How to renew your membership

Membership renewals

You can check your membership expiry date in the Subscriptions area of your ASOC account, where it appears as the ‘Next Payment Date’, and on the reverse of your membership card.

 

Renewal reminders:

We will send out email reminders to renew your membership 14 days and 1 day before expiry. If you allow your membership to lapse you will need to join as a new member. There is an extra $6 sign-up fee for new memberships. If your membership has lapsed, go to the Join page [link] to take out a new membership.

 

Renewing your membership:

  1. Login (top right of screen) or click here My Account [link]
  2. Click in Subscriptions
  3. Click on RENEW NOW
  4. Pay for your membership with your credit card.
  5. At this point the system will have your new subscription on hold while the funds clear, however you can still access the members-only areas of the website.
  6. You will receive emails notifying the processing and completion of your renewal order.

 

Once your renewal is complete:

  1. Your My Account page will display the new subscription period – the ‘Next payment date’ is the last day of your Subscription.
  2. You will continue to have access to the members-only areas of the website, as before.

 

Is someone else renewing the membership on your behalf?

They will have to do so via Electronic Funds Transfer (direct bank deposit), not by credit card. Please email the Membership Secretary membership.secretary@asoc.net.au to find out how to do this. Your renewal will be processed once your renewal form has been submitted and the correct payment appears in the ASOC bank account.

 

You can renew anytime within your subscription period.

The renewal date will be the same as your initial membership registration + 1 year. This is handy if you are going to be away when your renewal falls due. Renewing ahead of time will make sure your membership doesn’t lapse while you are away.
