Membership Card

I've been a member for several years now, and my "Good Sam Club" card was always a nice sturdy plastic card with nice graphics that was easy to find in my wallet.

Today I got my new card. It's cheap flimsy paper and the ink is already smearing.

If this is a first class organization, then why does the membership card, the only "visible" evidence I carry, look like a disposable discount coupon from Burger King?

  • I got my Deluxe Membership card this afternoon also and it was the cheap peel off kind and the membership number was smeared when I opened the envelope. I was also very unimpressed.

  • I am a life member and wondering about Highways Magazine. I have not received one in several months. Has it been discontinued?

    BlackSilver,

    Thank you for sharing your concerns. I will forward your thoughts along to the Marketing team so they are aware of the concern with both the paper and the smearing ink. So sorry that you have had this experience.

    Thank you for your membership,
