For those of us that always seem to forget to renew our membership, AFSA is making it easier for you to ensure your membership is always in good standing.
Here is the official word from HQ AFSA.
Auto-Renewal of AFSA/Auxiliary Membership
Effective May 1, 2011
1. New members may use the “auto-renewal” membership application (available on the web) to activate the membership auto-renewal feature. Existing members may also use the “auto-renewal” membership application to activate the membership auto-renewal feature. In both cases, the “auto-renewal” application must be mailed to HQ AFSA for processing, for maintenance of authorized signatures, and for financial and auditing purposes. All additional credit card charges will be applied during the member’s anniversary month.
2. AFSA Headquarters will send each auto-renewal applicant a “notice of intent to renew existing membership using the original credit card,” not earlier than 30-days prior to the member’s anniversary date.
3. AFSA Headquarters will apply payments for renewed memberships not earlier than 10 days prior to the member’s anniversary date. Applicants will be placed in a “lapsed” status, beginning the first day of the following month, when credit card information can not be resolved.
4. Applicants may cancel their request for auto-renewal at any time prior to charges being placed with the bank (i.e., 10 days prior to member’s anniversary date.) See AFSAM 100-1, Section 8 and Section 11 for cancellations and refunds.
