Can you believe it’s already July? Not only are we halfway through the year, we’re only a month and a half away from the Great American Stamp Show! We hope you’ll join us in Hartford on August 15-18 for four days of unfettered philatelic fun – check out our show page for more information, or our list of APS-sponsored events at the show to see what you can look forward to!

But right now, we’re feeling sporty (who wouldn’t be, with all the talk of Paris 2024?) and like Team USA, we’re determined to have a strong showing this summer. That’s why we have not one, but TWO special offers for members joining in July. This month, our prorated membership rate usually becomes $59.25 for 18 months (for U.S. members) – but this month, new members can use coupon GOLD24 with their application to take $9.25 off and get 18 months of APS membership for just $50 for U.S. members, $62.50 for Canadian members, $75 for international members, and $37.50 for digital members. That means that if you join in July, you’ll be paid through the end of 2025 for just a few dollars more than a regular year’s membership.

And on top of that great deal, new members who join in the month of July through August 16 will have a chance to win a very special giveaway, with a first prize and grand prize winner to be drawn live at the APS General Meeting on August 17 at GASS 2024. The first prize winner will receive a year’s free dues, and the grand prize winner will receive a free life membership! The cost of life membership ranges from $750 to $1,475, so this may just be the most valuable prize we’ve ever given away – if you’ve been thinking about joining the APS, now is definitely the time. Why not visit our Join Now page to learn more?

Our membership team is standing by to take your calls, process your applications, and speed you on your way to philatelic victory with the APS – on your mark, get set…COLLECT!
