GNC CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS21-year-old male, Cranberry Township, PA
“I like that the points can be used towards cash back, although I feel like I will likely have to spend more to get the rewards. I like that the prices will remain constant for purchases, regardless of a card or not. I am unsure if I will still get ‘exclusive’ benefits or not.”
21-year-old female, Greensboro, NC“The rewards program seems to be better for the customer. The employees explained that it was free and that the rewards were no longer random but depending on the amount of points the customer had and what they purchased. It was really easy to get.”
25-year-old female, Opelika, AL
“It seems like the new program really is benefiting all ranges of customers due to the rewards per dollar. The original rewards program really only seemed to benefit those that spent a lot of money on supplements, thus did not help me a ton due to the types of products I typically purchase. This new program does benefit me which is a wonderful change…Not only was I excited about the new rewards program, but the employees were visibly excited as well.”
27-year-old female, Long Beach, CA
“With the Gold Card you paid $15 each year…each time I entered the store my membership expired (and) I had to pay them $15 cash to get my membership discounts and privileges. With the GNC Rewards program you don't have to pay for it at all; it's open to anyone now and that's awesome because sometimes paying for the membership kept me from renewing. I am an avid GNC shopper and have been for years and I'm very glad they've upgraded the membership.”

GNC CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS28-year-old female, Rochester, NY
“I am excited about the new GNC reward program! I think it is great that they give a free birthday gift and also $5 back after 150 reward points. I am considering purchasing the pro program because I purchase a lot of whey protein. I could benefit from ordering online now and getting free shipping. For $39.99 a year, I think it's a plus to get free samples, coupons, and new products in the mail. Not to mention the insider line. The person I spoke to in GNC said that they give nutritional advice, which is awesome.”
29-year-old male, Kennesaw, GA
“I think it's nice for the fact that everyone can take advantage of it now. But at the same time you don't feel that exclusive member part of the experience where you knew that since you had that gold card you were special and getting the best deals compared to non-members. Also, now instead of saving at the register you have to save rewards in order to take advantage of it another day.”
29-year-old female, Valencia, Ca
“The employee was beyond knowledgeable (about the rewards program), which was very helpful, but also a little time consuming to listen to all the details. I think my attitude is positive.”
31-year-old female, Union, NJ
“I like that with the annual fee I would get free shipping, a customized pro box based on my purchases 3 times a year, and I get to choose my sale days! I love that!”

GNC CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS35-year-old male, Norfolk, VA
“I think once I start to use it then I might see the benefit of the program, but having been a gold card member and seeing the significant cost savings right away I was more drawn to being a member even with the yearly cost. I am familiar with many points programs so I am not totally against it…and I did notice that prices on a lot of products were brought down even with the removal of the member - nonmember pricing, I have yet to truly see the benefits like you did with the instant savings. I am hopeful though and I am excited about this birthday gift as one of the benefits!”
42-year-old female, Stanhope, NJ
“Looking forward to great savings without a yearly fee. I will spend more.”

41-year-old female, Temple, TX
“I am happy that it's free now with the option to upgrade to premium. I like that I can choose to get $5 cash back automatically or bank my points. I actually chose to bank my points so that I don't forget to get them by checking email.”
45-year-old female, Greenwood, INI'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I paid $20 for a two-year membership last year, and while I got my money back in extra savings, I'm not sure how this is going to work. We'll see.

The one agent who responded "a little worse": “I think I can speak for a lot of people when you want a better deal immediately instead of having to collect rewards to match what we were paying the whole time.”

Agent TESTIMONIAL25-year-old female, Opelika, AL
“I LOVE the new single price products and feel that they are more welcoming to all customers and not discriminating against those customers that were not gold members. I can earn rewards at my own pace, and the double point items are exciting. The employees are typically very well informed about products; this paired with excitement about the new program created a wonderful atmosphere in the store. It feels like a different store.”
