Ian-358801 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I cannot find whether or not renewing members get the bonus model, the Meteor for 2023.I assume it is as the annual fee is the same, but I could be wrong.I have an interest in Meteors having worked with them so would kick myself if I missed out by renewing rather than lapsing and joining.Can someone please clarify?Edit: To help new readers, the answer is yes, you do, and you get 10% discount.Thanks again to everyone who helped answer this.

Ratch Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I got the Meteor when I renewed. Why don't you telephone and ask someone at Airfix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null_null981707818191 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 FWIW when I renewed, I got the full goodie-box (which includes the Meteor) back to me within three days. And of course if you are renewing (as opposed to joining) you get the 10% discount, so the Meteor and a year's membership is only £27.00 - which I think is excellent value.

Ian-358801 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Thanks all for that and your time. You’ve put my mind at rest. I've just renewed and got the 10% discount, something else not explicit in the comms (yes, we get 10% off orders but I couldn’t find anything saying membership was an order for this purposes). Ratch, good point. I did think of calling Airfix but thought putting it here would help others more and I was short of time and couldn’t call yesterday. Adrian, I got the same email but the header was‘Three reasons you should join the club’ which was ambiguous as I had already joined. I look forward to seeing you all on the forum in the coming year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 It all depends on whether you wanted a definitive answer Ian. We're all just punters here, no-one works for Airfix and we can only tell you what has happened in our dealings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry-345530 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I'm a member, but live in the US, so am a "ROW" member. Would like the "goodie box" - but postage is astronomical. I enquired about a US "goodie box" and waiting for a definitive reply. My query was forwarded to a US representative, so we'll see what happens!

Terry-345530 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Well, it's been six months now - and nothing new regarding a US "goodie box" - as noted, my query was forwarded to a US rep, but nothing heard since then.Think I'll shoot another note to HQ and see if I can get a response; would sure be nice if we in the US could get a Member's Kit each year we renew. Don't think it would be that hard to do - the UK has it figured out, so maybe follow their lead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
