If you buy a certain amount from the
shop,(I think it's $50 but you should
check) 12 months
membership is free. Bob.

HI Wojo12,
Probably the majority of our customers are Seniors and the price of our
Membership is matched to suit our customers. Without the revenue from our
Membership program we wouldn't be here but we're still around - after 12 years, it seems people appreciate what we have to offer. For many years,
Membership was $60, with a $40 annual renewal. It was changed some time ago to a flat $50 annual fee - as many people would let it lapse for a few months and then rejoin/renew so this kept things much easier from an admin point of view for everyone because the two prices got confusing. But, with an upgraded to our user profile management system we were able to sort out the admin issues in
Membership renewal and with it we have been pleased to be able to pass on savings to Members renewing by dropping fees for renewal to just $29.95 - we value longevity and on-going loyalty of our Members and aim to encourage our Members to stay. So Members is now $49.95 with a $29.95 renewal fee.
We do not participate in the Seniors Card program, but with your ExplorOz Member Card you can save at least 5% off product prices in our
shop, qualify for free postage on orders, pay nothing for Classified ads (saving $19.95 on each ad you place), and have access to other features on this site that are inaccessible to non-members.
I hope this answers your question adequately and hope that we might see you join too.
Cheers, Michelle Martin

Wojo,
Other than my initial joining expense, my
membership, as Bob stated, is free.
By buying stuff that I wanted anyway (true, I did - I think I did anyway) my
membership costs nothing.
There are heaps of great features here that make the small investment worthwhile, unless you know everything already.

As a pensioner, When joining I looked at the
membership fees offered by E O.
I decided on the Life
Membership option for a member of my age.
I am still considering weather I have done the right thing.
Should I have taken the cheaper option?

Thank you Muzbry! Escarby, I negleted to advise Wojo12 about the convenience and cost saving of Lifetime
Membership as I didn't want to confuse him but thanks for raising it.
