Same here.
I finally came to the conclusion that it just doesn't make sense to pay the Preferred Customer fee, shipping fee and then the actual cost of the oil when I can go to Wally World or even Amazon and buy premium oil for less.
I've run a little bit of everything, but as of this weekend, I'm switching to Castrol.
I, too am a PC and will be letting my "membership" expire.
Schaeffer's has free shipping (albeit at $375 and over, easy to make the new stash LOL) and when working through a rep it is about $2 less per quart than Amsoil, for what I've come to see as a better product.
