I should probably go to the website and find out how to stop those too.

Instead of just hanging up on the calls, if you listen to most or all of it, it tells you how to opt out. I think you press 4, but I can't remember.
I never opted out of either the email or phone as its been very, very beneficial for me....I don't want to miss anything...like upgrading to ambassador for $300, selling my current Diamond/Alaska membership for $500 and getting 5 Legacy and 10 Patriot memberships for free. (net $200 and 15 memberships to do with as I wish!)
Incidentally, I get a an email about every day (not like I don't already get a bunch of insurance, Viagra, and other spam anyway....I check it real quick to make sure there is nothing I'm not aware of, then delete it. Takes all of 10 seconds unless there is something new.
As far as the phone calls, they are rare...so maybe I'm on a different phone list or or people are complaining about an occasional call.
In any case, I have so gotten my money's worth since sinking several thousand into my first membership (before all of the promotions), that if the place closed tomorrow I would miss it, but wouldn't for a second think I got screwed.
What really cracks me up is, that even though a person can get a membership so cheap now, they would break even taking only one class.....ahead of the game taking thier second class....they still don't do it to see for themselves....they just talk crap about Piazza and Front Sight.
I think the marketing is over the top too...but we hear the same complants about the NRA. But the reality is that advertising is time consuming and costs money. If it didn't work, they wouldn't do it. And if it's working, then the place will be healthier with more members. I want the place healthy. So, I got no problem with their aggressive advertising. Whatever works.
