Indianajonze 379 Posted March 2, 2016 If you have a membership already - https://www.nra2016.org/signin/?utm_source=membercard&utm_medium=email-fu1&utm_campaign=email-fu6-life That link is for the $500 lifetime. Haven't seen the $300 this cycle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,872 Posted March 2, 2016 That link is for the $500 lifetime. Haven't seen the $300 this cycle I don't think you will again. I got it back in December when they had it up for a very short time. $500 is still a deal. I'm tempted to pay the extra $200 to become an endowment member.... I have until Saturday for that...

I'm tempted to pay the extra $200 to become an endowment member.... I have until Saturday for that...I hit the top level years ago, then they came up with the Ring of Honor level. The recent deal was for a membership and a cordura backpack for $500. They got to do better than that. Sent from an undisclosed location via Tapatalk.

Is there anywhere on the site that details what the various levels are and what benefits they offer? If I just took advantage of the lifetime for $500 for example, what does endowment offer or ring of honor offer over that? NRA is shockingly thin on details regarding this. Also, at what level are you allowed to vote? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From my google search: Endowment, Patron and Benefactor members are eligible to vote in NRA elections, receive special recognition at NRA events, and are sent credentials including a certificate suitable for framing, a lapel pin, a decal, a patch, and a new membership card so you can proudly display your membership status.

njpilot 671 Posted March 4, 2016 My American Rifleman magazine comes with a ballot. Does everyone get the ballot and they only count the ones for those who can vote or do they send them to only those who can vote? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To get the ballot you need 5 year continuous if yearly, life or higher. Otherwise no ballot in the March issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TR20 47 Posted March 4, 2016 I got in during February before the deadline. Glad they extended it for those who may have missed the original offer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise no ballot in the March issue. ah ok. that makes sense i guess. what if you opt for the digital subscription? is a ballot mailed to you? anyway, i didn't become a life member to vote. $500 is a heck of a deal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candyman87 10 Posted March 31, 2016 Finally made my last payment about two weeks ago. Today, my account reads Life Member. I'm a happy dude. Now time to send my usual contributions to the ILA instead of membership. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
