Paying Dues in Installments

¾«¶«´«Ã½

Personal members may choose to pay in two equal installments when joining or renewing with a credit or debit card. Please note that contributions to ¾«¶«´«Ã½scholarships and endowment funds are not eligible for the installment plan.

Here’s how it works:

  • Join or renew .
  • Use a valid credit or debit card with an expiration date later than the end of the sixth month of that year’s membership.
  • The first installment will be charged upon completion of your transaction. The second installment will be charged around the fifteenth day of the sixth month of your membership year.
  • A $1.50 service charge will added to each installment.
  • If your installment payment fails, ¾«¶«´«Ã½will attempt to contact you via email and the telephone number you provided to secure an alternate form of payment. If you have changed/updated your credit/debit card information, please be sure to contact us at 800-545-2433.
  • If ¾«¶«´«Ã½cannot charge your second installment by the end of the sixth month, your ¾«¶«´«Ã½membership(s) will be canceled.
