$300 NRA Life Membership?

[Kilowatt3]

Hi All,

I've seen several references online to a limited-time offer of an NRA Lifetime membership for $300. My membership expires tomorrow, so I need to find out about this! It apparently requires "sponsorship" of a current Life Member.

Can anyone confirm or refute this? If it's legit, I need a sponsor, quick!

Regards,
Jim

Yeah, call the NRA. In the automated attendant, you choose the "life member" option, which I believe is 3. You'll probably be on hold for a while but once you get a person, just tell them you have a sponsor and you want to sign up to become a life member. They should know about the $300 offer, so there should be no issues. There's a thread with a whole bunch of sponsors information. If you can't find it, PM me and I'll sponsor you.

I just used Scott (OneMoreGoodGuy) as my sponsor. They said the plan (a new plan) just started today. I was on hold for about 45 minutes and now I am a life time member. The said it will really take about two weeks to get the number/package. I am ashamed to say I let my membership expire years ago. I couldn't see my way clear for $1,000 right but thought I could do better then $25 installments.

Thanks Scott

Is the new "plan" different from the old "plan"?

Scott,

Thanks! I appreciate your offer. It turns out that I ended up using another forum member as my sponsor, but my life membership is now a done deal!

BTW - For the benefit of any others planning to use this opportunity for a Life Membership, be sure that you make it clear from the start that you have a current Life Member sponsoring you for the discounted membership!

When I first called, the lady I spoke to was insistent that the $300 Life Membership offer was good only for Seniors (65+) and Veterans. I am neither (quite yet). It was not until I specifically brought up the fact that a Life Member had offered to sponsor me that she acknowledged that I would qualify. The conversation was a little confusing at first, but we got it all sorted out!

I am now in the process of encouraging everyone I know (who's not already a member) to join the NRA. In three days, I should be able to sponsor new Life Memberships myself!

Regards,
Jim

Someone in another thread said they were having trouble and had been turned down multiple times. Guess everyone needs to read your post and be ready to try more than once if they get an uninformed rep taking their request.

I just got off the phone with NRA membership services. The attendant I spoke with would not process my request, said the actual lifetime member has to be on the line, making the request. He said they saw that some lifetime members had posted their name and membership number online and had upwards of 300-400 members they had sponsored. SMH!

Dang Scott, you really got 'em stirred up!

This is an open invitation for anyone who wants to become a Life Member of the NRA and is being told repeatedly that they need to have the sponsor on the phone.

Just call back and select option 3 and tell them you have a sponsor and give them your sponsor's Life Member number. If you call a couple of times and they still tell you that you need to have the sponsor on the phone just PM me and we will set up a time to do a conference call.

Before we set up a conference call, try calling the NRA first. The first post in this thread has all the information you need $300 Friends and Family NRA Membership Sponsorship Information

Some people have been told that they need to have the sponsor on the phone to get the $300 deal. If that happens, try calling back later. Some of the NRA operators might be unfamiliar with how to handle your type of call. Most people who have encountered this problem have called back and got the $300 after speaking with a different operator. Try calling them a few times and if you are unable to get the $300 special, PM me and we will set up a time to do the conference call.

Yeah, I'm thinking about that as well. If folks can proficiently use three way calling, I could help them get their membership.

Generous offer, Scott! You may have your hands full!

Thanks for helping so many folks!
