WY Withdraw Question

[jryoung]

Dumb question, or more like dumb guy with question. Given the long lead time on WY NR applications part of our strategy is to put in for full price tags, while also trying to draw MT with MT being our preference (as well as a few others like AZ, UT, NM that would all be a bonus). If we draw MT or one of the other, we'll withdraw from WY. It looks like it is just a $5 fee/penalty to do so, am I reading this correct or is there something totally obvious that I'm missing.

$5 plus the credit card fee, which I think is 2.5%

Can you change your application to something with draw odds so low it’s impossible to get the tag and avoid another fee?

The app fee and credit card fee are nonrefundable whether you withdraw or don’t draw.

You can withdraw your application prior to the drawing deadline in Wyoming which is variable on the species. Below is a like that shows nonresident deadlines for WYoming:

I had to withdrawal my application last year because I drew a tag in AZ. Even if you withdrawal in February they still hold your cash until May.
