I ran in to this same *** yesterday. A valid credit card should be enough.

Planet Fitness has many bad reviews in regards to people wanting to cancel their membership and I can see why; really- you need my credit card number AND my routing/checking account number for $10 a month? When I asked why they couldn't put the 'sign up' fee and the 'monthly fee' on a credit card, no one was able to give me a satisfactory, intelligent response. The more I thought about it, the more it didn't make sense. I ended up going to New York Sports Club and signed up there instead.

It costs a bit more, but it was a MUCH nicer facility, they were happy to have me on board, and only needed my credit card number. See ya!

Reason of review: Problems with payment.

Location: Redwood City, California

Do the math... Your complaint, 7 million members. What's your problem?!

"...you need my credit card number AND my routing/checking account number for $10 a month. "

The checking account is the primary source for the auto deduction of monthly dues.

A back-up credit card (non debit) is requested but not required.

It's called secondary billing, that in the event your primary billing has a snafu, like insufficient funds or you close your account, the secondary billing kicks in so that your account remains current, or with no interruption, and you don't keep incurring multiple bank overdraft fees at $35 a pop. That can really add up.

This is supposed to help the member save money... And guess what, it actually does!

What kind of answer do you expect to get from minimum wage employees. It's just company policy choice.

7 million members have no problem. Gee gosh, when you write a check or checks, those numbers are out there, unprotected in an envelope, in.a cash drawer at Kmart, you use your CC at the gas pump once a week and you are 100 times more vulnerable there than you are with a monthly auto deduction from.PLANET FITNESS, your insurance, gas, cell and cable bill. Get real.

People here complain because they agreed to a simple agreement they no longer want to abide by. I get cursed at because people do not take responsibility for what they agreed to.
