Q5.Why do I receive renewal notices so early?
A5.Bassmaster Magazine is printed two months before the actual issue is shipped, thus those members who renew close to their expiration date may experience an interruption in service. Early renewal notices are delivered in order to prevent such interruptions.

Q6.I recently renewed my BASS Membership (which includes my Bassmaster subscription), but I received an additional statement; why?
A6.Renewal payments may take several weeks to post to your account. In most cases, your payment and the additional renewal notices have simply crossed in the mail.

Q7.I'm suddenly receiving two issues per month; how can I fix this?
A7.This occurs when BASS has two separate memberships on file for the same person/address. These memberships can be combined, and the one membership will result in a new expiration date. Please contact BASS Membership Services at customerservice@bassmaster.com or toll-free 877-BASS-USA, option #2 to resolve this issue.

Q8.We have two (or more) members in the same house; do we need two magazines?
A8.BASS offers what is called a Joint Membership, where additional members of the same household may become members at a much reduced price, and simply receive one issue of Bassmaster Magazine per month. Please contact BASS Membership Services at customerservice@bassmaster.com or toll-free 877-BASS-USA, option #2.
