Annual membership; auto re-new?

I have an auto renew on my annual membership. While shopping at the Conway, NH store last week I was told that Good Sam would no longer be doing the auto renew because of credit card fraud....and then they tried VERY hard to sell me a renewal.

Funny, but with a day or two I noticed my card auto re-new charge.

SO....what's going on. Frankly, I suspect that the stores get some kickback on renewals.

  • Sorry it took so long to close this out, but yes...it took exactly one day to get a response from Good Same representatives.....sorry, not Marcus himself, but it was a reply from that office.

    Seems like the ability to auto renew at the store level is gone (I don't understand that...if you auto renew, why is a store involved) but anyway, the auto renew on line is alive and well.

    They promised to straighten out the store, and the next day the store manager called. Good to see them paying attention in this case.

    The funny thing is that two days after that I had to go to the store again and endure the pitch to renew...seems like their two systems don't talk to each other as frequently as they should.

    You are right! But it is not the store, it is the salesperson or cashier. Telling a little white lie to get you to renew with them on the spot is apparently OK. Good thing you did not renew with them as you have then renewed twice! Good luck getting that corrected!


    I sent Marcus an e-mail...let's see what happens.


    Plus it will cost you a couple of extra bucks if renewed in store.
    Good luck on an answer from Marcus. If he does answer you be sure to inform us.
    You will probably have to start a new thread as the moderators are quick to close threads, this may be to stop people from letting us know about their (non) response from CW/Good Sam.
