I just want to alert everyone to track the deposits versus fees for these. Because this spring, they changed how they input those that join online at the end of the month. At least this was their excuse for missing the enrollment and card fee for someone who joined online at the end of April. Make sure you are paid the enrollment fees you are owed!
Regarding their $15 finders fee...it's not just this. It's the $20 card fee (and $10 for each additional) that they keep. The card fee alone should be enough that they don't need to charge this finder's fee. It's a convenience to members and they said quite a while ago that it was added because of the "disengaged owners". But it's another stream of cash for corporate and I do feel the $15 fee we pay and the loss of card revenue is excessive. I wish they would have some concern about our financial strength. Since they don't, I expect when the 10 year agreements start to expire, we will see clubs closing left and right...unless something changes for the positive. Right now, it's just a struggle to stay in it, mentally and financially.
