BrianMiller Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 I recently renewed my membership and I saw that it said on the paper that i recieved that there may be some discounts available. What are these discounts? Are there any online hobby shops that give membership discounts? Thanks
ghodges Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Good question, and one I'll be watching to see what the answer is! GIL
ClareWentzel Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 At one time, SAM Publications gave a discount to IPMS members. Not sure if it is still available.
Ron Bell Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 I know of no national agreements for any discounts. Perhaps referring to LHSs that sometimes give a discount to IPMS? I'll ask the rest of the eboard and report back.
dmorrissette Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Well, from an individual standpoint, getting to know the greatest bunch of modelers and people is my personal favorite (as well as participating in the IPMS Nationals) but if you are looking for monetary reasons, I can offer two. First, you can join our reviewer corps. This program gets you free items and all you need to do is build, read, etc., the item and review them. Several of the reviewers have reviewed over 300 items worth more than $10000 for the price of writing a review. Heck, reviewing a couple decal sheets covers the membership fee Second, if that's not your cup of tea, check this page: http://www.ipmsusa.org/member_services/index.shtml It shows any current discounts nationally. I know some hobby shops also offer discounts but that isn't tracked. And I have probably forgotten something too Dave
jimpearsall Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 SAM Publications offers a 15% IPMS discount on the FIRST order for books or subscriptions. That's from the latest Journal. Jim
