I belong to Good Sam's because I can recoup the annual cost with the savings I get at campgrounds and Camping World. However, any notice about renewal should clearly state when a member's membership is scheduled to expire. I find the all so common practice of sending out renewal letters months in advance to be unnecessary and a waste of paper and postage! Camping World would be better advised to work on ways to lower mailing costs as a means to reduce shipping rates. All to often, their shipping rates are too high and I can get better shipping rates shopping elsewhere.
