Hey folks

I just got an e-mail from the NWTF stating that if you join or renew your NWTF membership you will receive a 25.00 Bass Pro gift card. Remember, if you are going to the convention in Feb. and you are a member, admission is free. Just a headsup !

 Just sent my check last week.
No trees were hurt in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were highly inconvenienced.

Must be struggling for members.

Sounds like a deal, but I'll still pass.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

 As high priced as BPS is, $25.00 won't buy much.

  If you found 25.00 on the sidewalk would you leave it laying there ? 

If it cost $30 to pick it up then yes I would

Help me with the math here.  An annual membership in the NWTF is $30 and for that you get a $25 gift card? That's only good at one place?
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

Rebates, Discounts, Freebies, and other "Gimmicks" have one purpose and one purpose only.  To help move a Product or a Service that a "Business" has a hard time trying to "Move". 

If the NWTF is giving away a Bass Pro $25 Gift Card for every $30 membership then that tell me that the NWTF is "HURTING" BIG TIME for Membership.  They may have a deal with Bass Pro to get discounted gift cards but WOW is this a HUGE GIMMICK on their part to bolster their membership numbers.  No matter what you may believe.  This is purely a "Business Move" on their part. 

I will pass and use my $30 on buying a $30 Gift Card from LL Bean or Mack's Prairie Wings or Midwest Turkey Call Supply or Rogers or better yet..... one of the great call makers affiliated with this great site!

Don't think you need any help with the math. I was kinda directing that post to the folks that was planning on going to the convention in Feb. Just trying to do a good deed.

Interesting. JMO but I can't think of too many businesses that don't at some point offer a gimmick to get you to join, or buy their product or come into their store. Whether its a free phone with a contract, a flyer with sale items, some fishing tackle or a hat to even a gift card. They all do it at some point in time. I guess they are all hurting big time. Tell that to Rogers and Bell here in Canada that just spent a billion dollars to buy a sporting franchise. They must be really hurting they gave me a free phone upgarde in a gift card to get me to re-up for a contract.

Hey vaturkey, most people probably appreciate what you put up whether they chose to join or not.  There always seems to be ONE individual wherever you are or whatever you do that will find fault with anything!

Thanks for the info,

Kevin

Yep, that's me.  Sorry, I have a problem spending $30 to get $25.  Go figure.
