Is this a real complaint?
So what you are saying is that you have been a Good Sam member for 8 years and renewed your membership at Camping World for 2 years instead of 1. The Camping World associate told you that if you opted for a 2 year renewal(instead of that pesky 1 year) that you would get $25 back which would be like only paying for one year -- less actually.
Instead of getting a check back they sent you a gift certificate. Why would they send a check if the promotion is for a gift certificate? Kind of defeats the purpose of the so called promotion doesn't it? They might as well at that point just discount the rate for the 1 year to $13.50 and the 2 year to $25. That is essentially what they would be doing if it wasn't a *cough* promotion.
Sounds like a little miscommunication of the program but honestly after spending about 5 seconds on the website I understood it clearly.

How do you get upset over something like this to take the time to cancel your membership ( of 8 years) and seriously write a letter of complaint? Talk about 1st world problems for sure! What gets me is that you were most likely going to renew anyways after year 9? No? Maybe not but then why renew for 1 year?
I suppose it make about as much sense as me writing about you writing. Anyways - happing camping.
