Backcountry.com Bro codes suspended

[Helicrackjnky]

So last night I went to use my Backcountry.com Discount code & it did not work. So I emailed my contact at BC & he told me that all discount have been suspended until further notice & may not be reinstated at all due to the new ownership of the company & alot of flagrant abuse of the codes.
Anyone else know whats up?

[adrenalated]

What else do you need to know? Sounds like they told you what was up in a pretty straightforward manner.

[I've seen black diamonds!]

Flagrant abuse? You mean... Buying things?

[snapt]

Buying things for other people, sending your code to your friends, pming it on TGR.

Not directed at the OP but consumers tend to be entitled douche bags these days. Always wanting a hookup and generally having no idea how to respect the hookup or being stealthy regarding sharing the hookup. I say fuck 'em and go back to the old way when pro & shop form were a true privileged and massive discount.

Anybody got a Kokotat hookup they want to share? I need a new drysuit and $1200 is way too much to pay. See..

[kneedropper]

I was bummed too, but truthfully I was pleasantly surprised every time it still worked.

[axebiker]

Can't say I'm surprised. I've been seeing that more and more lately, and not just with outdoor gear.

Only bootlickers buy their coffee at a coffee shop.

Yes. Yes it was.

Pretty interesting brand line up http://www.tsgconsumer.com/partner-c...p?category=All

Regarding, "being cool" I always laugh at the BC.com logo stickers on [insert "cool" "outdoorsy" vehicle here]. What does that say about a person, "I'm a consumer of outdoor gear who does not support brick and mortar retailers" or "I got this free sticker that I think tells the world I like to [insert preferred recreational activity]" or "I like stickers, yeah!"

I know some very long term guys who find the new world of massive leverage very different then the old world. Time will tell.

Like anyone who buys a Yeti cooler is required to put a huge sticker on their Outback/Pickup topper advertising their preferred brand of cooler. Like anyone gives a fuck.

i buy the majority of my gear online (much of it used though). but i also spend plenty at brick and mortar stores too. sometimes i need it quick. sometimes the price difference isn't that much. whenever i'm out of town and go into a shop for beta i make a point of buying something. i rarely shop at backcountry although i do at steapandcheap if they're still related. i have a goat on my rack on a jeep.
glad i could give you a laugh.

I always get a kick out of the people with Apple stickers on their rear window (not so popular these days though)....

[Ottime]

I like free stickers. Great for fixing dings or covering scratches. I also like judgmental pricks. That is why I hang out here.

that's not true. They hooked me up with a big discount on a pair ski boots I already purchased

[Helicrackjnky]

I am bummed about it since it has been a great hook up on stuff I do not get pro deals on elsewhere. When you are out fitting a family of 4 two of which are racing the discounts on wax & googles/lenses helps. I still spend a shit load of money at Brick & Mortar stores as well. They were good to the maggots for a long time.

[TahoeJ]

I was bummed when it stopped working, but my rep still hooked me up. Buying a new MTB from them last year probably didn't hurt.
