I was online last night and saw some stuff I'm interested in buying. It shows a regular price of $99 and a "member price" of $65.

Anyone know what the member price is and how I can purchase items at that rate?

Yes. For every order at the low price, you are required to send a pic of your member.

Bodybuilding.com might be a lot cheaper, and it doesn't require a membership.

Look for the products on Amazon where they will be cheaper than their dumb membe price shite.

GNC is only good when it's a brick and mortar store and you need something immediately.

the membership fee is $10 or $20 a year (i can't remember). after I joined I found that costco had some of the same items for even less. if I were you I would check their website for the products you're looking for before buying a gnc membership.

Gnc is way cheaper than anything online online if you watch for stuff nearing the expiration date. When they get within a few months of expiring they mark gnc brand stuff 80% off and other brands 50%. If you find this stuff during a buy one get on free or 50% sale etc you can get tubs of protein for literally a few dollars. This us the only way I purchase my protein.

it's the gold card membership price. I think it's $15 per year for a gold card. very worth it if you often shop at GNC

Gnc changes their prices all the time and it's rarely to benefit the customer. You can do much better at bodybuilding.com or vitamin shoppe. Vitamin shoppe has rewards and discounts off your entire order about every month.

I understand supply and demand but I've seen the same protein but in a different flavor for double the price. I called them and they said it was because they had only a few left so the price was double. You just don't see many retailers doing that plus I don't like places that charge you a membership to get the best price.

This.

I've been a a few times. The last time I bought some stuff that was past expiration.
I returned it and haven't been back.

But it does require a 3-5 day wait.

I only go to GNC when I need something immediately. If you are a Gold Club member, the prices are comparable to bodybuilding.com and GNC actually runs some decent sales/sends good coupons sometimes too.

The only thing I hate about GNC are the sales people. Majority have no idea what they are talking about and just try to push GNC's brand on you.

GNC is expensive as shite. Avoid if possible. Even as a member

You have to look for the little orange price stickers. It will have the month/year it expires and the sale price.

Didn’t they get bought out by the Xicoms? I switched to bodybuilding.com
