Unfortunately I would agree you are an excessive user based on 6 times in 3 years.
Twice a year is a lot in my mind. In the end the numbers just won't add up. They cannot afford to keep you.
Assuming your dues are $150.00 per year and your service calls were at least $200.00 per year. If you were actually towed your service call fees are actually higher.
Using the above numbers they lost $50.00 per year on your membership.
No one is in business to lose money. At some point they must cut their losses.
Looks like they drew the line at 3 years.
I am sorry but your logic is just not there. Like all insurance plans which this essentially is it relies on a large group paying fees and not everyone getting sick.
To my recollection GSE was claiming 38,000 RSA members at $69.95 per membership that equates to Over $2.658,000. PER YEAR.
This is Greed writ large nothing else.
Not only are they relying on everyone not getting sick at once. They are also relying on each individual not getting sick too often.
You can only have so many accidents before being cancelled. Only so many trees can hit you house before you are not renewed.
How many service calls/tows do you think you are entitled to for your $79-$150 annual service fee? Do you really think it's unlimited?
Ok, I was done, but some folks aren't getting the idea. I just got off the phone with AAA and renewed my membership with them for $114yr. It covers my RV as well as my other vehicles (just like Good Sam), Tows for 200 miles (Good Sam is Unlimited...to the nearest repair shop) and 4 calls per year without question(apparently Good Sam only allows 2 per year and cancels you afterward). These are the facts folks. White wash it anyway you want to make yourselves feel better, AAA is proving to be the better choice between the two. I had AAA for several years before changing to Good Sam and never got cancelled, only changed for the RV service and now AAA has that as well.
