As said, different clubs different rules. You should expect though, that with a consistent demonstration of good skill and judgement on your part, and loyalty to one club, that there will be some flexibility. It is my opinion that once you have a hundred or so hours of good experience with the club, on a steady basis, they should be willing to bend the rules. One way, which I used to do long ago, was to maintain currency on the club's most complex aircraft, and then be exempted from the need for checkouts on all simpler ones. This worked fine... unitl one day....
I went to rent the 172RG to take a date flying. It had just gone off the line, so I said "no problem, I'll take a 172 then". The dispatcher then informed me, and my passenger, that I "could not fly the 172". Wrong thing to say.
I excused myself, and had a chat with the chief instructor, which somewhere contained the phrase "that's never going to happen again, right?". He promptly entered my name on a blue card I had never before seen. He told me that upon presentation of this card to any dispatcher, I would not be required to have a checkout. I could rent whatever I wanted without worrying. That problem never reoccurred at that club.
Certainly you would expect a checkout if you were not known at that club, and you should appreciate this opportunity to have your skills assessed AT ANY POINT IN YOUR PILOTING CAREER. Often, when I have to fly someone's aircraft, I ask for a checkout. Sometimes I get one, often there is nobody to do it. When I've had checkouts in the last few years, Either I have had to ask to have the other pilot to go for longer when they have told me I was fine, or in some cases, the instructor has started to ask me to demonstrate things for him to experience. I was once asked (decades later at the same club as before) when I was doing a check out so I could test fly one of their 172's, to demonstrate a roll. "No" was my reply. "...but this plane will do it, won't it?", "Yes, I replied, but not while I'm flying it!"
Until you have a few hundred hours, enjoy the checkouts. The instructor should be using the opportunity to provide you with a few extra hints and skills (but not rolls in a 172!)
