90 days Past Due Reminder: Once the payment falls past this point, you should contact your Credit Manager as soon as possible to avoid termination of your membership and services.
Invoice FAQs
When does ASI send invoices?
ASI will send your renewal invoice for membership services approximately 45 days before your renewal date. The invoice will be mailed to your listed Billing address. ASI membership renews annually until you notify ASI in writing that you wish to end the membership. You should take note of the payment schedule on the last page of your invoice and set up a reminder on your accounting calendar for the future payment dates. The annual renewal invoice will be the only invoice sent.
Invoices will also be sent for products that are purchased separately, such as a magazine, catalog or advertising products. These invoices will be sent when the product is shipped or fulfilled and are payable within 30 days of issue date.
Why does ASI send a Statement of Account?
A Statement of Account may be sent to a member if there are any open invoices on the account past 30 days.
Sometimes a credit card will expire and the invoice will be unpaid until the new credit card information can be obtained from the member. This will result in an open invoice that may trigger a Statement of Account to be sent. To update their credit card information, members can contact the ASI Member Services team at customerservice@asicentral.com.
How do I obtain a copy of my invoice?
To obtain a copy of an invoice, contact ASI Member Services or ASI Credit and Collections at (800) 546-1350, prompt 1 during business hours (8am - 8pm, ET, Monday through Friday).
