Sportsman's Warehouse

Hey Bob,  what did you mean by "retarded policy for supporting Veterans."   
    were you referring to Bass Pro Shops or Sportsmans ?   
   
   I'm asking cuz I don't know what policy either one of them have / or had.   And at least in the Davis / Weber counties area, where there are alot of prior service veterans and active duty, and I know lots of us buy lots of supplies (fishing, hunting, camping, shooting) from the SW in Riverdale.   If their policy is changing with their buy out by BPS, I sure would like to know what that policy will be.    Thanks. 

I was referring to BPS.  Before the buyout of Cabelas by BPS, Cabelas started a program that gave Veterans a discount for on-line purchases.  They always had one for in-store purchases.  Almost immediately after the buyout by BPS, that on-line discount was discontinued.  I immediately cut up my 20+ year Cabelas Signature credit card and closed that account and told BPS why.  No response at all.  I don't know what the BPS Policy on Veteran Discounts is today and really don't care.  I have no desire to start shopping BPS/Cabelas again as their prices are higher and quality is lower than I can find on-line and at other shopping venues.

SW has had a Veterans discount as long as I can remember - 5% I believe.  It has never been available for on-line purchases, but I can order it on-line and have it delivered to my closest store (Riverdale, UT).  I then go into the store to pick it up and immediately turn it back in for a full refund and then immediately buy it again and show my military ID card for the discount.  I just hope that the asinine approach to taking over ownership of SW isn't the same asinine approach used when BPS took over ownership of Cabelas.

I hope this clarifies it for you.
