A. Students who are referred will pay the regular $79 plus chapter fee rate, but will receive any current promotional item for new Student members if one is being offered.

Q. What if I earn enough Refer-a-Friend Credits to pay for my membership? Do any additional credits carry over?

A. The amount you earn in friend referrals will be deducted from your next membership renewal. Please call in to renew to insure your credits are applied. If you renew online your credits will not automatically be applied and you will be charged the full amount.

A. Absolutely!
