Any idea how long it takes for a new membership to get activated? I went to a CW today and bought a couple of items. They found me in the computer, but it said my membership was expired.Thanks.

A very legit question you shouldn't have to ask. I want to reactivate my membership but I will not until I can go to a CW pay the cost and be instantly provided with a membership card and I can access benefits immediately. GS is just blowing it with a lack of easily acquired technology. Hey Marcus, you need to be all over this. It is not the first time I have seen these complaints, in fact they are common. Scale back on the junk mail and put the money into some IT, please!

Seems like the last time I renewed before Lifetime membership, that it was instantly done after I paid my money. Never had a problem with the membership part of Good Sam/Camping World.

What is the expiration date on your card?Will take 3 - 4 weeks supposedly to get new cards

I signed up two weeks ago and the expiration date says good for 60 days from that date, but of course it shows inactive in their store system.

We signed up when we were at a local RV show, then went to CW a couple of weekends later, bought a few things, and was given the discount even though we hadn't received the cards yet in the mail,, thought that was nice of them to do that and then we received our cards in the mail about 1-2 weeks later in the mail.

Well, when I give them my phone number, I don't exist. Thanks for playing though.

I have a quick question. Why did you not call GS first,before complaining here.It would only make common sense,and the people at GS are always helpful and friendly

Like another member said, Just give your phone number, When I was a GS member I never worried about the card

I made a screen print copy of the internet confirmation that contained my membership number. Haven't tried it yet, as there is not a CW within 100 miles. But I'm ready...

Hello Kafn8td,

There was a slight delay in membership cards being printed due to higher than normal volume with the new cards. At the current time, cards can take 4-5 weeks to arrive, they should be there shortly to the address we have on file.

Some times I think the sum of all the parts is greater than the the actual part.

How did you sign up? Online? Through the mail? The phone?
