I have been a member of DirectBuy of Tinley Park in Illinois since March 2004. On the day that I signed up, I hesitated because, like you, I was being asked to make a decision on the spot. While I was suspicious, I made myself stay for a couple hours after the presentation, after the sales person walked away, to consider exactly what this offer would mean to me. I simply walked around, no high pressure sales people following, and investigated this "great offer." Knowing that I was about to undergo an extensive home remodeling project, it seemed clear that I would recoup my original investment. I signed up, paid the fee in it's entirety so that I would not incur finance charges if I paid over time. Bottom-line, while it was eight months before I made my first major purchase, kitchen cabinets, and my savings were over $18,000. I've made back my original investment. Since I still have more work to do on my home, I fully expect to see more savings. I'm very happy with this decision. This does not keep me from shopping around for the best prices. In the end, I still come back to DirectBuy.
