That has been my experience also. If you go to "Big Tom's" site, the
official "ChileHead Card " provider you will see we offer a 10%
discount to all card carrying CHs. In the last 6-7 years only one
person has asked for the discount.
I think the list membership is way down from its peak, way back in
the early 90's. There are a few of "old veteran" CH from that time
still on the list. But with the difficulty that now exists in the
sign up process, it has dwindled membership. At one time there was
over 1,200 members. I would think that it is less than 300 now.
