Good Sam Automatic Renewal

I was checking my Checking account on the web site this morning, as I do every morning. I noticed a $1.00 charge to my account by Good Sam not authorized by me, I called them they said that is a charge they charge for checking your credit card for automatic renewal before it expires. I stated I don't have a automatic renewal and I haven't authorized one and if you have me down for automatic renewal cancel it now, I don't have a automatic renewal on any card I own This is the second time they have had me down for a automatic renewal that I did not authorize. They should not be able to charge your card to any thing unless they contact you. My Vent is over. Have a good day.

    How did you first sign up for Good Sam?
    There is/was a discount for allowing automatic renewal.
    Did ou pay the full rate or the discounted rate?
    Full is $25.00 per year.
    Auto renewal is $22.00.

    This Charge as I was told was for them to check your credit card to make sure it is good before your automatic renewal comes up for renewal. I have never had a automatic renewal and don't intend to have one, I call my renewal in when it is due, I was told the $1.00 charge is for people with the automatic renewal. I have had a Good Sam card for 14 years no problems in the past for a fee. Roy

    Good morning!
    ROYBUCK, we have reviewed your account and it appears that the automatic renewal is attached to your Good Sam Roadside Assistance account. A member of the Roadside Assistance team will be contacting you regarding your membership. Your Good Sam Club membership is not on the Automatic Renewal program.

    Thanks and Have a Great Day!

    Usually there is a first hit on a card to check if it is good but usually pending. Actually money not taken out. However, that is why I use shop safe. Number goes dead after use. I have had nothing but problems with some companies. Not only GS. They just assume tooooo much and think they are doing there customers a favor by renewing automatically. When these things happen the best thing is to call credit card company and indicate fraud on your card. Most companies figure that out quickly.

    I believe it's only Bank of America and MBNA that offer it.
