The WCF rates effective Jan. 1, 2025 are available and offered via SettleKing and PayPal.

These rates are also approved for paper copy subscriptions mailed to all other states including Oregon. If you are an Oregon resident, you still have the option to buy a "basic" (online only) membership directly from OCF. Idaho residents can buy a "premium" membership including a NWC paper copy subscription directly from ICA. Please inquire at info@nwchess.com if you have questions about the rates.

IMPORTANT NOTE for PAYPAL USERS:

There is a surge in scam emails designed to look like legitimate payment notifications, pressuring recipients to call a fake customer support number and hand over sensitive information. If you have any questions about PayPal transactions with Northwest Chess, please inquire at info@nwchess.com, or directly with WCF or OCF if one of their tournaments or membership systems is involved.

PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR STATE:

NOTE: Buyer is responsible for choosing correct state and making sure that address is updated in PayPal and/or with your credit card company. We also recommend checking your address with U.S. Chess if applicable. Buyer agrees that failure to choose the correct state of current residence, and to pay any applicable sales tax, may result in a reduction in the term of membership and magazine subscription.
