PHOENIX — If you are drawn for a hunt permit-tag in the upcoming Fall Draw, the credit or debit card you used when submitting your application will be charged automatically.
No action is needed if you want to use the same payment method.
If you do need to update your debit or credit card information, the deadline to do so is Monday, June 15, at 11:59 p.m. (Arizona time).
Payment information cannot be updated through your AZGFD Portal Account.
To update your card:
- Locate the receipt that was emailed to you after you submitted your application.
- Visit draw.azgfd.com/Payment/Update.
- Enter your last name and the full order number from your receipt (the number containing “DRAWAPP”).
- Follow the prompts to update your payment information.
If you need assistance, please call 602-942-3000 and select option 5, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If payment is declined at the time of the draw, the application will not be drawn. It is important to update payment information for each species for which an application has been submitted. Also, if you used the same payment method for more than one application, it’s a good idea to notify your bank that multiple charges from AZGFD could be processed simultaneously.
Monday, June 15, at 11:59 p.m. is also the deadline for two other important draw-related items:
- Deadline to buy a PointGuard product. This is your last chance to purchase PointGuard Plus or standard PointGuard for this draw. Both products allow applicants to surrender a hunt permit-tag for any reason and have the bonus points used to draw that tag reinstated (if eligible). A portal account is not required to purchase a PointGuard product. Information at www.azgfd.gov/pointguard.
- Deadline to opt-in for Arizona E-Tag for this draw. Hunters can download this mobile app from either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and opt-in to receive an electronic hunt permit-tag in their AZGFD portal account (this is not an option selected through the draw). The Arizona E-Tag app provides real-time delivery of licenses and hunt permit-tags purchased or drawn after the app has been downloaded. The app also provides the ability to electronically tag a harvested animal in the field and complete the hunter questionnaire. Applicants who opt-in after the June 15 deadline will receive a paper hunt permit-tag. Information: www.azgfd.gov/hunting.
As a reminder, AZGFD portal accounts are the only place where draw results will be posted. Portal accounts are also a great place to track bonus points and more. If you still need a portal account, visit accounts.azgfd.com/Account/Register (account features for minor dependents are available) and complete the required fields.
