- choose the appropriate fee from the drop down menu next to "Dues Rate." NOTE: As you check out, you must check the "Pay Installment Amount" box on the checkout page where you enter your credit card information.
- Credit card numbers are not saved after the first online payment. You have the following options:
- Call the AMTA office at 301-589-3300 and provide a credit card number for the file so it can be run every 30 days (15th or 30th of each month) until all installment payments are complete.
