OnTheFly: Question?
Just how does a person make a change(s) to their donation information on Piryx. Here’s the situation/problem.  Out of the Blue my credit card company sent me a new card. Now I need to go to all my accounts that auto deduct whatever amounts, including Piryx for the NFOA and change the credit card number. I’ve looked over all the Piryx information and I don’t see any place where a person can change anything, including no place to cancel if one desired to do so for whatever reasons. It looks to me like the Piryx form needs to be modified or have some place where changes can be made by individuals without having to talk with a person or whatever needs to happen. If you don’t know the answer, please point me in the right direction. Thanks, Bill

If a donor needs a refund, or needs to cancel their donation, what do I do?

If a donor requests to cancel their donation or recurring donation, or wants a refund, those requests can only be handled on our side. Contact us at billing@piryx.com, and send us the donor’s information, including their last name, amount, and last four digits of their card, and we’ll accommodate that request. If needed, we may ask for other information. We keep the account owner CC’d on any correspondences regarding billing as much as possible. For these requests, we will credit the Donor their donation and will debit your account for the full donation amount.

Occasionally, the donor will contact Piryx directly regarding refunds and cancelation requests. In the event a donor a needs to refund a payment, they should contact the organization first. The organization can then contact us for final resolution.

If the donor inadvertently submitted a duplicate donation, they can contact us directly for a refund. Also, if there is a pending recurring payment that has not processed, the donor can contact us directly to cancel future payments. However, for previous payments, the donor will need to contact the organization to resolve the matter.

Bill, I would ask Piryx Billing to cancel the current recurring payment and then when that is handled you can start new one if you so choose.

If  that fails, and you need to have NFOA try and resolved the matter, you can contact President Wesley  D or Treasurer Chris Z

Mud...you have FINALLY arrived.  You are actually #26 since the poll does not include the "vote" of the individual who viewing the thread.

Thanks for clarifying the count.

Thanks Dan, I sent Piryx an email at billing@piryx.com last night and they responded today. I explained the situation to them and they cancelled my credit card donation so I could resubmit it with the new credit card number I received. Process worked okay and shouldn't be any interruption in my monthly NFOA donation. Cheers, Bill

patrickdm,

You should know that your action of supporting the NFOA has not only gained my respect, you have also gained Chuck's respect.



Well done sir...WELL done.

But that's the whole point.  It doesn't need to be more, if more people would see the light.  If EVERYONE made just a small donation each month, the NFOA would be able to do so much more to protect our rights.

I see your point Fly. If there are still 1400 members on the forum alone a single $1 a month from everyone would put some funds in the can to support all kinds of things. We're almost at a 2% participation rate and that is very low. Us Nebraskan's are a generous bunch I'm sure the rate will grow. If the site is a non profit can the contributions be deducted?

Unfortunately...no.

WHOA...WHOA...WHOA!

All of a sudden there are 28 monthly donors.  Whoever Mr./Ms. 28 is, please step up and take credit for your generous act.  While you're at it, you can profess the genius of my plan.

Question....is it possible to request our monthly donation be used by the NFOA-PAF?

Good question BK. I have been preaching lately that the PAF is going to need to get busy this next go around. We have  a chance to right some wrongs, as it were.  and that takes money used in a different from other than Lobbying- which is what this money Fly is so subtly soliciting, can only be used for.
I will ask the heads and see what can be done there.

The PAF has it's own separate donation link.  I will get it posted here once I get a chance to look it up, need my computer for that.

Here you go!

https://secure.piryx.com/donate/aKjH1KXH/NFOA-PAF/website-donation-page

Let me clarify my request for monthly donations.  Whether you are donating to the NFOA or the NFOA PAF (Political Action Fund), you are doing your part to protect your 2A rights.  Donating to either of these qualifies you to vote in this thread AND be a member of the cool kids club.  So donate monthly (preferably) or even once in a while, but JUST DONATE!

On a related note...if you are currently set up for an automatic monthly donation to the NFOA, but you think the money would be better utilized by the NFOA PAF, then you can cancel your monthly donation by contacting Pyrex, and then start a new one with the PAF.

It is your choice, just do it already!

Just a quick note to encourage others.  I support local Christian radio and it costs more to do that than to support the local organization that supports my right to own a gun.  How hard is that to figure out?

Thanks waroche.  Each of our members needs to understand the importance of this concept.  All of us joined the NFOA because we want to secure our 2A rights, but sadly most of us aren't willing to give the NFOA the teeth to continue the fight, as witnessed by the poor response to this thread.

Thanks again,
Fly

I signed up to donate $5.00/month.  I am a member of several other 2A groups, but I think its important to support a local organization.  Keep up the good work!

Jon...THANK YOU For your support!  It is because of people like you that our rights will continue to be protected.  Now if only the other 98% of the NFOA members were as smart as you and I, just think what we could do.
