I ran across a website advertising a 1 year free NRA membership. Although I have no problems paying for the membership, I found this to be a little odd. Anyone know if it is true or not?

The site i found the link on is http://www.buymilsurp.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

When I click on the banner it takes me to https://www.nrahq.org/nrabonus/accept-membership.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yes it is true it is free. There is another thread about this here.

Thanks for the reply. I will pass this on to a few that I know want memberships but can't afford it currently.

You're welcome, but tell them to expect daily begging letters and emails asking you to actually pay for it after it is issued. I paid up in the end to avoid the spam. No such thing as a free lunch and all that.

I signed up for it back in April, and I get weekly solicitation emails, plus the latest update for the ILA.....that's about it.

I joined through the link for the free membership on the NRA website and have not had any issues nor have they pestered me for money.

I used the link to purchase the Life Time at 500 bucks.

I signed up my wife and I...with my email for both...and I get them too. Most get sent to "neverland" - hey there MoonWalke - it is picked up bt ZOneAlarm and moved to deletr. I go back into Zone Alarm and tell it to let the emails rough....Zone Alarm knows better and I don't see them until I check the rejected pile...every 3rd day! Clockwork! That DOES NOT convince me to pay them. That PISSES ME OFF to the point that I do't want to pay them. Don't harrass me! I get enough of that in real life...don't need it.

I know that it was free. I know that I should pay. I know that I ASKED for it by signing myself and wife up for free. HOWEVER! I am an ex-recruiter and I can say...with LOTS of proof, that bugging the _______ outta people is NOT THE RIGHT MARKETING STRATEGY!~ If this is the example...for free...what are you gonna do to me if I PAY something,

There's an easy fix to this. Just email membership@nrahq.org with your membership number and ask to be placed on the "Do Not Promote" list. The junk mail and email 'spam' will stop coming within a week or so of their confirmation.
