GCC 101 - Life Memberships

When you renew your membership, and the term will end after your 75th birthday, you'll get a membership card with "LIFE MEMBER" on it.

It’s not hard to calculate your renewal cost if you would like to extend it for life if you have an individual membership. First, look at your expiration date (in the Members Area, About Me block). Calculate the number of years needed to extend it beyond your 75th birthday. The basic formula is $12 a year plus $3 (less $1 if you are in the bonus).

For two person families, calculate the number of years needed for each member. The amount needed is $15 per year for the youngest person plus $5 (less $1 if in the bonus). Subtract $3 for each of the years in the difference between the two members ages.

It's important that your birthdate on the club records be correct, as otherwise you might receive a fraudulent life membership. (Birthdates can be hidden from other club members if you are sensitive.)
