Variety of Gift Options:   Excellent

One of the most important factors to look for is a variety of gift options, though this might not be important to everyone. If you already know what the perfect gift will be to give every month then you’re probably focused on finding the best deal for that specific club.

However, others like to find a wider variety of monthly gift options available because having more options to choose from ensures a unique and pleasant experience, and often results in finding the perfect monthly gift.

Clubs of America has a total of 8 monthly gift clubs to choose from, which really isn’t too many compared to some of the other club of the month services we reviewed.
On the other hand, the eight gift clubs available are the most popular monthly gift clubs. From flowers and chocolate to beer and wine; you’ll find the basics. They do have one fairly unique club however; the most unique gift club with Clubs of America is the Pizza of the Month Club, the perfect gift for the pizza lover in your life.

Subscription Options:   Excellent

It is very rare to find a gift club that lets you choose the number of months you’d like to subscribe for. While most flexible subscription options are still limited to 3 month increments (but you can choose alternate month delivery) Clubs of America is one resource where you can select a specific number of months. Say you prefer odd numbers; with Clubs of America you can order monthly gift subscriptions for 7 months. That’s pretty cool, isn’t it? Of course, the option to skip a month or two between shipments (ship every other month or ever 3 months) is still there.

Payment Options:   Excellent

You can purchase a monthly gift club with any of the four major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.) Unlike many of the leading competitors, Clubs of America also accepts payment via check.

You can also choose between paying in full (upfront) or making monthly payments-- which is always convenient when you want to "sample the gift quality first" (or just give yourself a gift as well.) And for gift club subscriptions of 12 months or longer there is an instant $25 savings, regardless of how you pay.

Delivery:   Excellent

Gifts ordered through Clubs of America should arrive between the 3rd and 4th week of each scheduled month. The Cigar of the Month Club, Coffee of the Month Club, and Chocolate of the Month Club are the only 3 clubs which can be delivered to PO Boxes.

Value/Quality:   Excellent

Monthly gift quality is more important than originality (that goes without saying). What does need to be said is that all gifts delivered by Clubs of America—or any other monthly gift club—are quality gifts and worth the expense.

However, the real quality does depend on the gift shopper (this could mean you) who chooses that perfect thoughtful gift to give not just once, but several times. For a better idea of the gifts available with each club, you can request to have a catalog sent to you in the mail or even download a .PDF of a catalog.

Customer Care:   Excellent

With a catalog available and shipping included in the cost of gift membership, Clubs of America is off to a good start in offering customer satisfaction. In fact, they also provide the all mighty 100% Satisfaction Guarantee; giving peace of mind to the gift giver.

Should you need to contact anybody with a question or concern, Clubs of America customer service is available through a toll free number (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Central Time) or by filling out an online contact form.

Summary:  

While Clubs of America doesn’t have the strongest variety of options available for gifts, they make up for it with flexible subscription choices and quality customer care. If you’re focused on one of the basic monthly gift clubs, Clubs of America is not to be overlooked! For monthly clubs offering a larger variety of gift options, you might prefer Amazing Clubs, Month Club Store, and Club Offers.
