No, it isn't; at least not as far as I know. I had no problems ordering it online from amazon. Ordering directly from the company might be different, I'm not sure.

I joined as an "associate" wwhichis the most affordable way to get products. I don't remember there being a member fee, but if you are interested I can get you started for very reasonable fee , especially as compared to other products.It is by far the easiest and most pleasant method I have tried. Nutritional cleansing is what it does!

Yes there are a LOT of fees. Look it up on their website. I paid nearly $300 in contract and subscription fees just to get fed up with this grossly unreliable piece of junk and toss it into my saddlebag. If you want an electronic device to save you and bring the cavalry running, you're wasting your money on Spot. I bought it for my Alaska motorcycle trip. What a useless piece of junk. Always shutting off. Always disconnecting. DON'T BOTHER! And I'm an IT professional - I DO have a clue.

It is a membership that allows extras. Such as free games. I signed up for a free trial and it does not seem necessary. If you have a big gamer in your family then yes. Some games I think you have to have it. There is a fee $69 a year I think. You will have to have a Microsoft account for XBOX. Easy set up with a different e-mail. Im not a gamer at all my son is so if I can do it most anybody can. Microsoft website is really informative to.

Have never used OnStar; I am using initial service; I read that to have availabilty of more frequent updates than the free annual, then there is a subscription charge.

No fee. Mine is tied in with my alarm system and for that I pay a fee. The perk to tying it in with the alarm is my ability to unlock it from my phone. The code to unlock it works no matter what.

There was not a monthly fee when I purchased this in 2011. I recall the minutes being expensive, but when you are overseas, it's to be expected. When minutes got low it prompted me to buy more in $5.00 increments, which was a good feature.

Sorry i have no idea how the gold membership works only that it is paid. I would think if you and your dad are playing this remotely from 2 different locations that both would need a membership but just a guess.

John, not that I am aware of. I have had the Approach for about eight months; so perhaps next Spring I'll receive a surprise email asking for some kind of renewal. However, nothing was ever mentioned about any renewal fees in the literature I read prior to making the purchase. And I have found that Amazon is very good about such disclosures. Have a great Holiday Season. Jim

There is currently no fee but in SmartThings Kickstarter they said there would be and in the terms of service they say "SmartThings reserves the right to require payment of fees for certain features of the Services."http://www.smartthings.com/terms/

I dont' pay anything. I think the only way you have to pay a monthly fee is if you use there cloud for storage of your documents. I store them on my PC so I don't pay anything. Hope that helps

They don't require a promo code. You automatically get three free months when you sign up--no code needed.

When I originally bought my machine with this module included, I had one year to use the service. After that it would have required a fee to continue using it. It depends on exactly what comes with the module you are buying.

Hi. First 30 days are free than you need to pay a subscription fee of about $15 a month.

it is a monthly membership. if you don't have it - you cannot play the game... AT ALL! would have been nice to know that before we bought it.

No. When you buy this item and you get it all that is required is that you call the number on the box and activate it, then you go to the website and register it, and finally you pay $50 for your first month. Then you are good to go.

YES there IS a $5.00 add on to the fee...14.95 for basic service. If you want to use the app to track it is 19.95!

No yearly fee. - but don't buy it - price is right - but the product and it's use are horrible. I have had a month of grief and just sent it back. Best unit is a Golf Buddy. Garmin is not accurate. Good luck
