I bought the Good Sam Roadside assistance last year for the first time. I thought it was reasonably priced. I never authorize automatic renewals on any subscription and it's a good thing I didn't. Apparently, they are not loyal to loyal customers. Renewals cost about twice what new sign-ups pay. When I called to see what I could do to get a better price, I was surprised to learn that that my credit card had already been charged the high renewal price A MONTH BEFORE MY OLD MEMBERSHIP EXPIRED. The first person I spoke to offered to give me a credit of $26, but I was so frightened by these shady business practices that I insisted on a full refund. Very disappointing...
This reminds me of the GS membership drives that are always sending out renewal notices even though my memberships will be good for many months. It's just dirty marketing but normal business for Markus.
The one I received last week did it for me. After this flagrant attempt to get me to renew way before I need to I looked at the pathetic magazine quality and realized it just isn't worth it anymore.
So I'm done with GS.
