We are excited to announce some upcoming changes to the Official Elvis Insiders affinity program. 

Starting July 1, the name of the club will be transitioning from the Official Elvis Insiders to the Official Graceland Insiders. As Insiders, you will continue to receive all the great benefits that you have in the past, including discounts at ShopElvis.com, Graceland, Heartbreak Hotel and more – PLUS new discounts and benefits that will be announced soon. 

Above you will see the new Official Graceland Insiders logo and membership card that will begin shipping out to renewing members in July. You will receive your new membership card and pin once you renew your membership – but your Official Elvis Insiders membership card will continue to be valid through the expiration date listed on the back. 

The Insiders official website will transition from ElvisInsiders.com to GracelandInsiders.com on July 1.
