After you are a member for thirty years, you should automatically be converted to a lifetime member with no more dues. When they built their main office building, they offered lifetime memberships with no convention rally fees for, if I recall $500 donation?

No mention of that we been members since 1984 or 85,FMCA has sure changed over the years and not for the better.You maybe right thinking about it Sonja pays no dues on her dad's number from the early 70's

I gave up on FMCA 6 or 8 years ago, and don't miss it.

They probably won't offer Lifetime anytime soon. The revenue streamed has been drying up the last several years after the recession back in early 2000 or maybe before. My father was a lifetime member. The number plates are just stickers now. They were cast aluminum back then. I recall seeing somewhere that you can get a cast one done now somewhere. Maybe a polished brass one would be cool. The Michelin tire program is nice, except for the hoops. Some don't like that brand, so useless to them.

At my age the medical assistance program is worth the dues the rest of the stuff they offer you can on your own like the tires they now offer 3 brands

The problem I have is I go in and tell them I will need about 130 gallons and do I get a discount and they say yep we'll charge you for 130 gallons but you will only get 75 gallons, How's that for a discount, LOL

I checked online to see what kind of discount were being offered. It seems that Loves was pretty good, but Pilot/Flying J were just a couple of cents. It didn't seem worthwhile.

Lin, are you talking about the FMCA, or the TSD program that RJ mentioned?

Here are the two program's contact pages. The first is TSD, which to my estimation is the better of the two by a long shot. It has better discounts, a seamless payment/billing structure, and it's easy to set up.

The other is the TCS program being offered through FMCA.

Here's the page from FMCA:
