Frankly we are puzzled by some car show entrants that don’t pre-enter online because “they don’t trust PayPal”.

Firstly we mainly use them to process your credit card just like any other merchant processor. If you have a PayPal account you can make your payment through your account. But you don’t need an account to use your credit card. Just click on “Use Debit or Credit Card” when you are transferred to the PayPal site. Their site is fully secured by the latest SSL encryption.

Using PayPal may be even safer than using a check or your credit card or bank account to make a purchase.

With PayPal, your financial data is stored away in a single online “vault”, whereas the same can’t be said when transmitting credit card or bank data online on the internet. Also, paper checks can easily be compromised by fraudsters – all they need is a bank account or routing number to crack into a buyer’s account and cause serious financial damage.

PayPal offers buyers “payback” protection if their payments are made, and they don’t receive the merchandise they ordered – giving buyers some peace of mind that they’re money transmittal on PayPal is covered. But please don’t try to refuse payment because it rained during one of our shows. We can offer enough proof that you were aware of our policy of holding our shows RAIN or SHINE. We have won every case where someone tried this.

PayPal buyers should also add their own level of data security by always keeping their data security software updated on all of their digital devices and not using public Wi-Fi to make purchases, as it’s easier for data hackers to breach than a secure and private Wi-Fi connection.

We use PayPal and have been a satisfied PayPal customer for about twenty years. After accepting thousands of registrations with PayPal we can report that we have never had a bad experience with the company. Every transaction has worked correctly and immediately. Sadly, we cannot say the same for other credit card processors we used before switching to PayPal.

PayPal’s security has proven to be top-notch for years and the company is now respected as a highly secure payment processor. Millions of people trust PayPal to handle online transactions. PayPal safely and securely processed around $350 billion (U.S.) in transactions for its clients in 2018.

Using Paypal to pay for online purchases is a great way to protect your credit card or debit card from fraudulent charges. When you pay with PayPal, the merchant (that’s us) never sees your credit card or its number. Without that number, a merchant cannot “rip off” your card. Some other payment processors will even send your credit card number to the merchant. And who knows how well the merchant protects that information from hackers or even from the merchant’s own employees? Not PayPal, however. PayPal has much higher security and never gives your credit card number to anyone else; not to us and not to anyone else. Your credit card number is kept secret by PayPal, unlike other credit card processors. Best of all, again, you don’t even need a PayPal account to use this service.

Regardless of which method of payment method you select on our site, the funds will always be processed by PayPal, even if you do not have a PayPal account. When you receive a statement from your credit card company, the charge will show as PayPal*PREM.

If you still feel uneasy sending money over the internet you can choose our option to register online and send us a check in the mail. Just choose that payment option and print your receipt to send along with your check or money order to the address given to you when you have finished your transaction. No access to a printer? Make sure your name is on the check and put the show name and date on the info line. We must receive your payment by the Wednesday before the show date. If not you will have to pay day of show (cash only) and we will return your check.

There are three ways to pre-register for our shows:

1) Online here by credit/debit card or PayPal. (Fastest and easiest method. You also can move your registration if necessary. (Save $5 and Guarantees a dash plaque and/or t-shirt if offered.)
2) Download a flyer on the show page or send in the registration form from a flyer you received at one of our shows to: Premium, P.O. BOX 11546,
St. Petersburg, Florida 33733. It must reach us by 6 P.M. the Wednesday before he show date to court as a pre-registration. (Receive dash plaque.)
3) Register day of show (cash only) at the venue.  (No dash plaque.)

You will now be able to register a vehicle for our shows without having an account or logging-in. Be advised if you enter as a guest you won’t be able to see a list of upcoming shows you have entered and you will have to provide your full info each time. If you wish to establish an account read our post: “Registering as a new member- (read-this)”.

If you have an account you can always check your reservations by clicking on “MY BOOKINGS”  in the top menu bar on any page of this website. (Make sure you are logged-In first.)

For now you can only register one vehicle at a time for each show.  And only one show at a time per transaction. If you need to add more vehicles just finish the transaction and start another one. Someday that might change but for now only one at a time.

You now are able to print out the registrations yourself and bring them with you to the show. This way you can bypass the sign in table and take your registration and class slip (that you receive when entering the show) directly to the registration trailer.
This saves us time & money by not printing them up ourselves (keeping costs down) and saves you time by not waiting in two lines to check in.

After registering online you will receive an email of your registration to print out.
If you do not have a working printer or it’s out of ink you will be able to ask for the registration to be printed out for you by entering your info using the link in your confirmation email. We will print it out and have it waiting for you at the sign in table. This must be done before the cut off date for that show which is the Wednesday at 6 P.M. before the show date. If you happen to forget your registration you can fill out a special short form on show day at the sign in table.
Please check your email address before entering and check your junk mail folder if you don’t receive our confirmation email. Especially if you have a gmail, AOL or yahoo mail address.

Signing up for an account will not place you on our mailing list. You will have to enter your email address in the signup box to be placed on our list. Just scroll down to the “Join our Mailing List Today” icon in the right sidebar.

**When filling out the entry form you only have to list the color e.g.: “Red” not “Anniversary Red”, Arctic White or some other descriptive phrase. It’s only for the judges to find your car in a sea of others.**

Due to an increase from our Merchant Credit Card Account (since we do not have your card in hand), and in order to keep our car show entry fees to a minimum, we won’t be accepting phone entries. You may enter ONLINE with no extra fees. Or you can mail in pre-entries with your check.*

* Note: Mailing in your pre-registration: it must arrive the Wednesday before the show date. You also will not receive a conformation as you do when entering online.
