I placed a call on the 11th. I still had 2 years to go with my annual membership, they can keep it as a donation, I'm a full life member now as is one of my Airmen who jumped on the moral phone like a fat kid on a cupcake.
My CC has been charged and showes as NRA*MEMBERSHIP $300 with a transaction date of 1/14 and a post date of 1/15.
I'm deployed right now, prices for gun stuff is stupid high and I've been waiting for an opportunity to join for life at the $300 rate. The stars aligned and I made the jump. Will you join US!?!
I should also say this, I waited on hold for 38 minutes after calling the normal care line. I didn't have my current member ID number handy since I left my card 7000 miles away.
