So, I've been a GNC customer for over a decade, I have spent a ton of money in their stores all over the country. I was a "gold card" member for years, paying for that card ever year. Then, recently they changed to no longer accepting the gold card, but instead would lower prices throughout the entire store. Great idea, which lasted less than a month.
Then, they let you join the "my GNC" where you could accumulate points, which you could use as money off your order, which was great. Until now. Which the changed again, to a "pro" plan for $40 a year! So now, if I want my 500 points, I have to spend $40 to get 5$ off!?
I spent 100$ today on vitamins that I could get anywhere, but I like the idea of supporting a pittsburgh company, but I'm over their marketing programs that all seem to just have you pay a membership that is worthless!
I will be buying all of my supplements from somewhere else. read more
