In recent years, the prepaid consumption pattern has been widely criticized by people. Fitness, hairdressing and other industries have always been the hardest hit areas in this pattern, and illegal acts such as operators rolling money and running away are common, even worse under the epidemic.
Recently, the reporter received a complaint from consumers that Welsh Fitness claimed that it was forced to charge the difference when transferring the membership card, but it was not mentioned in the contract. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Wales Fitness said in an interview that the object of the renewal meeting will not produce a "price difference" for members, and Wales Fitness has already made a free transfer to consumers.
The reporter found that the above consumer complaints are not a case. In recent years, consumers have complained about Welsh fitness due to problems such as card refund. At the same time, although Welsh fitness boasts a high-end position in the fitness industry, it has been repeatedly punished by administration in recent years. In recent two years, he was given an administrative penalty for "operating without a public health license" and "arranging employees without valid health certificates to engage in direct customer service" 10.
In this regard, the famous economist Song Qinghui said in an interview with China Finance. Com believes that the oversold annual card (prepaid card) model such as Welsh Fitness will easily lead to consumer disputes once the business behavior is not standardized and the after-sales service is not in place. Their main purpose is to lock in customers and maximize their own interests. Song Qinghui also admitted that the prospect of this model is not optimistic, and consumers need to be more cautious.
