Had a 22 year old come in yesterday with one of these cards. I asked him some details about the program, from a consumer stand point. Here's how the program works...
As part of their insurance plan they can add on the gym option. This enables them to work out at multiple fitness centers for $100/month. No I'm kidding, it's $50/month. Haha, thought that was true? No, it's actually $25/month. So help me understand the logic behind why we would do this
- The member can pay our higher price, or the lower $25/month price. In addition they can use all sorts of other clubs.
- We only get paid if the swipe their access card, and only $2 each time they access the club with a max of something like $18/month.
- Decide they want to go somewhere else for the month? We collect $0 and have to pay Snap a $35/month administration fee and a monthly member maintenance fee. In other words we've paying for the privilege of having that person as a member.
- Are we notified by snap if the person isn't active and it's costing us money to have them as a member? Surely that $35/month administration fee gets us some sort of administration. Nope. It's basically a surcharge. (ie a charge for doing nothing)
