I've seen a few posts where people have said it takes a large # of books to make a membership worthwhile. Unless I am missing something, a bronze membership can save you money by the 3rd book:
membership = $100
modern 2 day # 1 = free
modern 2 day # 2 = free
modern 2 day # 3 = $ 36
using the 3 fast pass coupons = free
total out of pocket = $ 136
----
not a member =
3 books 2 day modern = $ 120
3 fast pass = $ 30
total out of pocket = $ 150
I realize that there are other variations and options but a membership can pay for itself by the 3rd book.

in fact if you only use the 2 two day modern and 2 fast passes, you break even on the 2nd book.

I think you nailed it Seems like you'd be wasting $14 and more by not purchasing the membership, if that's the way you would submit anyway.

	Is there a discount if you're submitting a bulk order? How much of discount would it be? I have 26 books I'm looking to submit at Tampa Bay Comic Con doing all of them for AW too. Sorry if this has been put out there before.

I have 26 books I'm looking to submit at Tampa Bay Comic Con doing all of them for AW too. Sorry if this has been put out there before. I have the same question. I submitted (77) at the San Jose, California last April and got was not offered a discount. Even when I asked for one they said "No."

	I didn't say it was a bulk order. I know I saw some place in the past that they offer discounts if you submit a bulk order. The membership I think is only good if you submit so much in the year that you have it. Otherwise it's not worth the spent.

I don't submit a lot (7 my most recent order and probably only about the same on my next in September) and it is gonna be worth it in the fee cut alone never mind that I can shave almost that entire cost off my next order.

	It does say on the site to call them in advance with "very large" orders. No idea what very large is. Regarding memberships, if you are going to submit 50 or more books per year, then in my opinion, a bronze membership more than pays for itself, even if you don't use the coupons (have they fixed those yet?).

	@VaComicsGuy you are absolutely right, if you have at least 2 moderns that are valuable enough to warrant 2-day service the membership is already saving you money by the third book.
