I upgraded to a Life Member back when they had their Millenuim offer in 2000, for something like $500 for an existing member. After two or three years, they just changed it to Extended Pay Life, and started sending me bills. I questioned them, but didn't have my records to prove it (credit card bills were gone after a year, it was on a card that I no longer had, everything wasn't online like now), and I just didn't feel like doing all of the legwork, so let it drop. Funny, my magazine labels, etc, said "Life" for a couple years, then all of a suden I wasn't? They eventually dropped my magazine, etc, and I just let it go. I knew they had my money, hoped they put it to good use, and that was good enough for me.
But, I'm interested in trying again. More so than giving them more money (not a bad thing), I'm feeling the need to boost the membership numbers in a voting year. OK, I'm now in the elite group that holds TWO life memberships (thanks TwoTrax!).  Just re-upped, again...

I asked while on the phone, due to conflicting info on this thread. He said that originally it was till 15Jan, then they extended it till 15Feb (today, the Wed referred to somewhere in this thread), and have extended it again until 02Mar, like also mentioned. So there are still a couple weeks for guys to get in. BTW, he initially said "So how would you like to pay the $600?". I said I thought it was $300, with a "sponsor", to which he said yes it is. So it sounds like anybody can join for $600, which is already a deal, but even better this way. I hope they get a ton of new members, and that those in DC take notice.

Well I did it! Used my son's (Life) for sponsorship. I'll bet I'm the oldest here to convert to Life Membership. Had to lie on year of birth; the selection only went to 1943 & I was born in 1938!!!!!!!!!! Glad to support.

Had to lie on year of birth; the selection only went to 1943 & I was born in 1938!!!!!!!!!! Glad to support. Current automated records, I was told, go back only to 2000. I asked when I became a Life Member (sometime between 1964 and 1968) and they couldn't tell me. Not sure that I can find that member card that I packed away two moves ago. The new cards are undated except for those with an expiration date.

Question for all you lifers. Do they still sent you all that crap in the mail that the yearly folks are flooded with?
