ENROLL FOR AUTO-RENEW

Auto-renewing memberships will all be processed Wednesday, August 30th. Take a moment to encourage people to log in to the NEW TCCTA Community and Website to make sure their credit cards are current. Members can update credit/debit card details through August 29th to make sure there is no interruption to membership by clicking on the edit button next to the auto-renew status, updating credit card information, and saving/exiting the portal. We accept VISA and MasterCard only. All current auto-renewal members will receive an email, late August, reminding them of the upcoming charge.

REMEMBER TCCTA ONLY ACCEPTS VISA AND MASTERCARD

Did I mention TCCTA can only process VISA and MasterCard? If a member has tried to input their credit card and gets stalled, it’s probably because they are trying to renew with a Discover or American Express.  Ask them to try again with a Visa or MasterCard or call the State Office (512-328-2044).
