opinions on Team Performance membership?
Greetings,
Are there any Team Performance (the buying club at www.performancebike.com) members out there? If so, would you mind commenting on your impressions of the club? Worth it? I've been considering joining and was curious as to what others thought. Thanks for reading, Matt Hoyle -- ---------------------------------------------- Matt Hoyle (remove the Z's to reply) |

Typically, I let my membership lapse, but then renew it just before a major purchase (a purchase over $200 will pay for the cost of a year's membership). They also supposedly have some "members only" sales, but I don't know if they're really better than the regular sales prices. -- ~_-* ....G/ \G http://www.CycliStats.com CycliStats - Software for Cyclists |

Yes, the members-only sales were one of the things I was curious about. Thanks again, Matt -- ---------------------------------------------- Matt Hoyle (remove the Z's to reply) |

I've been considering joining and was curious as to what others thought. Thanks for reading, Matt Hoyle I've been a member for several years and I like what it offers. Your main decision should be based on whether or not you'll spend $200 a year in purchases. It's also nice to have the two day shipping upgrade. Once I decide I want something, I want it now! 8) You have to watch out for the Team only sales, though. I've gotten some good deals through them, but I've also seen cases where you pay MORE than you would as a regular buyer. Don't assume that because it's a Team only item that it's a good deal.

Chuck Davis Thanks for the reply, Chuck. As things are now, I'm pretty sure I'll spend $200 a year for the next year (at least).

Typically, I let my membership lapse, but then renew it just before a major purchase (a purchase over $200 will pay for the cost of a year's membership). It can be worth it if you spend more than that a year. Sometimes you get a spot discount on a major item if you sign up at the same time, which can pay for the membership and then some. I found it worthwhile once, but I rarely spend that much on bike stuff anymore, especially all in one place. If you have close friends who are cyclists too, one of you can get the membership and order stuff for the others. This saves on shipping too. The shipping upgrade could be worthwhile, but I live within a day of where Performance ships from anyway. Last time I placed an order late at night, it arrived the very next day, with regular shipping. They also supposedly have some "members only" sales, but I don't know if they're really better than the regular sales prices. That's a good question. In the past the members-only sales were definately better, but these days they send out flyers with every order with the same kinds of deals on them. As with many things, YMMV. Matt O. |

Yes, the members-only sales were one of the things I was curious about. Thanks again, Matt The members-only sales sometimes have good deals, but the accruing of points is what paid off for me. I buy often and let my points accrue for a couple of years---I ended up getting a bike rack to hold my two bikes for the cost of shipping only. |

I really do enjoy the upgraded shipping, cause I don't like to wait. The special sales they have just seem to be advanced regular sales so far But the good thing is I've already made back my $20, so it seems worth it so far. |

I let my membership lapse when a) I eased off on the volume of my purchases, b) I started finding other, cheaper sources for things I wanted (even with the points), and c) Performance increasingly didn't have exactly what I was looking for.
