The time, effort and postage of American Legion membership dues renewal can all be saved through the new online Automatic Annual Renewal Program, now available nationwide.
Members can
simply go to legion.org/renew and
click "Renew Now" to safely and conveniently pay their post
dues on an annual, automatic basis. Once a member enters the information requested,
he or she can set the account for automatic annual renewal. Automatic renewal
can also be set up by calling the toll-free American Legion customer service
line at (800) 433-3318.
Following all
industry standards to protect the personal financial safety of members, The
American Legion will maintain a record of those participating in the program
and, at the beginning of each new membership year, will automatically process
the renewal, charging it to the credit or debit card of the member's choice.
The transaction would occur about July 15 of each year.
Once dues are
successfully renewed automatically online, members will receive confirmation
by email. It is important, therefore, that The American Legion has updated
email addresses for participating members. To report a change of email
address, phone number or other contact information, members can call toll-free
(800) 433-3318, send an email to cs@legion.org, or go online at www.legion.org/membershipmanagement
and use the "Change Address" option.
American Legion
post dues rates can change one year to the next. Post
dues rates in effect at the time of the automatic renewal will be applied.
Members can
cancel participation in the Automatic Annual Renewal Program at any time.
The cancellation will be applied to any future charges, and will not affect
the benefits of any dues paid for the current year. All cancellation requests
must be received by June 30 each year in order to ensure cancellation prior
to the mid-July automatic renewal time.
Cancellation requests can be submitted by email to cs@legion.org or in writing to:
...........
The American Legion Customer Service
........... PO Box 1954
........... Indianapolis, IN 46206
To complete a cancellation, the Legionnaire must include:
Member ID number
Name & Address
Last 4 digits of the credit/debit card number used
Daytime telephone number in case customer-service representatives have
any questions.
Also helpful
in the cancellation process is the transaction number that appears
on the confirmation form received at the time automatic renewal is established.
Anytime members want to change the credit or debit card number used for the
Automatic Renewal Program, or report a new expiration date, they can do so
easily by calling the toll-free customer-service line at (800) 433-3318.
