What You Should Know before Signing Up for Bob Greene's Bestlife Diet Plan

Bob Greene's Best Life Diet Plan is Part of Oprah's Weight Loss Challenge

This is a true story. A month ago I signed up for Oprah's weight loss challenge. I looked at the option of joining Bob Greene's weight loss plan 'The Bestlife' at the time but decided it was not in my budget. I made a go of it on my own. Eventually I decided that I needed some help and went ahead and signed up. This was Ten days ago. I found nothing wrong with the program, but if you had read Bob Greene's books and watched Bob Greene on Oprah enough times, you kinda already go the point. Still the program appears to be solid.

The price however bothered me. Its not that $49.99 a quarter would kill me, but having recently set a household budget, I knew that this did not rank as a priority. Had users had a monthly payment option, there is a chance I would have stayed with it. However, thanks to a good friend, I found a free diet community online that I have to say, I have had great success with in just one week. Therefore, today being the 10^th day from sign up, I decided to go ahead and cancel my trial membership. This is where things got sticky.

I went to the Bob Greene Bestlife website and clicked the cancellation button. I got the following message. "To cancel your account, please call 1.800.324.2846. I sucked my teeth, held my breath and dialed the number. I got the standard hold messages. I was informed that I could use the website for numerous reasons but to cancel I had to hold. A minute passed, and I was politely asked to hold again. After two minutes, I heard once "Our operators are busy. We can be reached for cancellation between the hours of 10-6 Eastern Time. We don't want you to have to hold any longer. CLICK". My call was dropped after 2 ½ minutes! I was astounded. Normally you would get the option to press the button and continue to hold. A caller should have that option, right? Not here!
