I got the run around from planet fitness for a week before I told them to fuck off and cancelled the card. Still haven't seen a hit to my credit or even a collection letter permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rooster326@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago (1 child) But they're always out there, waiting, watching. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) Yall obs have no exp w gyms. They all have a clause that says if you move they'll cancel it. Print out generic lease, make address 1234 looney toons, Canada (or as i call it, gay america). Its then canceled. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rooster326@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) They do not all have that clause, and why would they? Planet Fitness exists like all over the world permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 1 point 4 months ago Hmm you may be right. Works for other gyms tho. Theyvdo becauae military orders let you cancel just about any housing or gym contract so most gyms lean into that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) AMEX specifically does this. I had so many problems managing a corporate account with them because dumb salespeople would sign up for bad subscription services they wouldn't cancel. I'd change their Amex number but they would still carry over the charges from the card we'd deactivated for fraud/theft. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kungen@feddit.nu 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) Even if you remove those places from the "Express List"? But yeah, that sounds typical, they like getting the transaction fees and such. And should you get them to do a chargeback, they take the money back from the merchant as well. It's a win-win to screw you over. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago They love to give you your money back temporarily and then quietly rule against you and take it back. permalink fedilink source parent
