To collect that benefit head on over to http://www.pdga.com/supporting and fill out the necessary information. You'll receive a PDGA number, mini marker disc, and rulebook... or you can get a $10 discount on a full membership to get those things plus a membership card, PDGA logo disc, and subscription to "Disc Golfer" magazine.

Not sure what's up with that. Seems to be a problem on the PDGA side. I posted on one of their threads about it: https://www.pdga.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=32452

From the PDGA forum thread:

We're currently performing an in-depth organizational analysis in an effort to develop a long-term strategic plan for moving the sport forward. One of the recommendations we expect to come out of this process is a plan to offer a new and improved supporting level membership. We want to create something that provides real value for all disc golfers, not just those that compete in PDGA sanctioned events.
