New NRA Member

[sj kahr k40]

I recently rejoined the NRA and I haven't received my membership card yet, can I just show up to register without it and they can look me up? Or do I need to call the NRA and get my number?

I am having the same issue. I called the NRA and they emailed me a printable copy of my membership. They said it will work just like the member card. They were very helpful and friendly.

Thanks, I'll call them tomorrow

They are not speedy quick with getting stuff mailed out. Remember, they are a lobby not club. You join so that they have your money to use toward preventing loss of the 2A. They are basically in perpetual fund raising mode. Every other encounter you have with them is incidental. Keep that in mind and you won't be disappointed. I recently upgraded to Patron. They need our support in order to support us. Kudos on joining!

I renewed 3-4 weeks ago and asked the question, what to do if I do not have my card (since my membership expired last year they were not sure if my number would change):

They said if you do not receive your card/number call and they will provide it (assuming you gave them a week or so), that all you need to register on-site is your member number.

I called a week or two later and found out my member number did not change; then registered my family on-line (received a week later admission tickets; pieces of cardboard without name or any specific to me information). With these fold out cards, they said to by-pass registration and enter the expo directly.

At this point, it is probably too late to join by phone or email but you can join on-site and register. Normal fee is now $35, generally specials for $25 (I rejoined for 5 years at $125; someone else said they heard of a 5 year special for $100?).

Lines to register might be long Saturday on-site, maybe shorter earlier on Friday (generally conventions you can register the day/night before on-site - tomorrow?). I will find out how it works on Friday.

I just got membership a week or two ago. They emailed pretty quickly (like around 10 days) that included my member number, which is all you need to register for this event. The mail package didn't come until some time later. Might check your email again?!?

I signed up a couple weeks back and received a package from them, but no card. My ID number is on the package, can I just give them my number when I get a pass at the convention? I head that way tomorrow. Any thoughts?

Your Member # is what is needed.

If you have signed up online it only takes a few business days to get entered into the system. Generally after 3 business days you can call Member Services @ 800-672-3888 and they will provide you with your Membership #.

Once you have your Membership # you can access your account on https://www.nramemberservices.org/Home.aspx and you can print a copy of your card or they will email it to you. It can also be saved to some mobile devices.

Thanks, I was able to print it off.

I wonder if they used my old number? I lapsed for about 6 months, think I'll try to sign in with that number online, thanks for the info everyone

Yes to this! ^^^ I did my membership online a bit over a week ago, but haven't gotten my email yet. I called their toll-free number, and a very helpful guy gave it to me. G2G!

I was near downtown at Methodist today, got done there about 5:30 and decided to see if I could preregistir at the convention center, they had preregistration from 2-6 and I walked in gave my first initial, my last name and zip code and they were able to look me up, go my pass and ready to go. They told me that if you used the NRA online membership sign up that you should be in the computer

Didn't feel the need to start a new thread. I just joined the NRA online Monday this week. If I showed up Saturday to check out the convention center would they be able to look me up at the door?

There should be no problem with them finding your name in the system. It usually only takes a few business days to get you entered.

If you used the NRA online sign up then you should be fine, if you went thru another website then maybe, that's what they told me today at the show when I registered

 

[Robert8252]

Thanks. Worse case I have the email receipt for my payment.

 

[Robert8252]

Called the hotline today and got my membership number. Signed up online and printed my card. Planning to go tomorrow now.

If you have your member identification number, you can create an account at nra.org, login, and then print copies of your membership card.


Your member ID is printed on the address label of your magazine.

Only thing I've gotten so far is a hat and a welcome letter, there is a number on it but it wouldn't let me log onto NRA.org with it?

My dad took a printout of his confirmation and got in, no problem
