Charged for a Good Sam renewal after you cancelled

Renewal charges after a cancel request show up on Trustpilot as recently as October 2026, and on ComplaintsBoard years before that.

What's going on

People say they called to cancel, got told only auto-renew could be stopped, and were charged anyway. One RV forum poster says cancelling close to renewal costs $50.

Several states, California among them, have auto-renewal laws. Those laws make companies offer an easy way to cancel and give clear notice before a renewal.

Before it happens to you

• File with the BBB and your state attorney general, and name the auto-renewal law if your state has one.
