Premier Program
The Iron Butt Association is a not a dues-based
organization. Once you complete and certify an IBA ride you are a
member forever without any additional cost to you. However, of
our tens-of-thousands of members, there are a few who seek elite
status. Premier Membership is where we start.
Premier
Membership has benefits and privileges that cannot be had in any other
manner for any price.
- Subscription to a private digital
newsletter which keeps Premier members on the inside track of
everything happening in the IBA.
- Fast-track
certification of IBA rides. Premier members have access to a private
email-based ride submission system and a dedicated certification group
which puts your rides in a much shorter queue. Fast track certification
requires the use of Spotwalla (see below) and needs to be submitted
through dedicated Premier channels.
- Advance notice and early registration
for IBA events. Premier members receive notice of events before
the general membership and can register before registration is
open to the general membership. Being locked out of guaranteed
sell-out events such as the Jacksonville Party is a thing of the past
for Premier members.
- Advance notice of new certification
and rides. Premier members will know first about new rides (such
as themed rides) and certification.
- Special rides. Premier members
have access to rides that are specifically tailored for Premier riders.
- Private Premier-only forum.
Premier members have access to a Premier-only chat in the IBA
forum.
- No-charge Award certificates (like Mile Eater Award, 4 Seasons
Award and others). Non-Premier members pay $45 certificate
fee.
- The Iron Butt
Rally. If
you are one of the uber-elite who has what it takes to compete in the
toughest motorcycle rally in the world, Premier membership is really
not optional. Premier
members get a private drawing like IBR veterans. Plus, Premier
members get a second draw in the
main drawing. Your chance of being selected for this rarest
opportunity is more than doubled. Hundreds apply and a few
are
selected. If you long to be one of them; Premier membership is
priceless.

Many
IBA rides require the use of Spotwalla for route tracking. The
average annual Spotwalla service fee for most riders is around
$25. But because Spotwalla makes it so much easier to verify your
rides, the IBA is willing to subsidize part of your annual Spotwalla
service fee.

all IBA members
for an annual fee of $59 (USD) and can be purchased right now at
