Good Sam Automatic Renewal

[ROYBUCK]

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.

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.

Where do I find shop safe?

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

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!
Good Sam Club

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
