I have been an NAPP member for a few years now and fully agree that the savings on software and other items (e.g. free shipping from B&H) fully cover the yearly $99 fee. I have used the NAPP tech support on numerous occasions and they have not let me down yet. The magazine is a great educational resource and the website has terrific tutorials as well.
The discounts that you get from the brands listed above will definitely reimburse you for your $99 — in the first 4 months of this year I have save over $200 from my NAPP discounts — I am a member for life!!!
Just wanted to also point out that the Tech Support also extends to Lightroom.
