Renewal solicitations need expiration date

Hi GS.

If you want me to respond to your solicitations to renew, think about telling us when it expires.

Otherwise they'll keep landing in the shredder until I get one saying "expired".

Realistically I think your marketing team has done the math and you gain more from premature renewals than you lose on all the repeated postage.

I have done the math on my side and it's your paper and postal meter. :W

  • If the renewal request doesn't have the expiration date on it, I toss it also. Some day they'll send me one that says expired, we want you back, here's a better offer.... The NRA started sending them out about 6 months after I renewed for 5 years. Sheesh.

    Same with AAA, every magazine in the world, etc, etc, etc!
  • Hello Ductape, thank you for your time, I will be glad to check into the expiration date of your membership. If you wish, please send me a private message with your contact information and I will check this. Also, I will pass on your suggestion regarding the "offer expires date" to the correct department.

    Thank you,
    Ella

  • Thanks for that, I will look when I get back to where the card is. I'm suggesting it would be nice to print on the offer "expires (date)". That would be customer friendly.

    PS I looked at my account online and could not find expiration date either.
  • Doesn't your card have the expiration date on it?

    Mine does.
