Park not honoring G.S. w/o the Exp. date on card....
When Good Sam merged with Camping World they sent out new membership cards. When we received ours it didn't have an expiration date on it. I called Good Sam regarding it and was told "that's the way the cards are now". I tried to get a better answer because I could forsee problems. No dice.
Well, tonight we stopped at a Good Sam park in Idaho - the first Good Sam park since receiving our cards. I showed my card but she explained that because it didn't have an expiration date on it she couldn't accept it.
I explained the answer I received when I called Good Sam. She showed me her paperwork as a park member from Good Sam with a color flyer showing what she should accept in the way of cards. The flyer showed a Good Sam card with an expiration date.
She said because of the confusion she's had with other folks she'll go online to Good Sam and verify that we are, indeed, members - which she did. She printed out this membership expiration date confirmation which she said we should show to a campground as proof of membership. She also advised us to get a card with an expiration date on it.
So Marcus....what can you do for us?
