USPA Membership Question?!?

[LivingInClip 0]

I started AFF recently and I was told I need to join the USPA - I went to their website and it has credit card payment for online payment. Is there any other way to join and pay the USPA? I ask this, because I don't have a credit card and really don't want to get one.

Anyone ever mailed them a check? Money order? Anything of that nature? If I have to, I'll borrow a friends credit card and pay him back, but that would be a last resort.

I think your dropzone (assuming they are a USPA DZ) should be able to handle everything necessary to join the USPA. At a minimum they will be able to get you a temporary membership.

As to the issue of a check, I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

USPA will take checks and money orders. Some DZ's take cash and pay USPA for you.

give a check to the DZ and they should be able to mail it for you. If you want the membership effective 'now' which the DZ may require for you to continue your AFF, you'll have to have a CC so they can fax the app in.

I got a copy of the application from my dz. Filled it out and sent it with a money order. Just did this a few weeks ago. Got my card and Parachutist not long after.

I believe the USPA website has an ap. you can print out and send?

If you are jumping at a USPA DZ then you do need to have membership in effect to jump (especially as a student!)

Everyone has given you good advice. If the DZ wont take cash from you and bill their card, then the sooner you send it off the quicker you'll be a member. If you just can't wait then get the temporary in the meantime.
