.... keep dreaming. Your a lifer now....daily communications for contributions is part of the deal. I went almost 3 days with no mailers from them, so I called, just to make sure they weren't mad at me.

I certainly hope you don't think I was saying you would. Quite frankly, i am no longer sure what the "special deal" entails. The impression I got, by reading this thread, was that the 300 dollar deal was for family members. At the beginning of the thread, I had the impression it did not have to be family. Then a poster mentioned he was told it was for family only and he made a joke about not saying Mike was his uncle.

Some folks don't read the whole thread. I thought you may have missed the part where they said it had to be family. I was simply pointing this out to you with the caveat that if you find out the deal is for friends(without having to fib) let us all know. I have a couple buds that might be willing to join for 300 bucks, but like others on this thread, would not be willing to lie to get the deal.

I hope you don't think I was saying you would lie. Good lord...I don't think anyone on this thread would do that. I got the impression they started out allowing a few friends to join at 300 and decided to cut it off.

I got the 500 dollar upgrade deal you are talking about and I didn't know if you thought you needed a sponsor for that...you don't.

If there is a sponsor here who will get in touch with me I will call today. Thanks

I don't think you need a sponsor for the 500 dollar deal.If your talking about the 300 dollar deal...somebody posted a couple posts back that they have said it was for signing up family only. Let us know if they let you do it as a friend. I have a couple buds that would probably sign up for the 300 bucks but they aren't the type to lie to get it. I don't want to set it up for them and then look like I was intending for them to pull a quick one...it would reflect on my integrity at that point.

Does this mean the deal is still being offered for family members? I was considering doing it for my son.

Maybe the deal changed or something. I can't imagine that all the people in this thread that got the deal, did it by lying and saying they were related. At least I hope not or we are truly losing sight of what is honorable.

I did not mean to suggest that the folks that got the deal were anything less than honorable! I think it is more luck of the draw as to who you get on the other end! Seems like if you can get Dianne, you have a shot at getting the deal, if not, you are out of luck!

I thought about it over lunch and decided to pony up for the full amount (didn't need another EBR anyhow). So now I am a Lifetime Member of the NRA!

And i did not mean to imply that you said that. I was just meaning to say they changed the deal up.
