Cabela's Military Discount

[bob r]

i will answer my own question ,none of those companies give military discounts. the whole point of all this is that people are mad because cabelas took away a military discount and now are taking their business to companies that never offered and kind of discount in the first place . giving no credit to cabelas for their past good deeds .

You know, it seems that if you are upset with Cabela's. I shop for what I need at the place with the lowest price for the specific item. If said item is available at a socially minded store that is where I will shop. As far as a discount, when someone gives you a discount it's great to get it unexpectedly . If you expect things like that to be a given it will stop happening. Many of the smaller businesses can not afford to give discounts like you expect. As was pointed out many of these businesses do a lot for local fishing interests, if that's not enough do the American thing, spend your money however you what ,wherever you want. Bob R

Sorry, didn't quite get any of it, I guess. After reading it all again I see that you weren't the orig. poster. I don't have much feeling either way about Cabelas, there is one not far from us and a Bass Pro shop as well.Both have their issues, bass pro shop more then Cabelas I have shopped at both, but spend significantly more money at Sportco, a local store with one other store in Seattle. Bass Pro Shop does have a great bowling alley with a bar and wild fish and sea creature motif. Sportco is run by locals and it stocked for locals, more then anywhere else around here(western WA.). Hard to find items are found on line. Bob R

While I am a 36 year veteran, I can understand why a store might discontinue its on line military discounts as I have witnessed a lot of attempted abuse at my favorite gun store. As for Cabelas or Bass Pro, I typically use them to help me decide on the make and model I want to buy, then shop on line for a better deal. While I do buy tackle, etc. from them, I can usually beat their prices at a number of other vendors. My local tackle store doesn’t have a great selection but is always willing to special order what I need and gives it to me at his price plus 10% mark up.
