Unauthorized credit card charges

What the hell are you doing? I don't renew my membership until around late April. You just charged my credit card for $109.95 on 2/22/2018 without my permission. If I hadn't checked my bank accounts I would have been past due. You tried this little trick earlier on son's Good Sam account. I called GS and they took it off and I told them to delete the credit card number. Are you so desperate for money? I just talked with Jeff #2016 at GS services and he said that he would reverse the charges and delete the credit card number, but he couldn't send me a confirming email. Do I have to go through this again with my wife's membership? How about somebody in management contacting me to discuss the ongoing problem! I usually pay by check, but sometimes call it in.

    I am lost as how charging your credit card can overdraw your checking account? Enlighten me?
  • Thanks for all the replies. I usually pay by check, but last year had to pay by credit card to expedite receiving cards. See my 2017 topic.
  • Companies do this, and also banks. They gladly reverse charges, but think of how many people don't catch this or don't make the call! See how this works?

  • If you used a CC last year the small print says they will auto charge the CC this year. Doesn't say when.

    That is why I pay by check on the RV road Help as the same small print is on it.
    That check is only one of the 2 I write out every year.
  • Did you authorize auto payment from your card? If so, they can charge for the next year when they want to.
  • Hello nomad2013,

    Thank you for your time, I apologize for the experience you have had with your credit card being charged. I will look into this further and call you.
    Please provide your contact number in a private message.

    Thank you,

  • “You just charged my credit card for $109.95 on 2/22/2018 without my permission”

    So you REread all that fine print in the original agreement and it said what about renewal charges? And when? Based on the agreement you made 2 or 3 years ago I’ll bet they had your permission. Welcome to the real world.
