Good Sam has a early renewal offer going on which provides $50 of gift certificates for renewing up to five months before your card expires.This is a fantastic offer but one needs to understand the term of the certificates. They are issued as two $25 certificates that cannot be used on line and can only be used in store. They cannot be used together except for the one day where the one certificate expires and the other goes into affect. Also both need to be utilized within two months of when they are received. The point that I am making is this is a great offer if you can visit a store two times within the two months of when you receive your certificates and they cannot be used on line even though you could renew your card on line. Like I say it is a fantastic offer but I just want everybody to understand the terms of the promotion.

GS clearly explains the offer. The complainers didn’t read the terms.

How is an offer that makes you jump over numerous hurdles and through hoops fantastic?Most people would spend that much in fuel getting to a CW store to use a coupon on something that is overpriced originally.It's like a grocery chain that inflates its grocery prices, then gives you a discount on fuel. Do the math and find you're actually paying more for the fuel than elsewhere.But it works well as stupid people vastly outnumber those with a few brain cells.

I'm really not seeing where this is a great offer? GS will gladly take your money online but, they will not honor their own gift cards from a member online?

It's amazing how some people can complaint about anything. If you don't want to follow a few simple rules, you need not apply. However, many of us live close to a Camping World store and just like any other retailer, some items are reasonably priced and others not so much. Considering the certificates do not cost anything, I see it as a good deal and say THANKS to the OP.Lou05 Travel Supreme Envoy

They have nothing I need right now that I can not find at another retailer.

They didn’t clearly explain the terms to me. They didn’t explain the terms at all to me. They just told me that I was getting merchandise certificates, and nothing else. The first time I learned the terms was after they had taken my money and after I got home and read the certificates that they had sold me. If ever there was a scam, this qualifies. I will bet you that 90% of people do not get what they were led to believe they would get.

P.S. I live over 100 miles from the nearest Camping World so using the certificates under the circumstances required is very unlikely. CW knows that because they have my address in their computer. There is no way I was going to be able to use these “benefits”.

Not a scam. Read my earlier post about how to use the certificates with an online purchase.

For what it's worth: A little bird told me that Camping World (with a worse than 100/1 debt/equity ratio) may be having some severe financial issues in the near future so, . . . . . beware of entering into any long term service contracts with them.

Hum, I wonder if any other businesses have a large debt load. Especially one that is expanding at the rate that CW is expanding.

I think this is how capitalism is supposed to work, I like it. If socialism ever takes hold, we won't need to worry about buying things on line or in stores.

Had a friend that once found a 20 dollar bill in the road. He complained all day that it wasn't a 50.
