GSA Automatic Renewal Program Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is the GSA Automatic Renewal Program?

By enrolling in the GSA Automatic Renewal Program, the Genetics Society of America will automatically charge your credit/debit card for your full membership dues each year in your current membership category and current dues rate. There will be no interruption in your membership benefits


How do I enroll in the program?

To enroll, select the GSA Automatic Renewal option in either the online or paper GSA membership application and provide your payment information. By enrolling, you are authorizing the Genetics Society of America to charge your credit/debit card each year until you let us know you wish to withdraw from the program.


What if my membership category changes?

Please notify GSA at membership@genetics-gsa.org to update your membership category. All future renewals will be charged at the applicable rate for your new membership category.


What if my credit card changes or expires?

Please use the payment update link that is included in your annual automatic renewal notice e-mail, which will be sent each year in September. If you have questions, please e-mail membership@genetics-gsa.org. Please do NOT send your credit card information to GSA via email.


How much does it cost?

There is an annual discount for enrolling in in the automatic renewal program. There is no additional fee to participate in the GSA Automatic Renewal Program.


Is my credit card information secure?

Yes, your credit/debit card information is securely stored with Authorize.Net, one of the world’s leading credit card gateways. At no time is your credit card information stored by GSA, and GSA staff do not have access to your credit card information. Please visit Authorize.net to review their privacy statement.


How will I know when my credit card will be charged?

Your credit/debit card will be charged each year in early October for the next membership dues period. You will receive a reminder notice each year in September. The Genetics Society of America will provide prior written notice of any change in the annual membership dues rate. As a reminder, GSA membership operates on a calendar year basis, from January 1 to December 31.


How do I cancel the automatic renewal?

You may cancel your automatic renewal using the link included in your annual automatic renewal notice e-mail, which will be sent each year in September. You must submit your cancellation request no later than October 1 of the current membership year to avoid renewal charges for the upcoming year. Please note that any changes to automatic renewal will take effect for the next year’s membership cycle and will not be retroactive to any previous payments. No refunds will be granted for the previous year’s membership dues.
