How do I view/print my Membership Card and COG #?

Your COG Member Number is on your electronic membership card. The Membership Card may be viewed/printed by visiting the member profile page: https://concours.org/Sys/Profile 

Can an Associate Member have their own account on COGMOS?

Absolutely! If fact, for all Member+ Associate memberships the primary member must add the associate member to their account using a unique email. This will allow the associate member to log in and register for events at the member discounted fee. The associate account is "bundled" with the member's account and shares the same member+associate plan. Presently only one associate may be added. To add an Associate Member and create their account:

    1. Go to your member profile: https://concours.org/Sys/Profile
    2. Scroll down to the Bundle Summary section
    3. Under the Bundle Summary, you should see “Bundle limit 2” and “Used so far 1”.  If “Used so far” = 2, then the Associate Member is already setup in the system and you should see their name. 
    4. Click on “Add member”, enter the Associate Members information including a unique email address and a password.  The email address for the Associate Member must be different from the Member’s email address. 

    Can non-members register for COG events?

    Yes, events may be designated as COG member-only, open to the public, or both. An additional benefit of joining COG is that many events are discounted for members.

    Where is the COGMOS data stored?

    COG data, including member information, is stored within secure, third party servers providing COG's membership services. 

    What about credit card security?

    Payment processing is handled by an industry-leading, highly secure encrypted gateway, with all transactions going through a secure socket layer.

    What about COG Member privacy?

    Only our designated Administrators have access to member data. Members may elect to display their contact and other personal information to other members, or they may elect to keep this information private.

    Why does my online payment fail?

    If you are having issues with an online credit card payment, please try the following before contacting our Membership Officer:

    • Try a different browser, or Clear Cookies/Cache
    Use another browser or clear cookies and cache will help resolve issues. 
    • Try making the payment from a different PC/laptop.
    It may be that VPN, firewall, antivirus, or security settings on the PC are the issue. 
    • Try making the payment on a different network home/office.
    Sometimes network, proxy, or other security settings block the connection.

    In some cases clearing the cache of the page (Ctrl Refresh, or Ctrl Shift Refresh) may fix the problem, or by deleting any cookies related to concours.org may resolve the problem. However I suggest you try the other solutions first.

     Can I retain my COG number if my membership expires?

    Club policy for expired members to retain COG number:

    • Members expired less than 1 year can retain their previous COG number
    • Members expired more than 1 year but less than 2 years, the member must join/renew with the two year membership plan to retain their COG number
    • Members expired 2 or more years must renew with the 3 year membership plan to retain their COG number
    • When expiring members choose to retain their previous COG number, their club’s join date will be modified to reflect their absences from the club
    • Retaining a COG number is manual operation - you must communicate your desire to retain your COG number to the Membership Officer by email or phone
