It costs $299. You have the option of paying it out right by check or credit card or installments by credit card. I figured that it would definitely save me in international operating fees (IOF) over the years. If you belong to an AC, you still have to pay AC dues and some international fees but the money that you pay will decrease over time. Instead of me paying $50 to my AC for all fees, I will now only pay $34 (fees minus IOF). If the IOF goes up again in 5 years but all the other fees remain the same, I still pay only $34 while non-Life Loyals may pay $56. Make sense?

I was thrown when I first heard about the To Dragma subscriptions but as has been pointed out, a lot of other groups do charge for their magazines. One group has it free only for collegiate members. Another offers you a choice on the number of issues that you would like to receive. Another group went from 4 issues per year to 2.

My cousin is a Tri Delta and they have this same type of program. If you go to the Tri Delta web site, you can read all about what they offer.
