What do you think some of the pros and cons are to buying an unlimited membership to your salon?

Do you have an unlimited membership? Would you consider buying one?

I have an unlimited membership, going every other day, it pays to buy unlimited. If you would only go once or twice per week, it may not be worth it. You have to price it out.

I always buy 2 months at a time unlimited - it saves me money, I tan every other day so I really get my money's worth.

There are both pros and cons of buying unlimited memberships. Pros are that is it normally the most cost-friendly option if you are a regular tanner. Although in the quest to get your money's worth, people are tempted to tan more than they should. I personally have an unlimted membership which is the most cost-friendly option for me since I tan every other tan. Just figure out what is best for you.

I don't have to pay for my tanning since I work at a salon, but before I worked there I had an unlimited membership. Like hoosays said... it really depends on how much you go.

ditto.

I've bought unlimited and only gone 6 times, or less, but its still cost effective at that point, as singles get expensive.

I offer unlimited and most people take advantage of it. They tan atleast 3x's a week and they are getting their moneys worth.

I am on an unlimited membership at my salon (a 6 month contract) and I find it's a lot cheaper than buying individual minutes or tans. I tan every other day also.

I have a yearly membership that comes out of my checking account each month. It's far cheaper that way and I never have to think about it. I'm a year-round tanner so it makes a lot of sense.

I do monthly ONLY if its a good deal... Like $32. or less. I am a salon hopper, several of the salons I go to offer different monthly specials, Like one I used go to has a month for $20. right now, but I think that once my current membership is out at my current salon which I am not real thrilled with, I am going to go the one I started out at for #30. a month. they have a 10 minute suncapsul, a Dr. Kerns and several base beds I can use for that. Its close to my work so I can tan at lunch, but they are closed on Sundays. I guess Sundays will have to be my field trip tanning days.

I have an unlimited membership. I pay 22.99 a month for mine auto debit. I go every other day and its well worth it.

I get perks..

75% off upgrades
50% rebates back on lotion. Rebates can be used for upgrades. Lotions on sale do qualify and you also get 50% back of the original price.. not the sale price.
Every 12th month is free.

I bought 2 bottles of lotion recently at 40% off. I paid $50 for the two bottles and got rebates back of $42 which I am using for upgrades (that I get 75% off of) Can't beat it!

For this year, I bought one month unlimited, and for the summer, the majority of my tanning will be outdoors, with just single sessions indoor.

I would like to get an unlimited month at my salon but I don't really have the money to right now. They charge $54 for one of those. Right now I can only afford to buy the 5 visit package (which is $27) and I try to make that last for about a week and a half. I would like to shop around and find a cheaper salon but this one has become my second home so it's kind of hard to switch over to something new.
