I paid over $150 a year for several years, some to AMA, some to the club. I noted that over time, I seldom flew at the club anymore - choosing instead to fly closer to home where I spent more time flying and less time getting there and back. So I decided to stop the club membership, but maintain AMA to keep open the option to fly once or twice a year as a guest.

I also set for myself a deadline of my next renewal (December 2016), to decide on whether to keep the AMA at all. It's true that AMA offered me a chance to get a full refund, and I declined, because I intended to keep to my self-established timeline for a decision.

I'm now seven months into 2016, and still haven't once flown anything that requires a club field. In December 2016 I'll decide whether continued membership in the AMA is of value.
