Me too.

Another option is to shop Cabelas. Way better customer service and caring attitudes. I shopped BPS once in Grapevine when it 1st opened. I picked up a few items and then went to pay for them in cash and the guy running the register asked me for my phone #. I told him there wasn't any reason you should need that, especialy since I was paying in cash. He insisted again, and I left the items on the counter and walked out.

I have been a happy Cabelas customer ever since.

Also Bank of America is there credit card Co. You are suppose to get 1% on all purchase,2% at bps store,4% bps brand.They just do the 1% .I called them on this. MBA did a better job when they had Bass Pro credit card service.

You have to call the 800 # and tell then to stop mailing the coupons.

+1 for cabelas...die bass pro!

I called Bass Pro to tell them to stop sending vouchers and they still do I've lost over 100 bucks and finally got fed up with their keniving ways so when i get points i use them right way.

I don't shop there anymore, they have the same old stuff and are always behind on new product.Academy, and Tackleware House,have mostly everything i need.Plus some other web site's.It's easier too have it ship to your door and alot of times cheaper than driving...

Where do you look at your points? I put a lot on my BPS card and should probably be wetching the points better than I do.

on the basspro website under my account

I called and got off the program. They had hit me for $450+. They gave the points back to me also. She also extended my expiration to March '08. If you make 1 purchase a year none of them expire.

I've been following this thread for a little while now and thought I'd chime in.

BPS rewards program is basically giving you free money. I don't know of any other sporting goods store that offers such a program. Academy certainly doesn't reward you for spending your money there. Cabelas doesn't either. It seems to me that folks are being a little petty about this. If BPS chooses, in affect, to give you money as a reward for spending money there then they certainly have every right to say you have to use it before a certain date or it expires. After all, it isn't your money. You're not entitled to it. You received merchandise worth the total amount of the money you spent. BPS has simply chosen to reward you for spending your money at their store.

I spend a good deal of money at BPS, in part because the do offer the rewards program. If they chose to GIVE me money just for spending money there then I don't have any trouble playing by their rules to get it.

Bottom line - "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth."

I mainly shop at Academy, but don't hesitate to go to BPS when the whim hits me. Academy is MUCH cheaper, but BPS has allot of other stuff that Academy doesn't. I went in this past weekend and got a bunch of stuff for my newsed boat. The total was something like $125, but I had $79 dollars accumulated in points, so I used them all, and paid the difference. And I never felt the need to complain, its a point system, they don't force me to participate, I do it cause I want to and I like it. I shop there, so might as well get something in return. If you don't like it, then don't participate. For me it is not feasible to shop at Cabelas, since it is too far.

I just don't get why some folks complain about everything and anything. I like to get the best value for my buck, so I shop around, weather its Academy, tacklewarehouse.com, wally world clearance, you name it, I shop for it. But sometimes I want the item yesterday, and I know BPS has it, so I load up my girls, and we make it a little outing, and in the process I earn some points for it. If I get up there and the price does not suit me, I go elsewhere.

So needless to say I LOVE BPS, but don't shop there exclusively.

I've never had any of my points expire. How can you complain about free money. I shop at Cabela's and Academy and have found the customer service much better at BPS, I usually can't find an employee at the other stores.
