out there because i know most of you are like me and just chuck most of the few 100 pieces of NRA "reminders" you get during the year


Anyone else get this yet?

I got it too. I love the NRA but you still need to send $650 correct?

EPL (easy pay life) is $25 a quarter if memory serves me.

Thats what is was when I did my Life Membership.....

The check I got in the mail was for $700 towards an Endowment Membership, you just have to pay the remainder.....which i can remember what that was

 

[hvymax]

I got that too. $400 off of $1000 life membership. I sent mine back telling them I went in over my head contributing to the 2A foundation so I cannot afford to upgrade my membership at this time.

Nope, but I got a "free video" to watch and send back or buy.... They're really flooding up my mailbox.

I need to look out for this one, especially if it can be combined with easy pay life.


Also, check out https://www.nravalidate.org/Offer.aspx
Input your info and it may offer you a break. It's offering me a $500 life membership.. If you're already life, it may offer you the next level (Endowment, Benefactor, Patron) at a discount.

nope just an extra $25 bucks in a separate check and u can do EPL with this one. that's what enticed me that i didnt have to drop the extra 600 right now. I have 90 days to mail it back to em so it'll go back with next pay

I would personally rather continue to be a yearly member. That way the NRA knows if they mess up they may lose your support. Once you're a life time member they have no incentive to please you.

I got that too - man that stuff pisses me off. I wrote a nasty note on the return envelope. I need to contact them to stop sending me junk.

I bought a life membership for $300 as part of a promotion they were running a couple years ago. I did that for the good it will do in letting our national legislators know the size of the population they're pissing off. But I'll send no more money to the NRA. SAF & MSI will be getting all my extra cash for the foreseeable future.

 

[dwnthehatch]

I only paid $300 for my life membership as well. I spent another $300 a year later to become an Endowment Member. I even got 2 Bowie knifes for it.

Oh yes they do. While once you are a life member they can continue to use you as a number on their rolls forever, this does not pay the bills. Imagine if everyone got a life membership and then never sent another dollar to them. They would go tango uniform pretty quick. They have to keep everyone happy so they will continue to send money. Life members don't pay membership dues but they do send donations if they choose to. Don't think that many life members never send any more money to them. If that was the case life memberships would never be offered.

I wish I had that discount when I went the easy pay route. At least it was still at $750 when I did.

if they're sending you videos, keep 'em or sell 'em on ebay.

you are under NO obligation to return or pay for them. you didn't solicit them to send it to you, therefore they can't force you to return it or pay for it.

x2 i got a dvd from them once and it was mine to keep and review. if i wanted more i could return a card to start a subscription. still got my free one somewhere

 

[GrumpyOlBasterd]

I don't know why but I always seem to miss out on these opportunities. I haven't gotten a check or free swag. All I got was a letter from Wayne wanting to know if I would be willing to pony up the $600 I owned on my EPL at one shot.

 

[CrabbyMcNab]

I recieved a video to try for free and under no obligation. I decided to keep it and they HOUNDED me to return the video or send money to join the video club. It was a pain in the arse. I think i eventually sent the video back in their payment envelope without the case so it would fit. It wasn't very good to begin with.

i always hear tons of folks complain about the stuff they get from the NRA, i find it rather silly that you refuse to use the opt out option for receiving solicitations from the NRA, and then complain that they receive solicitations.

i dont receive a whole lot from the NRA, dunno why some of you do.

i did get a DVD once, called 10 guns that changed the world, it was free for me to keep, or i had the option to sign up to receive more for a subscription fee.

I have never opted out of anything from the NRA and I also never seem to get much from them. I feel left out.
