New Membership deal for $79.95?

We are new motor home owners, and just joined Good Same using the "New Member Deal" of $79.95. I'd like to know why my credit card was charged two separate charges of $52.95 and $69.00 for a total of $121.95 instea of $79.95. Nowhere during the enrollment process did I see anything that said, "You will be charged $121.95 instead of $79.95." I am hoping there is a logical and reasonable explanation for this and that the $79.95 thing was not a sham. Although, judging from a couple of other comments that I've read here already, I have my doubts.

(By the way, a real e-mail address for Good Sam would be helpful. I sent a message about this through the Good Sam website the day I joined last week and have not received a response yet. I have the feeling GS is very quick to take the $$, but not so much on the caring about the customer side of things. Not a good taste in our mouths thus far.)

    I also doubt it will work that way. And, in about six months the OP will start getting renewal notices.
  • This seems to be very typical of anything branded Good Sam or Camping World. They are very customer unfriendly. The horror stories and behaviors that can only be interpreted as contempt for their customer are prevalent on this website.
  • I would immediately contact your credit card company and place this charge in a dispute mode until good sam answers or until you cancel for good!!! This is bait and switch.
  • Thanks for showing me that, Dutchman. No where during my sign-up process was anything of that nature shown to me. The initial tease to sign-up for $79.95, then at the very end it showed that I was charge $121.95.

    I'll be interested in the response from the moderator.
  • I'll tell you exactly what happened, this from their web site:

    You should have a membership for 5 years now! But I bet it won't work that way!

    FYI, we renew our Good Sam membership at the Camping World store. The check out person once told us it's cheaper than the on-line membership. So, we've done it that way ever since.
