My membership has expired and it is not allowing me to renew again. How do I renew or reinstate my membership again?

All non-renewed or inactive memberships are terminated after the 90-day grace period has ended, post the 30 June expiry date. If your membership has expired and it’s been past the 90 grace period past the expiry date of 30 June, you will need to rejoin as a New member and might be subject to higher pro-rated dues. Sign into your profile, and Purchase a New Membership (Note: the Rejoin/Renew button will not work.)

My membership costs different than what is listed on the website.

New memberships dues are pro-rated based on the month joined in the current year. The membership would lapse on June 30 of the following year (up to 18 months and as short as 7 months). New members who join in January – June of the current year will pay dues for the remainder of the dues cycle (approximately 6 months of the current year, in addition to the 12 months of the following year (between 13-18 months total). The membership will always expire on 30 June of the following year.
