Thanks for the replies. Glad you guys aren't having this issue. I renewed my RMEF membership with one of the same cards today and had no issues. Hopefully it's something simple they can assist me with on the phone. I've never had a single issue applying in Colorado or any other state till today.
I've tried to apply for deer and elk points only in Colorado today with 3 different cards and I've got declined with all 3. I tried using cell phone and computer to login and that didn't make a difference. It showed a pending charge on all 3 cards for the correct amount but wouldn't go through...
The spikes are really cool. If you choose not to go that route I ended up using these to hang my kit muzzleloader in the house. It came with blacksmithed screws to go into wood but I'm sure you could find some masonry screws in the same diameter...
