I left Godaddy several years ago after they pissed me off. I wanted to transfer some domains to them, paid for the transfer then the transfer didn't go through. Basically they said since the domains were within 30 days of renewal they couldn't transfer them. No problem. But the didn't refund my money. They just gave me a credit. So they didn't do what I wanted, couldn't do what I wanted, and kept my money. Fantastic.

So I decided to transfer the domains away from godaddy and a couple of them they forced me to renew with them before I could transfer them. So I had to pay twice basically.

It wasn't a lot of money, maybe $60-$75 but the idea of how they worked pissed me off.
