Multi-Year Premium Memberships Now Available for Purchase on BassFederation.com
 
With Upcoming Members-Only Store, Premium Membership Can Pay for Itself!
 
The Bass Federation has added a series of premium membership packages that give a new meaning to “membership has it’s privileges.” Members can sign up for a silver (two-year), gold (three-year) or five-year platinum plan and receive deeper discounts with each level on such things as hotels, rental cars, cruises and online shopping. The idea is not only to encourage members to sign up for longer periods, but to give those members who make a commitment to the Federation a reward by providing a mechanism for them to use and have the opportunity to save more money than the Premium Membership costs. In effect, making membership in TBF “No Cost”.  Learn More
