Membership Payment Options, Refunds, Cancellations and Make-Ups
Membership Payment Options
Memberships are nonrefundable. Payment accepted by cash, check or MasterCard, Visa or American Express credit card. There is a fee of $35 for returned checks. Only cash, credit cards or money orders will be accepted for a check returned for insufficient funds.
Monthly Credit or Debit Card Card Deduction
Your credit or debit card is automatically charged a monthly fee on the fifth of each month you continue as a member. The first monthly charge includes the joiner's fee. Subsequent monthly fees do not include a joiner's fee if unbroken membership continues. MasterCard, Visa or American Express credit or debit cards are accepted. If you decide to discontinue your membership, you must provide the Y with written notice (forms are available at the Member Services Desk) and return your membership card prior to cancelling your draft payment. The cancellation form must be received by the 20th of the month to avoid being charged for the following month. Cancellations are not accepted over the phone.
Annual Lump Sum Payment
Membership dues and joiner's fee paid in full upon joining. Subsequent annual dues do not require a joiner's fee if unbroken membership continues.
Ninety Day Installment Plan
All of the joiner's fee and half of the annual membership fee is paid on joining with the remaining half of the annual membership fee due in 90 days. Subsequent annual dues do not require a joiner's fee if unbroken membership continues.
Joiner Fee
A joiners fee is due when first joining the YMCA as a Young Adult, Adult, Family, Senior or Senior Family member. This fee is used to pay for building improvements and equipment that benefit our members. Except in extenuating circumstances, affected memberships that lapse for thirty days or more will be subject to a joiner fee upon renewal. Members of other Y's who move to Rockland do not have to pay a joiners fee if they join the Rockland County YMCA within thirty days of leaving the other Y and provide documentation of their membership in good standing at the previous Y.
