Why Can't I Do A Monthly Membership For Every Item?

By Erik Rico, CEO of Bat Club USA

One of the most common questions we get at Bat Club USA is: "Why can’t I just pay monthly for any item?" We get it—monthly payments are convenient and allow for more flexibility. But not every piece of equipment fits into a sustainable rental model. Here’s why only select items are available for a monthly rental and how we’ve structured our program to give you the best value.

Our Rental Program: Simple and Affordable

To provide flexibility without overcharging our members, we’ve structured our rental program with flat, predictable pricing:

✅ $35 per month for select rental items
✅ $25 per month for used items

This way, you get access to quality equipment without hidden fees, excessive markups, or long-term financial commitments.

Why Not Every Item Is Available for Monthly Rental

Not all baseball and softball equipment makes sense for a rental model. High-end and newly released products often have limited availability, and allowing rentals on every item would drive up costs for everyone. Additionally, some manufacturers restrict how their products can be offered, preventing us from making certain bats and gear available for monthly payments.

By limiting monthly rentals to select items, we ensure that we can provide an affordable, sustainable option while still allowing members to access top-tier gear through other means.

We understand that not everyone wants to pay upfront, so we offer several ways to make your purchase more manageable:

• 💳 Basic Membership – Our most affordable option with no credit check required. Get access to monthly payments at a discounted rate through Snap Finance, plus 15% off all items, exclusive member-only deals, loyalty rewards, and a free welcome gift. LEARN MORE HERE

• 🏆 HOF Membership (as low as $50/month) – Premium membership that includes up to 4 free express bat switches per year, early access to drops, top-tier discounts, and all the benefits of the MVP Membership. LEARN MORE HERE
  

• 🎯 Bundle Discounts – Combine products like bats and gloves to unlock additional savings on your total bundle and switch fees.

• 💰 Loyalty Rewards Program – Earn points on every purchase and redeem them for gift cards to reduce future costs.

• 🧾 Financing Options – Use SplitIt, Klarna, or other trusted financing partners at checkout to break up payments with no hidden fees.

Our Mission: Making Equipment More Accessible

At Bat Club USA, we’re committed to making premium baseball and softball equipment accessible without the long-term financial burden. Instead of overcharging for monthly payments, we offer affordable rentals on select items and give our members multiple ways to save money on their gear.

If you have any questions about our rental program or want to explore financing options, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help you get the best equipment at the best price—so you can play hard and swing away!
