Thank you for considering this sustainable, eco-friendly option to renew your membership! When you click Join/Renew Now, you will be able to enroll in auto-renewal by checking the box next to "renew this membership automatically when it expires."
By enrolling, you will no longer need to keep track of expiration dates, call to renew your membership or arriving at the museum with guests to realize that your membership is lapsed. With auto-renewal, you save time and your contributions stretch further!
See below for frequently asked questions about auto-renewal.
Q. What information do you need to process my auto-renewal?
A. The transaction will look and feel like a regular online membership payment. Your credit card information is securely kept on file in your record. Your credit card information is stored in such a way that it cannot be used for any transaction except for auto-renewal of your membership. So, you will still need to provide payment information for transactions on other items, such as tickets, merchandise, etc.
Q. When does my membership renew?
A. Your membership will renew on your renewal date. You will receive your membership cards in the mail in two to three weeks.
Q. What amount will I be charged for future terms of membership?
A. Discounts and promotions do not auto-renew. Your auto-renewal charge will be for the regular price amount of your membership level.
Q. My circumstance has changed. How do I update my future auto-renew transactions?
A. You can upgrade your membership at any time by contacting the Membership Department. For cancellation of future auto-renewals, please contact the Membership Department at least three weeks before your renewal date.
