What kind of plans does your LDS have for frequent divers?

Just wondering, as my LDS had a very good plan which they are discontinuing :(. ($99 per year got me free refills, 10 to15% off purchases & discounts on classes.) Hopefully I’ll hear a good plan, which I can suggest to replace their existing.
I am guessing by free refills, you mean on rentals. Many of our shops have unlimited refills in a 24 hr period but most if not all have shortened their business hours. [I live in Hawaii and do most of my diving on the other side of the island (2 hr drive) so a few hours matter.] A couple of shops have standby dives for free when there is space, plus 50% off charters for $200/year.
 
My main shop taught me how to use the O2 and Nitrox banks and gives me a discount on fills for doing it myself. I've spent enough money there that they let me run a tab for a couple months at a time. I haven't decided if that's beneficial to me yet. Convenient for sure, but it stings to clear it off and I never realize the damage I'm doing until it's too late. The next one has regs, a light, and a bunch of miscellaneous gear on it, so that'll be fun.

Sweet, I gotta pick up some new gear. I'll tell 'em to put it on Helodriver's tab. :D

You could probably fill a set of doubles with trimix and it would get lost in the mix. I think I have a drysuit repair invoice on there too
 
Actually I'm pretty happy that my shop hasn't offered me a running tab. I don't think it would end well for me financially!
