I gues I'm just not seeing how we all know the a paid AMA year expires at the end of that year,
what I dont get is why anyone is wanting/getting to do AMA member things after their term has expired.
As for AMA charging more for folks that pay late,
they already do that: You get 10 months of membership for the 12month price.... you really pay thru the nose if you hand over $58 in September or November!
Just consider the folks that renewed on time paid for 12 months @ $4.83, and the guy that re-ups in June pays for 7months of $4.83 + $24 penalty = $58
AMA already has more than $50 built-in Late Penalty for guys that renew in December, right?
Pay $4.83 for December & the $53 penalty = $58 for December renewers.
