Guitar Center String Club
A couple of weeks ago, a young cashier at my favorite chain store talked me into signing up for Guitar Center's string club. This is how it works:
1. Pay 20 dollars for a one year membership
2. Every month for a year you get 5 dollars to spend on strings in the store.
5 dollars a month x 12 months = 60 dollars a year in strings - 20 dollars in membership cost= 40 DOLLARS IN FREE STRINGS a year
I used my first 5 dollars in February to buy a 3 pack of D 'Adarrio strings for 9.99- 5.00= 4.99
They did not ask for an id when I signed up. Will they ask for one when I sign up again under a different name at a different store? We will have to find out if they ask for my ID when I use my first membership card for the month of March. Then I will decide if I should invest in more string club memberships under different aliases.

Just think, if I invest 200 dollars, I will have 400 dollars in free strings every year!
My usual 3 for 10 pack of strings cost per set of strings, including the 20 dollar year charge would be:
(20.00/12)+9.99-5.00= 2.22 per pack of D 'Adarrio strings
Not a bad deal, considering most people pay 5 bucks or more for a single pack! This is what is going to keep me from buying strings off of Chinese websites!
