Poor customer service on new programs

I have been a member since May 01, 1986. That's quite a long time. My current membership does not expire until Oct 31, 2015, over a year away. Now you are offering a new "Swipe & Save" membership card, but, I would have to renew /extend my membership now in order to receive the new card.
That is crummy service for your long time members. Why do you not just send a card, as a courtesy/added free benefit to members whose membership does not expire for over a year? Yes, I understand your marketing theory, but, at some point all it does is tick off long time, faithful members.
Don't expect me to renew my Good Sam membership again, so just save the money on your mailers and that includes my Roadside Assistance.

    Makes sense to me. What good is a marketing tool if you simply give it away to everyone?

    BTW, the "Swipe and Save" benefits have been given FREE by Flying J for years with their loyalty card. It was previously called "Real Value Rewards" or something along that line. I have had the card for many years.

    Somehow Good Sam convinced Flying J to drop their own FREE card and make it only available through Good Sam. Funny thing is that I had a Flying J store manager hand me a Good Sam brochure and tell me it was free. I suggested they call the toll free number and find out for themselves.

    I really think Flying J/Pilot is going to regret this when all their non-RV customers revolt.
  • Why don't you tell us all what you're going to do for this customer?
