members live at the same address. Members receiving the family discount DO NOT
receive a physical copy of the USHPA Pilot magazine.
How it works:
Member A signs up as a fully-paid member.
Member B signs up and applies the discount using Member A's
membership number. Member B is now unenrolled in the physical magazine
subscription.
If there is another member or members living at the same
residence, they may also use the family discount by referencing the fully-paid
member's membership number.
