The Verizon data/MiFi plan really isn't that good of a deal. It requires you to have 2 years of advance membership in FMCA to even start it with Verizon. So say for example you just joined for a year with FMCA, you would have to buy 2 more years of membership (over $150) to get the Verizon plan that in our case would have saved us about $18.00 a month.

If a true tire discount is the only real benefit then I will probably let my membership expire, wait 4 years until I am about ready for tires and renew for 1 year.

If you are into social stuff like joining local chapters, meetings, rallies, stuff like that then they can provide all that sort of stuff it looks like.

I would agree about the Verizon plan not being such a great deal. If you have been following the AT&T Mobley threads, they had a plan that only cost $20/month. Mobley may not be the best device out there, but it is sufficient for most users.

We are long time AT&T customers and I will keep them for as long as I can considering their customer service is the best of the big 4 cell carriers and they are less expensive than Verizon. I also get a very nice 24% discount from my previous employer (where Verizon and Sprint only offered 15% and T-Mobile offered none.)

No surprise about the fine print. The same can be said about most of these organizations, hence the experience comments.
