ftrainwill said:Anybody able to use this on Ultra/Super Clubs?
The Costco deal specifically states that it excludes the ultra/super clubs. unfortunately, NYC only has the Ultra/Super Clubs.

I would like to know this also...the closest club by me is a Super Club

They are building 2 additional (3 total) 24 Hour Fitness gyms in NYC. Unfortunately they're all Super Clubs. Has anybody managed to combine the Costco deal and pay the difference for the Super Club membership?

There was a craigslist posting of a 24 Hour Fitness employee that was able to sign people up for an annual memberships at a discounted price. I'm leaning towards the notion that its a scam, but would be interested in it if a member on this board went that route sucessfully.

When I redeemed the cert for a membership the manager said there was a plan to change the offer from 2 years to 1 for the same price because the offer was "too good" (the computer listed both membership options, which is why the topic came up). TBD on whether they'd still follow through with this in the current economy, but an FYI for anyone still considering this.

Thanks

Ask Costco for the Pro Rated amount back.

I believe you are locked in.. I doubt Costco will return prorated amount once you have activated the membership. Anyone tried that yet?

I also want to clarify this once before jumping in. I find it hard to beleive that so many people on this forum have committed to a 2 year gym membership without an opt-out clause.

This deal looks especially hot since my school subsidizes $100/year for gym membership since we don't have a gym on campus.Many of us used to organize group FW signups at 24 Hour Fitness.

I negotiated a $650 3 year plan with $50 renewals in the bay area, I think some other groups got it even lower.

AudioFeen310 said:This really doesn't shine any light on the situation. The membership described in your posting is for the actual Costco membership. As for the latter portion of the policy, this hardly falls under merchandise. Short of anyone trying this out and posting actual results, this won't be resolved with a simple reading of the return policy. Since this is a gift certificate, I think it would be a tough task. How's this any different then say, buying a prepaid movie ticket, then coming back to Costco saying you want your $7.50 back because the movie was terrible? Still worth a try if you're that dissatisfied, I just wouldn't get my hopes up.

From Costco Web Site
Returns

Membership: We will refund your membership fee in full at any time if you are dissatisfied.

Merchandise: We guarantee your satisfaction on every product we sell with a full refund. The following must be returned within 90 days of purchase for a refund: televisions, projectors, computers, cameras, camcorders, iPOD / MP3 players and cellular phones.

I agree. 24HF takes the certificate from you when you activate the membership. So there is nothing that you can return back to Costco once you activate.. Costco definitely will not give you back the money without the original certificate!

FairlightRacing said:I was paying about $37 a month for membership at 24 Hour. I took this in and they put my account on indefinite hold and made a new one for me with this deal. So for the next two years I'm only paying $12.50 a month essentially.

After the two years is up I can reactivate my old account. This works out nicely as I can take advantage of the savings and not have to sign up as a new member (with the enrollment/initiation fees) down the line.

they generally charge you some min $$ to keep ur account on hold, rite?

With the costco account, you can put it on hold indefinitely at no charge. I did it for four months and picked up like it was no big deal.

Has anyone tried to buy these certificates on eBay and use them?

They are currently $275 for 2 years, and it's BIN so you should be able to get 8% bing.com CB.
