You’ll receive one notification each year before your card is charged for your renewal. This notification will serve as a reminder for your upcoming auto-renewal transaction. On the day your membership expires, your credit card will be automatically charged the renewal fee. For more information, view our pdf with Q&A on the auto-renewal process!

Thank you for making your membership dues go even further by selecting auto-renewal!
