Here's a thought:

"Final Notice" ought to mean you won't be bothered any more...
Why not call 'em on it?

Maybe if you save this "Final Notice" you can sue them for Breach of Promise if they send you any more!


FK, that's the best response I've heard so far, sounds like you're thinking like a lawyer; res ipsa loquitur!

Some people value their reputation. Don't like folks in the neighborhood thinking that they are getting late notices for something. Think it called "being of good character"!



hmmmm. how in the world would people in a neighborhood know that someone received an envelope marked 'final notice'???
You'd be suprised about the things your mailman knows about you.

the email is worse they always say they got me a new girfriend, a free pizza or a great new job opportunity. If I just take the time to fill out another goofy survey.

Hope people at Good Sam monitor this:
I received a letter today with a large red stamp "Final notice"
It is an advertisement for insurance. Come on guys, you really want to start the gossip in my neighborhood.
I find this type of advertisement offensive.

Where does YOUR mailman live? Can he/she talk? Every one in town knew DD bought a house down the stree. Guess how?

This is the way to do away with unwanted mail from Good Sam.
1- go to goodsamclub.com 2- sign in 3-click my profile 4- click My Communication
5- check what you want and uncheck what you don't want 6- click SAVE
it is that easy.
If I do that, then they'll know who I am here by email address association, and that goofy little man with the hula hoop on his head will haunt my sig.

As long as the email address you use here is different than the one you use at goodsamclub.com, the logo won't show up here. Even if it did, you can disable it in your settings.


No you can't. Atleast not always. I couldn't. Had to get a Admin to get rid of mine.

I'm new to RVing and have been a member of good sam only since september. I've already decided I will not renew when it is due. Their purpose in life appears to be to get as much money from you as they can and they might call ya a tow truck if you need it. The unsolicited dvd is what iced it though. Really bad business in my opinion. Camping world can take a hike too since I discovered they have the same ownership.

Good Sam sends us the best looking direct mail pieces of any company we get mail from. If they want to do it, that is their business. Just throw it out if you don't like it. Their direct mail is soooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the 1,000 political phone calls we will get next year and the 5,000 political TV ads we may see. As long as Good Sam does not start robo calling me I am happy.

This ia the dumbest discussion I've ever seen here. Throw the dang mail out and don't show it to your neighbors if it's offensive to you. Ya gotta lighten up!!

Cheer up!
It's still six more days until the shortest day of the year.
There are bound to be a few more contenders for the "dumbest" title between now and then...

After that, the days start getting longer again, and before you know it-

... SPRING!
