Affinity programs
Not only does your NRCA membership allow you to save money when you purchase NRCA
publications and register for NRCA programs and seminars, but it also can save you
money in other ways. NRCA has partnered with retailers and other service providers
so you can save more.
American Express
Roofing contractors now can receive free rewards, business-building benefits and
NRCA credits using the American Express corporate OPEN card. This new program is
available to NRCA members and nonmembers, as well as GAF-certified contractors.
Contractors who do not already have an American Express business card will receive
$250 in NRCA credit—$350 if the contractor is GAF-certified—that can be
used for any NRCA product, program and/or service, including NRCA membership, publications,
educational conferences and more. Once a contractor completes the easy application
process and is accepted, the corresponding $250 or $350 NRCA credit automatically
will appear on his or her American Express statement. Those who already have American
Express business cards will receive $50 in NRCA credit when they enroll additional
card members.
The American Express corporate OPEN card provides rewards, benefits, special reports
that track expenses, special savings from various vendors that support OPEN members
and significant NRCA credit.

Roof Express
As a roofing contractor, you really have two jobs. First, there's repairing and
installing roof systems. But you can do that only after you tackle your other job—proposing
and winning the work. To win in today's economy, you need to be good at both. But
where do you find the time?
When you gather and compile roofing information the traditional way, it can take
a week or more to submit a proposal. Meanwhile, someone else already may have won
the work. What if you could get information from the rooftop to your customer's
desktop in a day or two, not a week or two, and make the endless piles of paperwork
disappear?
Click

capture new opportunities—even in a tight economy.
